Is it time for me to cue up the old sad bastard music?

I for one am glad to hear from young guys these days who still like cars and especially cars like the Mustang instead of some overpriced and under powered torqueless wonder like the FR-S. So you're alright in my book Tman. We just want you to be careful out there. I've seen too many young guys get hurt and killed. Have a Merry Christmas bro.

Based on your grammar and poor sentence structure I'm going to assume that you're about 16 or 17 years old. You sound just like me when I was that age. That kind of attitude towards driving only has two outcomes; prison or death. It took me four speeding tickets and 4 years of driving to understand that. How long is it going to take you?
Uh oh, Tman tellin it straight!


Hey, what part of Texas Tman? I spent a few years at a little place called Fort Hood.

I love it. Two young guys ready to go at the drop of a hat. Sound familiar to any of you other "more experienced" guys out there? To Everyone: Have a wonderful Christmas, and spend it with someone you care about.

You will, Tman, barring any unforeseen disaster, and you'll be just fine with it. Enjoy your youth while you can, the strength and the energy and the good health; just keep your wits about you and you'll have plenty of good stories to tell your grandkids (and not too many scars to show them). Best of luck to ya.

Ah Dallas, home to my favorite football team. I'm hoping Romo doesn't choke on us in the playoffs.

Wait till next year- The big D will have All day Peterson behind Romo in the backfield- THEN you guys got a shot. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion up here on da tundra the child whippers ain't allowed to play for a tree hugging, liberal state like Minnesnowtah.

I have wanted a "premium GT" for at least 15 years. Definition being, Mustang GT, leather interior, nice factory stereo.


Now I have one. Finally. I am 32 years old, and now, I finally have my nice, fun, fast, stylish dream car.


Over the years, I have owned three separate 4.6 powered Thunderbirds, Two 96 birds, and one 95 bird. I loved those cars, and had various stages of modding done to all three over the years, from nearly stock, all the way up to WAY wild and over done.


This is my third Mustang. Ten years ago, I bought my first Mustang, it was a Competition Orange 2004 V6 with a manual transmission, and every option with the exception of leather.


My second Mustang was a 2013 V6 with a manual transmission and ZERO options.


I threw some mods at both of those Mustangs, none of which was never satisfying. Trying to go fast. Ultimately money and time wasted.


I had a 2013 F150 5.0 - I really liked that one, did some things to that one as well, but it wasn't satisfying, because I wanted a Mustang. Again though, all mods on this one = money wasted.


And Now, like I said earlier, I finally have one. A legitimate fast sports car.


But here's the thing...did I get old? I completely enjoy the car. I am grateful to have it, after all these years, and such a long journey to get to this point in life (and that statement reflects far more than anything related to cars)


I have no desire to drive really fast or crazy. I have a slight itch to change things, modifications, all that, but I am really basically fine with it stock, and that's a first for me. This is also a first where I got the car as close to how I wanted as possible.


So, I don't know...is this just a normal part of coming back to this world a bit older? Can anyone relate to what I am saying here? I'm not even entirely sure what the point is that I am trying to make, if any at all.


Anyway...any insight? Like I said, really happy with every aspect of the car.


You haven't changed, I'll bet. You will mod your car. I am 61 and the mod bug has not left me yet.

Ah, I miss Oregon. I lived in Beaverton from 1991 until 1993. Beautiful place. Loved the ride along the Columbia and also down through Tillamook.
