V6 Mustang costing $40,000?!!! even by Canadian dollars, that sounds like the dealer screwed him! Good God, at 101 you would think they'd give him the car to drive free for a couple of years! Sounds like "elder abuse" to me

WOW!! Gotta give his wife props for telling him to go for it. Great story. I think a few donuts in the "mall parking lot" would be the Cherry on top of that Yellow sundae!! Best of Luck to Him.

The two things I noticed,
1. Isn't it screaming yellow, they had brilliant yellow in the article
2. He's 101 and his wife is 88, way to go player! He's robbing the craddle, or the casket or something like that : )
