That would be a "bone of contention."

 

I planned on purchasing a Mustang as a retirement gift to myself. When my 2001 Ranger started acting up I decided to move up my purchase. My local dealer had a silver 2012 with 17K miles on it. (Purchased in 2013) Had the V6 with performance package & stick shift. A short test drive and my wife said "BUY IT"!. How could I not buy it? I like it so much that I purchased a used Hyundai to drive in the winters here in NY. The 305 HP is more then my last 3 cars total! More then enough. Had an 89 with the 2.3L ... but I do not even consider it a Mustang. Retired April 2014 .... Hershey

 

Congrats. I also retired in April 2014, 4/30 to be exact. Twenty days later there was a triple black '14 GT Premium 'vert in my driveway. Most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.

 

When I retired in 2007, I bought a GT/CS two days before. One of my co-workers asked if I was ever going to grow up..I just bought a 2015 EB, my third Mustang since 2007 (I also had an SHO in 2013). I bought my first one in 1979, a Silver over Black Cobra which we took to Germany and it continued from there, 1986 SVO, 1997 Cobra and then the 2007.

You only live once, and age has nothing to with it. I told my wife if I even looked at a Buick she could put me on an ice berg and push me into the river.

I truly enjoy the disproving frowns from the wives and the smiles from the guys 70 and over when we drive up to a restaurant.

Also, join a local club. I was just at a meeting. Great fun! A mixture of all ages, but with one common interest, the Mustang.

 

Fixed and agree!!!

 

Go for it

My dad is 67 and loves is 2010 Convertible. He and i have more to talk about now

 

Post some pics of your dad's Mustang, Darren....maybe next to yours.

 

Never too old! My grandfather was in his 70's in the early 1990's when he bought his first brand new car. It was a Nissan 200SX...not a Mustang, but it was a sporty car for him and he enjoyed it his last few years. I say go for it!

 

Did you ever buy one? Or did you forget where you posted this question?

 

He's only showing 1 post. Sure hope the poor guy didn't croak before he got his Mustang!!!!

 

There's a guy on the ST forum that's 83. Never too old!

 

Unless there is a truly compelling reason not to, do it. I was 70 when I bought my '14 5.0 GT 6-speed manual last summer. I also built a fresh bullet for my '72 'Cuda so now I have a choice of classic or modern pony/muscle car to drive. With it's aluminum headed small block and 5-speed TKO the 'Cuda isn't any slouch either. In my case at least this isn't some sort of late life crisis or "bucket list" thing. I've been driving and racing cars like this since my late teens. Take a road trip in it with your wife or girlfriend and maybe do an autocross or track day. I am taking my girlfriend to New Orleans in April for the Indy Car race there. Why not join us, you won't regret it.

 

68 here and loving my 15 EB Vert 6 speed. Too bad this NE weather won't allow me to drive it, much less with the top down.

 

At the dealer right now let's see if I drive home in one within the hour!

 

Pics of the GF??

 

I hope the OP didn't pass away. Just 1 post in 2013 and no more

 

If so, I hope he's driving that big GT 500 in the sky,

 

He went to hell, and drives a Prius.

 

Haha

 

I keep seeing this so if you have to ask then yes .
