I stopped by the video store (not an "adult" one)  on Saturday night. As I was going in, an 8 year old kid stopped me, point to my 67 and said, "I like it".  Mustangs rock. ------------------

That's awesome. Sounds like a future Gearhead who will hopefully keep these bad boys rolling long after we're gone.  ------------------

Your sure he wasn't pointing to the Civic with the wing behind you?! Even many of the import guys around here like the older Mustangs. They don't seem to like the newer ones much though.

Very cool.I had two offers to buy mine on Saturday. One was from a guy with a parrot on each shoulder, and the other from a guy at the gas station as they hooked his heap up to a tow truck. I tended to doubt the sincerity of both offers. Gregg ------------------

To me there is nothing better then a thumbs up,big smile or a COOL from a kid.
I was headed for work the other morning.There was a group of kids waiting for the bus at the end of my block. They all gave my the thumbs up,some yelled cool car,one kid said smoke them. He's the one thats going to be a hotrodder 
Nothing makes it all worth it more then that.------------------

The best one was from a hotty who rolled down the window of her truck and said, "That's the prettiest thing I've seen in a long time." I should have said, "You must not have looked in the mirror, darlin'" or "Yeah, it's fast too. You wanna go for a ride". But instead, I just smiled and said, "Uhhh, thanks." When you own a Stang, you gotta be prepared for this sort of thing. Next time, next time...

Our daughter, driver/owner of a Civic SI says that those after market wings make the Ricers look like shopping carts OR that they are the handles to push with when they die on the road!  ------------------

Just like the rest of you guys I can't drive the thing without someone saying something. One of the best was the classic Sunday in the church parking lot. The perfect church going family with two boys about 8 and 10 heading in. The boys about had their heads swivelled off when they noticed that I had seen them checking out my car. They managed to both give me the cool low down thumbs up in sync. I can't wait to get my motor back!!!------------------
