Talking What is your most memorable moment? Must have a picture

Well after more than 3 1/2 years with the car, I have had many great times. Funny, the most memorable things were both with my middle son, both a good time and a crappy one. Just thought it would be cool for every one to post a picture showing a time that really sticks in your head that involves your stang

Mine, first car show with my kid and the other his reaction to my first whoops.

Not a great moment but I will never forget that dump truck that opened the back gate and started spreading gravel while we were doing over 80 km/h.

One of my most memorable is a Shelby & Mustang gathering my wife & I attended at a friend's house a few months ago. We parked all of our cars in a circle in his lawn and climbed onto the roof of his shop to get a group photo (my car is on the far left of the circle between two white Shelby Mustangs)...

Brian, I can see why that would be memorable. Wow, I can only imagine how cool it would have been to be there.

Easy to believe. The pic I posted above was just shy of $15,000.00 by the time the repair was finished.

Ouch! Must have been a Chevy fan.

I've seen your progress photos, and always wondered why you painted it. I figured something went wrong because of the filler spots. But was always kinda thinking that you didn't like that shade a blue, and wanted it to POP a little more. lol

I love the shade of blue. I just find the car doesn't care for rocks I still have the original pony emblem with a few pieces of gravel lodged in it. Had to replace the windshield, fog lights, head lights, signals, grille and pony.

Not only was the circle of Mustangs cool, but we had a live band, bbq, and then a long/scenic group drive from his house out along the Columbia River to a few scenic stops via some nice back country roads. Here's a shot from inside my car during the road trip portion of the day...

All the mustang owners in my area are snobs. They all think they are better than everyone else, except me of course I just wish I had moments like that where a bunch of S197 owners got together for a cruise.

That's sad to hear John. I just don't know any of the S197 owners around here. If there is a club around here of sorts, I don't even know about it.
