How Many People Have You Influenced?

I just realized after my last post I have quite a few "Mustang Converts"

1. My two sons -- one has my 1993 SSP LX the other owns a 1993 Cobra
2. My father in law -- bought 3 Saleens in succession
3. One of my BMW customers that is now a Ford fanatic - he's currently looking for the right car
4. One of my co-workers - he wants one like mine and is currently negotiating a good price.

I found one constant -- if you give them a ride or two, they are sold. I don't like selling anything that's why I work in the service department. I guess if you love the car, it rubs off on people.

just my $.02

oh no, I forgot one -- my mother-in-law (she pasted away) had two 94 Mustangs V6's one blue the other was red..

I guess my mom started all this madness -- she bought a 1966 Mustang at Robert Loud Ford for $3,286.00 brand new.

I drove her 1967 like a madman in during the 70's.

My first Mustang was a freshly ordered 1986 LX 5.0 (8.8.1986 delivery)

she bought the mustang and didnt want to keep parking on the gravel driveway because the inside of the car kept getting dirty, so her husband went and built the pad, as the first step towards putting up a garage. I think it rocks!

One, so far. An old buddy of mine from our gearhead days in the 70's & early 80's. I spent 20 yrs in the Navy & retired a few yrs ago. He found me on Facebook & we met up at a local car show last summer. He had gotten out of musclecars a long time ago. The Monday after the show I got a text from him saying "I think I want to get back into cars." We went on a Mustang search, & he wound up buying a Torch Red 05 GT with a Roush blower. We've been hitting the shows & cruise-ins ever since!
