My stang has been in my family for 10 years also! I'm almost 22, so I was almost 12 when my father ordered my mother a loaded mustang gt. I didn't get to drive it until I was 14, although I have been washing it every week since the day my mother took it home. They gave it to me when I turned 15 (since I loved it so much and took such great care of it) to drive to and from school. I then started my mods when I turned 16. I haven't done anything to it in about 3 years. It's going to be sad, but I'm currently trying to sell it to buy a 5 spd coupe. The AOD-E and convertible just aren't doing it for me anymore. Congrates to you too!
