got to drive the mustang for the 1st time in over 3 weeks. had my hip replaced march 5th. wasn't able to drive untill i could put full weight on my leg. dr said i could start trying yesterday, so today i went and picked up the kids from the sitter. i left a hour early(for 10min ride) i made it on time but it was close. it was great music loud, passing cars. i used to park my "good car" all winter never bothered me but being told i couldn't drive it made it alot harder. while that it just wanted to say the mustang put a smile on my face again.

 

Glad you got that smile back! Hope your rehab goes well.

 

Just take it slow and you will be fine.

 

I know lots of people here have the modding bug, but a hip mod? What is the expected horsepower gain? Do you have to get a re-tune now or can you stay with your factory tune?

Best of luck with your new part!

 

i don't know what kind of hp gains it will give me, but i should be faster at the track. and thats where it matters right?

 

If you have an automatic I am sure that makes it a little easier on you. Glad you are back in the saddle again.

 

Glad your doing better.

 

Yes, I remember you..glad to see you are back!

 

I know how you feel, I had my 4th surgery last September to fix a broken leg I did skiing in November 2005. I had to hand the keys from the Mustang over to my son, while I drove his automatic Grand Am. Life isnt fair. Finally got the all OK from the Doctor recently to start using my bad leg for shifting again. My son hates it.

 

4 in one year you must have really messed it up. hopefully last. this is my 4th hopefully the last. tell your son now he has something to look foward to when he buyshis own mustang.
