I bought a Mustang today.
Not my first, but the first I've had in 20 years. At 16 (in 1976) I bought my first, a gold 1965 rustbucket. Floors rotting, I felt like Barney Rubble. I was in love. My father couldn't stand it, so we had a 72 sky blue convertible for me in short order. Had that until I was 20. Next was a sky blue convertible '65 while I went through college in Santa Barbara (photo coming). That was 1988, after the Navy. Putting gas in it one day, a woman offered me twice as much as I bought it. So I sold it.
Now 20 years later, I have another Mustang. I have to admit, I didn't intend to buy it. A local dealer bought all the used cars from another dealer that declared bankruptcy. I went there looking for another car. I knew they were having a great sale. As I walked the lot, I came upon 3 Mustangs in a row. I cannot explain what happened, but as I looked at one of them, it spoke to me. It picked me. It really seems like it chose me to be the one to take care of it. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I've had it for less than a day. All the feelings I had about the Mustang from years ago have come flooding back. I'd forgotten the feeling of loving a car until today.
I haven't kept up with the Mustang over the years. I don't really know what I have right now. Whoever owned it before me got lots of upgrade packages. 2006 hard top. It's a 6, not an 8. 18" wheels. Gray with black stripes. I'll post pictures tomorrow, on this thread. I'll have lots of questions and hoping the peeps here can help me figure out what I have. Did I mention that I'm in love with a car again?
