My first car was a 65 mustang, then I got a 66 mustang.
I day never went by that I wasn't fixing in my fords.
I did rebuid the engine and raced in Freemont and hit a 13.5 sec 1/4 mile once. Fast for a street car.

Ringo that is not a bad first ride! Pretty darn good ride. I have seen some Sick Mustangs. I have even driven a brand new one that belongs to a friend of mine in Woodland. 2003 I believe it was. It was a convertable, but that sad thing about these is they don't make them as fast as the hard tops. I assume for safety precautions.

Now my dad once upon a time many years ago when I was very young like 5 years old, had a white 69 Ford T Bird Rag top. I remember getting to push the button so the top would come up. Man I thought that was the best thing since McDonalds and Happy Meals. I felt the separation of the socially rich and poor. Cause The shinny cars and rag tops were for the rich and the rest belonged to the less fortunate. Isn't that something. To actually feel such things at such a young age?

My dad being a die hard Chevy man to this day makes that hard to explain but that T Bird was some car. I still can't believe he sold it. But Times got tuff and there were bills to pay. Made me realize the rich were not rich at all but just the normal middle class folk. I love cars! And I have owned some cool rides. Thanks for sharing!

Wow guys, this thread has exploded! What lively discussion! I feel kinda left out, as I don't drive (yet?), but that's okay, it's been fun to read. As for me, right now Klinkman drives my parent's 2006 Toyota Sienna "soccer van" with a ramp equipped around to take me places. If I could though, my dream car would be a Mini Cooper- those things are so cute and sexy! No, I have not seen The Italian Job, but I know they're everywhere in that movie. I'm not much of a car girl I guess, but I do like that one. I definitely don't see the appeal of the Corvette though, that thing is ugly. Except for the one they're giving to the WSOP champions winner, that one's not bad lol. So yeah, I don't have any good stories to tell like you guys, but there's my two cents for this thread lol.

Tay didn't you just get a new set of wheels. The sharp one that goes fast and is green on the bottom. (I think it's grn on the bottom) And everybody gave advice for her name. Which reminds me why didn't you let us know. Unless it's still in the works.

Oh right my new wheelchair! Yeah it's almost ready for me to use full time, it's a lot of fun trying it out though! I still haven't come up with a name for her yet- maybe I should reopen the contest? The only one I seem to remember right now is Old Betsy, I remember Ringo had some Beatles related name but I can't remember what it was right now :( Anyway, yeah I do have that! It's not a car, but it might as well be!

It may not be a car but it has a motor and it has wheels! Just because it don't have doors. I bet shes got a seat belt. And she's yours. Can't get no closer than that to the real thing. But this is in a big way better cause it will fit and go where cars can't. Like on airplanes and on trains. In buildings on sidewalks and in the mall, down hallways, in the movies........ and many many more. Much more convenient IMO.
