What? Here I thought you were a normal well adjusted fella.

My son likes the fox body Mustangs too. I don't know where I went wrong.
I always liked the late 80's Mustang SVO in all its turbo 4 glory, and look how well I turned out! Your boy will be fine.

I had nearly that exact car for my first car. 79 Mustang Pace car with the little cowl induction hood that had a 5.0 and five speed swapped in. Mine had Tops though. But of course, like any responsible high school kid I ruined a really nice original patina paint job in favor of multicolor primer. Haha

That's what HS kids do... f**k up cars. 😂 (speaking from experience).


When my daughter bought her 03 GT and I drove it for the first time I was surprised it wasn't faster. I mean it is decent but my 98 Camaro is much quicker.

The 5.0 Mustangs with a manual transmissions feel fast and sound good, but really aren't impressive when it actually comes down to it, IMO. I raced a LOT of Mustangs back in the day and never even had a close race.

There was a beautiful Red '67 Fastback that ran around Plesant Grove & American Fork back in the day, it sounded good and I lined up against him several times in my ugly, beater Camaro with a 400 HP full-roller 355. I'd walk away from him every single time... made me laugh. He put his money into body work and paint, I put mine into the engine. 😆

The only 5.0 Ford that I ever had a close race with was a nasty Ranger with a BUILT 302 around Provo. We ran down University in Provo one night and at around 110 MPH, he was pulling on me... door to door. A cop going the other direction ended that race before we could finish it. That got exciting real quick!

I had not realized that lever gun prices had gone up so much! I bought my Marlin 6 years ago for $380!

Invest in precious metals, copper, brass, lead and steel. :rofl: My old man still has 100 rnd boxes CCI 22 mag with $1.50 price tags on them from Wolfs, which probably pre-dates you.
Cleaning out my Grandmothers house last summer I found thousands of rounds of .22LR, .22 Mag, 30-06, 20 and 12 gauge in a footlocker that probably hadn't moved since my Grandfather passed away in 1976. Some of the bricks of .22LR have $2 Sears price tags! I almost feel guilty shooting them because they're historic.
