Greetings everyone,

I am the proud new owner of a silver 04 Mustang GT. This is the first car I've owned that isn't a 4-cylinder engine and I'm still getting used to driving it. I got my Mustang used, traded in another car for it, and the payments on my Mustang are lower. I've always wanted a Mustang. This wasn't the real reason I got it. My father, whom does not have long left, has a Mustang as well. I believe his is an 05 GT, black with red stripes and the black and red leather interior. He always had the weird dream of a father/son racing team and Mustangs. Heh, I don't know why or where it comes from. I figured since I've always wanted a Mustang, and he has that dream, I can kill two birds with one stone. Now we both have our Mustangs. I know it probably wasn't the best of reasons, but the smile on his face on Father's Day when I showed him my Mustang and that we both now have one, was something I hadn't seen in a long time and totally worth it...

You'll probably see me around asking lots of newbie questions as I am not much of a car person. I am a huge computer nerd though, so there was a trade-off somewhere. If you're in Tulsa, Oklahoma and see a silver Mustang with Shelby rims and a license plate that reads KITSUNE, that's me, driving like a nun.

 

welcome to the forums!

 

Welcome to the forums. I'm glad for your father. My son and I both own Mustangs...It's hard to explain why Mustangs, fathers and sons go so well together...it's something like magic. Glad your father has something to smile about.

 

Thanks guys. You'll probably be hearing a few audio related questions from me in the near future.

Welcome to the Forums! I know the feeling my father used to own a mustang and my brother and I have fond memories of it. I bought my mustang b/c I've always wanted a classic car and my brother bought a 07 ShelbyGT last year. Since we're very close and he can't talk about his job (Intel Officer in the Air Force) I thought this would be a great way for us to spend time together and have something to talk about.

I know if my father was like a teenager again when he drove my brothers mustang. It was the thrill and excitement (and memories) for him of growing up in the 60's.

Glad you got a chance to do something with your father that you both will enjoy.
