Ok... here is how it all got started. One day back in 1993 while sitting in my study hall class (which just happened to be the area of the auto-repair class where the written tests were taken) , I was sitting there watching the movie BULLITT (here is an great unofficial page about this awesome movie) since it was study hall and I had finished all my work. I remember looking up at a poster the teacher had hanging in the classroom that had a picture of every Mustang ever built to date. It grabbed my attention so much that I became enamored with this poster and would study it almost every day after that. I remember sitting there thinking to myself, "Someday I will own a Mustang of my own". I thought a few of the models and years were kind of ugly (especially the ones that looked like Datsuns) and some just didn't look enough like the originals for my taste.Fast forward a couple of years...The church I was attending about the time I started driving was a small one with few people that attended on a regular basis. The pastor's son was a member of the youth group I hung out with, but since he and all the other "cool kids" were a bit older than me, I never got in good enough with him to be good buddies. He bought a classic '65 or '66 (can't remember now) bright red mustang, in almost mint condition. I never got to ride in it, but I was in love with it the minute I saw it. Unfortunately, he got rid of it in lieu of a '95 purple S-10 for some reason...A couple of years after that...My sister started dating a guy from the local retail store we all worked at that owned a black '66 Mustang. It was a work in progress, but I wanted it for my own since the first time he pulled in the driveway to see my sister. Little did I know that he and his brother were both Mustang fans and both owned a few over the years. The one time I got to ride in it with my future brother-in-law I was blown away by how cool I felt just by partaking in the luster of being seen in a 'stang. The years have past and that Black Mustang is long gone - sold to someone who had the extra time and money to restore it I presume.Around that same time...My next door neighbor and long-time family friend bought a mid-to-late 80's Mustang and I got to ride in it for a while back and forth to school. He wrecked it one day that I didn't ride with him along a stretch of road that had no speed limits and it was never the same again. He got rid of it shortly after.Present day glee...I can't say that I ever followed the Mustang line very closely because I did not think my dream of owning one would ever come true. I have driven some crappy cars in my time, and some that were great but not quite the car I always wanted. I never was particularly fond of the body style of some of the newer Mustangs (1994-2004), but I would have been proud to have one no matter the style. I would give my eye-teeth to own a 2005+ because they are really reminescent of the originals in my opinion. Now, after not-so-secretly desiring to have a Mustang for 13+ years, I finally have my own.
