Demographics...
OK, so this is definitely off topic, but I am posting it in here in hopes that the Mod Gods will see fit for it to stay, as it pertains directly to the members of this section.
I am trying to learn(for my own twisted curiosity) a little more about the type of people who are members of this section. I obviously cannot ask that you share personal information, that's not safe, but I am curious about as much as you are comfortable with sharing. For example, what age bracket do you fall in(young punk, middle aged, geezer etc lol), what do you do for a living, are you married, have kids? what part of the country do you live in( it's easier to own a stang in florida then maine, as most people need a second 4wd vehicle for winter then), do you race it or is it a daily driver, etc etc.
I think it's ironic that I just saw another thread posted about people having the car paid off, and I was wanting to start this thread for a while now. I am just very curious how mustangs came to be a part of each of your hobbies, as there certainly are a ton of recreations out there, and we are definitely a different breed..lol.
I myself am 24. I live in Northeastern Ohio. I have a degree in electronics engineering, and work with parking access control systems at the Cleveland Clinic in downtown Cleveland...they don't pay me nearly enough lol. I just got married last week, I never plan to have kids, ever, just don't like em' lol. The mustang is just a weekend driver for fun, and it is a constantly evolving project. I have never raced it, though I may this summer, all depends on cash flow.
I guess we'll see how long this lasts.

24, degree in Economics from the Univ. of CT, currently in technology sales, absolutely hate it. Do pretty well for myself doing it so I guess it's alright! Always been into cars, LOVE classic muscle cars and specifically fell back in love with Mustangs after I crashed my Audi after a night out, and was sitting on my parents kitchen table on my computer on craigslist. The windows to my living room were open and my Mom and I were talking in the kitchen about what car I was going to buy. As I started to say Acura TL, a Mustang went FLYING up my street. It was so loud that it sounded like the guy was trying to do a 0-80 run from the end of the street into his driveway. I said, "Mom, I'm thinking about buying this white TLLLLLLLLLL I mean mustang!" The look of horror came out her face and I found my baby on craigslist that day and boom its been the biggest pain in my ***/loving relationship I've ever had lol. The mod bug only bit me in the *** on the ride home from picking it up that night. Ever since....its been an obsession of what the next mod will be.
Renting a room from my buddy who bought a house on the water and now have a 70 mile commute to/from work so I'm looking for another job/another car and another place to live in the next 4-6 months...

Wow guys thanks for the responses so far! Keep em' coming! I suppose I forgot to add my history of car relationships lol. I have owned 5-6 cars, all were fords, mostly rangers. I now have an explorer for my wife to drive, I have a company car, we are trying to sell her blowbalt POS lol. I bleed blue, never going to change. I have had the speed bug since I was born. My dad used to street race back in the day, when the cops were there to bet on the race not take you to jail lol. I had a ranger with a blower on it capable of 14s...I had some fun messing with mustangs lol. I blew that up a few times and decided to get a mustang.
