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!

My GoFund Me is up. If you donate, I'll let you park your car in the garage and use to pool once a year.

I think the owner (Kenny Novotny) was high on his own supply, building that in OKC.

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.
