lol, i used to always be in here, but now im everywhere else

I could not agree with you ANY more. EVERY classic i pass shows me the same respect I show them. Other mustang owners, f they even RECOGNIZE im in a mustang, almost completely fail to recognize any kind of mutual respect.

and to confirm... I'm 21. And my first car was a 67 coupe. I have been through 8 classics since, and am about to acquire my 9th this weekend. (another 67)

I met alot of guys with newer ones at the meet and greet saturday that I liked, but many of them were punkasses whose daddy bought them a quick first car. really disgusts me.

Thanks for everyone being understanding. I really like it here. I have learned alot, and I hope I have been able to share some of my knowledge with people. I have limits and where I don't know, someone else always picks up. Its the way we work here. Tuning our cars doesnt include bolting on a chip. It includes hard work and alot of patience, and knowledge that many guys here have. It's really nice.

Again Im not saying all new model owners are asses, just a large majority compared to owners of classics...

im 18, and have my first classic, (67 coupe) and first car. And yes, "Daddy" bought it for me, but I am paying him back for it, and it is "both of ours" and its far from a show car, its broke down more often than it runs lol. I love it tho, the knowledge i am learning from everyone here, and from trial and error, the mutual respect when i see someone else driving their classic (especailly another mustang owner) its worth it. Also its nice to because my dad and I can work on it together. If I ever do have to get rid of the 67mustang it will be a sad day because I will, and already do have a lot of blood sweat and tears in it.

ps. I love it when you see someone in a new mustang, who thinks they are badass and they can't even tell you something as simple as changing their oil, or anything else for that matter =)

My first car was a 2001 mustang gt convertible. black with leather seats. it was a slick car for a 16 year old.

long story short i killed myself working for that car and i used to go on the forums. and would try to have conversations about caster/camber angles and swapping to 4v heads. and people would tell me im an idiot and things like that.

its about as positive as a war zone over there.

i just picked up my fourth mustang which is a 67 and ive been on this side for a while. its much more positive and informative.

i was reading a car magazine the other day. it was an opinion piece about some actor totaling his Enzo ferrari. the writer went on to say that a "car guy" who would have bought the brakes and spent a week sweating and bleeding to install the 89758 inch brakes on the ferrari would have had greater respect for the ability and value of the car versus somone who just bought a ferrari. and the guy that worked on that car to build it himself more likely than not would not have put his car in that situation because he valued that car much more.

rant off.

I am learning alot from the classic section you guys are the greatest. You Answer even the stupidest of my questions. I am older and wanted a muscle car again. First car was a 68 camaro, second was a 70 challenger, So I know very little aboutMustangs. So I was alittle worried about doing it. The guys on here have made me glad I decided to go ahead and buy theMustang.

Itotally agree with everything that has been said here. I've noticed the commrodery (sp :P) amongst classic car owners. Driving around in my best friend's 74 vette we get waves from other classic vette owners (really almost any classic car driving on the road at the time)and when we try to wave at C5's and C6's even C4's they just look at us like we're stupid or something, as if we're not good enough because we "can't afford" a brand effing new Vette with everything already on it. It really saddens me.

I rarely go outside the classic section, and if I do its to off topic. There its a whole different world, you can't have a post without someone changing it or pointing out simple flaws or just with someone going *****! lol

made me think about the time i was installing the engine in a 72 i had, i pushed hood hinge down with the spring on it few hours later it popped and slammed me in the jaw, it didnt cut my skin but i believe it chipped my jaw bone i can still feel the spot where it hit small dent
