I got home from my 15 month deployment last week and since the Mrs. and the little one were home I didnt really have time to get the car back on the road. Finally two days ago I started taking it off the stands late in the afternoon. Yesterday she started with just minor hiccups. The fuel pump went bad while she sat, so I replaced it, then I moved the dizzy while I had it out to prime the oil pump. So I had to pull a plug and reset it. Then she turned over and fired right up! I used a half a tank of gas just driving all over town. No place to go, but going anyway. Perma Grin was in place I am getting out of the army and was considering selling her, but now I dont think there is any way I am gonna let it go. Plus my two year old LOVES it.

 

Welcome back, and thanks for your service.

Glad to hear your car was so easy to start. I can't wait till I can cruise all afternoon in mine, but I'm still a ways away.

Good looking car too!

 

Thank you for your service sir. Army men have been enjoying Mustangs for years and you deserve it! Great looking Mustang.

 

Welcome back. You were down in southern Africa or some similar place this time weren't you? Was that pirate territory?

 

Thanks to all. I was very happy that she was so easy to start. And then purely by accident I was turning a corner from a stop and roasted the tires, well, one of em anyway. Man I missed this car. My daughter just squealed and said "Make it go vroom daddy"! Made my day.

Yeah, I was in the Horn of Africa. I spent 9 months in Djibouti stationed about 20 miles from the Somali border, then I spent about 5 months in Uganda. Not to bad as far as deployments go. Never wore body armor, hardly ever carried a weapon, and we could drink beer. It was a nice change from my other deployments.

 

THANKS

 

Thanks for your service Blue. Glad you made it back safely and are enjoying your mustang again.

 

I'm glad your able to enjoy it again. Thats awesome that you didn't have to do too much to get it started up again.

I don't think I could ever sell mine. My dad and I built it together and it is so much fun to drive.
