I on the other hand got a Mazda truck at 16 (1986) and was happy for having a car, I then got married, had very sensible cars, then divorced, had another truck (toyota this time), all the cars I ever owned were 4 bangers........ but my problem all along is this.

My dad owned a 5.0 fox back in the 80's (probably bought it 82-84, can't remember exactly now). it was an amazing car, I don't remember the acceleration, the sound, nothing... I just knew my dad owned a MUSTANG... and from then I was sold. I dreamed of owning a mustang all my life.

Now I do. Many of you are more fortunate than I, you've owned some great muscle cars in your life, and many have owned at least one mustang.

I on the other hand had to go out to my garage and just "look" at my car, love everything about it, can't wait to drive it, dream about what I can do to mod it like you guys all talk about (and have to a small extent), but to be honest, I still - to this day - believe that I finally got the car of my dreams. A dream that has lasted over decades (well, to be honest probably 30 years now). I love that it's Gotta Have It Green. I love my new boss 302 quad exhaust sound, I drive in the cold with the heater up and the window down just to hear it....

it's a dream come true. and I'm glad I can share it with fellow enthusiasts like you guys.

I know there are other who feel like this, and I'm glad to share this with others who feel the same, thanks for reading

Just wanted to share a little mustang love tonight.

It's my grandfathers birthday this sunday, he was born in Cork, Ireland in 1906, and because of him I'm here today, he's passed now, but I feel the green mustang (and my first St. Patrick's Day with it), are a tribute to him in a way, maybe I see too much into things. So, to all those Irish among us (and those who celebrate anyhow), I cheer you with Jameson s and Guinness.

Long Live the MUSTANG!!!!
