Default new "Ride of the Month" idea...

there are a few magazine cars here, how about a month for them only? This would open it up to any year car, and since it was good enough to put in print, it would be a tough one to vote on!

I got an e-mail from a local Mustang club, and I replied...

am a proud owner of a 1986 LX hatch, which has been in the family since new. This car has been across the country to many shows from The Fabulous Fords Forever to the Wold Ford Challenge. The 86 has over 300,000 miles and is a daily driver. In July of 2003, the Mustang was involved in an accident that almost caused its demise and has been resurrected.

thanks, it is now up to 312K, but I put it on collector insurance, so I can only drive it about 2500 miles a year now
