Well, some people in certain jobs are "forced" in to retirement due to physical problems. They can't do the strenuous work they have been doing.

I've been fortunate, despite 2 deployments, jumping from perfectly good airplanes, lots of ruck marching, etc... I'm still in very good health, and I transitioned out of the infantry after 10.5 years, in 2015. I'm a data scientist, these days. So, I work on a computer pulling data and doing analytical projects. The old job was harder and didn't lead to a post-military job. This job is probably worth a lot more on the outside, not counting the military pension.

now i can hopefully expect to receive the shaft
@FastDriver were you ever on SoCalStangs like 15 years ago? Is your '93 teal with grey ground effects? I vaguely remember "grover" and a turbo 363 mustang from back in the day. Could you be you, maybe not though.

I was young back then, and he was 'older'. I'm now old myself, so he must be reaaaaally old.
15 years ago it was definately Joe Navarro, @GroverDill . And, yes, he lived in SoCal, at the time.
I am fortunate to own my 2 favorite foxbodies. And not teal, Reef Blue.

I honestly think Joe and I both beat the pro, but I love all 3.

That first pic looks like Mustangs by the Bay car show in Seaport village.
I always liked that wheel combo. 
I wouldn't want to clean all the little round thingies around lip tho. 
Are they 17 front and back or are the rears smaller? The images play tricks

Joe, so many people I've met immediately recognize this car because of you -- they ask about times before I owned it
-- and it's clear just how much it means to the community. I'm incredibly proud to be part of its story now. I hope to not only live up to the legacy you've created but also share the passion and history of this car with others.
Already, it’s given me countless memories—tuning it, taking it to car shows, and even holding my own in some spirited runs against Hellcats, ZL1 Camaros, Corvettes it blew up against and still outran, and more. This car has a soul, and I can only hope to be a worthy steward of its spirit, carrying forward the excitement it sparks in me to the wider community and to the next generation of Foxbody enthusiasts.
When you owned it, it was my favorite car—besides the dream I had for my own build. Now, as its caretaker, I feel a responsibility to honor the vision and passion that you poured into it. This car isn't just a machine—it's a bridge between past and future, keeping the Foxbody legacy alive and thriving.
Not too much different than my board and cinder block version
