- 17, 18, 22 - "Old Folk, like 40" -

Okay, now I do feel old. Noob to the forum, but old!

I remember that new 1969 GT500 FB my Uncle had well. - I was 9

If you kids would like a lollypop there may still be some in the Halloween candy!

 

I am 30, so I guess I am not one of the kiddies, but I havent hit the infamous 40 mark everyone refers to being "officiall old".

 

Hey, I don't refer to 40 as old... at least not any more.

I remember 20, and a 29" waist, and... you know, hair. At least mine isn't grey, but then you need to have some for that to happen.

DAn,careful who youre calling kids.looks like we "kids" might be answering youre questions a few times. lol Well let you stay in the young category. too hahaha. Youre only as old as you lt yourself get.And to the reply about soaring,that was one of the other things i noticed,few people know soaring when we reference him.I didnt particularly care for him but he offered a lot of good solid advice

 

At least a few members have joined as a result of MustangForums links posted on other boards either as an official advertisement or by individual mention in a post. In my case, I think it was through ProbeTalk, so with a (non-running, not mine yet) '66 sitting in my garageI stopped in. And stayed.

I really can't tell if 8 months here makes me part of the "old guard" or a newbie. Or adrift somewhere in the middle.

To at least a few of us, if you're only ~40 you're still only a kid, so, ummm, nevermind(and I'll save everybody the trouble of calling me an old f*rt by typing it myself) . . . . . . Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, help andgood information is where you find it. Sometimes it takes experience, other times a fresh eye or the ability to look outside the box.

Fairly new to this forum, but been a Mustang owner for 29 years. Owned my current car for the past 27 years. Did the full resto, so know a bit about 1st gen cars. Oh ya, I'm 44.

 

Or slap a turbo onto a 4 banger to NOT keep up with out V8's....

Yeah its weird that alotta people don't know who Soaring or Mojo or Chicken is... I kinda miss their comments and stuff, even if Soaring was kind of a duesche every now and then... lol
But yeah a lot of us are younger, and know a few things cuz we've spent so much time out in the garage turning wrenches. And I actually got offered a job a several auto stores, not because I don't wanna work at Walmart, but cuz I could answer their customers questions better than the people behind the counter.

 

Acualy I think it's great that so many younger people are into the Mustangs, be it for improving speed, restoration or both. Improving knowledge is never a bad thing and you can't be into these cars without doing that. Not too many other places where 17,18, - 22 year olds would just strike up a conversation with a 40-60 year old on the spur of the moment. [sm=smiley32.gif]

 

I am not old, nor am I in my 20's. But I love seeing someone my age or younger owning these cars. Kids today seem to be caught up in the ricer + huge annoying fart can exhaust crowd.
