Subject: RE: What was your first car? What was your favorite car (that you owned/leased)?
First: 1980 Mustang. Straight six POS but took all the abuse a 17 year old could dish out.
Favorite: 2001 Mustang Bullitt. Had one, sold it to my sister to make room for daughter #2. Traded in the Lunchbox (see avatar ) for another one six months later. EXACTLY the same. Some cars just "fit" right, and I won't be selling this one.
Close runner up: 1965 Mustang coupe. Had it for seven years, been apart for the last four. Drivetrain and fuel injection from '93 Cobra, 4 wheel power disc, Shelby suspension set up, rack and pinion, too much else to remember. 90% done. I have to paint it and finish assembly, but house/family/etc. leave little time. I wanted to see if I could build my own car, so I did.
Yes, I have a Mustang problem. Had seven of them. In-laws think I'm nuts. Sometimes I do, too.
