14 years tomorrow... wow

96,000 miles of fun and abuse, still going strong... the 06 has been been parked for the winter a month now, one of many reasons I cant wait till winters over- even if it really hasn't started yet.

wifes only drove her 07 a couple times this year, and the 09 is still stuck at 5.3 miles on the clock. We ran a few autocrosses this summer, honestly dont know if 'I' will again, might leave the driving to the kids... last time think the adrenaline rush about got me- got physically sick, could barely breathe... t driver cars are pretty nonstop, soon as youre off the track, swap numbers,trade seats, go, repeat... riding is as intense as driving- getting old I guess, but it sure was fun. might do some runs but no more nonstops- the car can handle it, but I cant LOL
this pic was 2018 actually, but the car aint changed any... still think all-in-all, the 05-09 was the best looking/most bang for the buck Ford ever put out...

yep, they say time flies when you're having fun . . . and it flies when you aren't, too . . . I am coming up on 10 years with my 2010, hard to believe for me also . . . also about to start my 60th year on this earth, which is even harder to believe

if Autocross is too intense, you might want to try a track day -- 20 minute sessions with an hour or so to chill in between . . . check out tracknightinamerica.com for one of the easiest to get in to

Mine will be 14 years old this December- my 07 was delivered from Ford in December 2006.

I now have 3600 miles on the clock, took it out today for a nice ride on the Long Island highway- runs and looks like showroom.
