  2. He loved cars so much and it certainly rubbed off on me. I end up with my Pop's cars. 3 of my 4 cars I own now were my Pop's.....LOL My 88 5.0 Mustang was my Pop's that he bought from the original owner in the 90's. I bought it from him in 2002. And also my 99 Mustang......... Pop buys new. My nephew gets it next. Then I buy it from my nephew. Too bad I did not have the cash to buy my Pop's last car, 98 Mustang GT convertible.
  3. First car I drove was a 1977 Mercury Monarch 4-door. First car I owned was a 71 Super Beetle with "auto" stick. That Bug went through the family. Pop bought it from the original owner. Then I got it from him. Then Pop got it back after I bought my 68 Mustang coupe. Then my sister needed a car and bought it from Pop. Then she got another car and Pop got it back again. Finally left the family after Pop wanted a newer car. My Crown Vic has a crazy family passage as well. Pop buys from original owner. Then brother-in-law gets it. Then back to Pop. Then goes to my nephew. Then Pop gets it again. Then co-worker buys for son. Then I buy from my co-worker. I'm keeping it.
  4. I guess it would very easy to pass a driver's test in a self driving car.....? But then what do I need a driver's license for if the car is doing all the driving.....? Can it take itself to the mechanic ( sorry, computer tech).....?
  5. 1977 Mercury Monarch 4-door, dark blue, white vinyl top, 302 V8. My Pop took me on Sunday's to a close by industrial court. I was well prepared when I got to driver's Ed and drove a 1980 Buick Skylark, I remember it had the extra brake peddle on the passenger side for the instructor.
  6. Still to me one of the sexiest cars ever made........
  7. Looks like a nice buy. Good luck with her.
  8. Not sure how to check but there is a thing called "Idle Hours" that Crown Vic guys always want to know on their cop vics. I think one idle hour is equal to 25-30 miles of driving. I would for sure check the tension pulley for the s-belt. Also check the ignition coils for cracks. I belong to this site for Vics (mine is a non-cop 96), LOTS of info here........ https://www.crownvic.net/
  9. I just checked my 99 Mustang sticker price (my Pop bought it new) to today's dollars......$18,500 is now $29,400.
  10. Oh man.....Loved him. The original "Fun with Dick and Jane" is an all time favorite of mine.
  11. What a waste of a perfectly good Charger grill.
  12. Now that I would drive the wheels off..................!!!!
  13. Put new shoes on my yellow Pony. All 4 wheels/tires/ mounted-balanced/shipped for $668. Might get some black lugs and maybe a center running horse badge/sticker.
  14. MASSIVE Mustang fan here but I'd rather have a replica of Eleanor than that Foose Mach 1.......
  15. I'm a slot man..............or as I called them in high school.......Jelly Bean mags.
  16. O man......that's my go to paint. Guess I have to check the local hobby stores here and see if they have any.
  17. Take home a cat......
  18. Only mags I get now are Old Cars Weekly and Hemming's Classic Cars.
  19. Shelby...... and food bowl empty.....
  20. RIP........Such a fine actor. For some reason my favorite role of his was in the movie "The Star Chamber".
  21. Toyota Cell-ah-ka or Cell-lee-ka.....? BTW....I call all Porsche's "Poo-she's"
  22. They are slow but they are very under staffed. A friend of mine is a mail carrier and he said that more than 14,000 workers have been quarantined because of the virus.
  23. Thrift store find, $4.99. Complete.
  24. Here is my build of this one, the kit i bought was opened but not started and came with the resin teardrop hood. I want to redo all the trim in bare metal foil as I built this one before I learned how to use foil. And it sure does have that windshield lean.
