What is your first memory with a Mustang? - Page 2

crewzin · 12-20-2001, 02:31 AM

My first memory of my stang was the best. My dad had been telling me for a while he was going to get himself a new Bronco and give me his old one. So one day he called from work and said he had found one and was going to pick it up after work. This meant the old 78 Bronco was going to be alllllll minnneee. I worked all day long cleaning and waxing the beast and was so proud that my dad was going to have a new one and me the old one. Well I waited till about 11pm that night to see his new ride and show him how much I appreciated him giving me the old one, but fell asleep only to be woken up at midnight.

The sound I woke up to did'nt sound like a new Bronco, but what the hell it was 12 and I went to the door to meet him in my pj's. When I opened the door he was grinning and said "whatcha think bout my new ride". I could'nt see it because the 78 sat so tall in the driveway. On my way round the 78 he said " we'll I lied bout my new ride, but I though you'd like this a little better than that old Bronco". There sat my 70 MACH 1 behind the Bronco, my favorite color too. So there I was smiling ear to ear in my pj's at midnight in the driveway. Damm even after all these years it makes me grin to think about it.

I'm like i dunno lets find out...I immediatly floor it, i had 4 people in the car at the time but it still felt fast to me, I didn't realize ho wmuch braking room I would need for the stop sign so I started to brake, and I had to step on the brake, I was like 10 feet passed the stop sign smoke flying everywhere from the tires...O god that scared me, and at the same time it kicked ***...I don't torture her like that nemore tho.lol everyone in the car was shitting their pants, I was laughing so damn hard.

My first memory in a stang is when I was about 7 and I was riding in the back seat of my grandfather's 67 GT convertible. I was staring straight up on a clear night and saw my first shooting star. It was soooo cool

My first memory was when I purchased my first Mustang. I did not know how to drive a 5-speed so I had someone else test drive the car for me. I did not know how to drive, but I did know how to negotiate! It was the middle of January in Wisconsin, so the dealer could not sell the car. The stang was a 1989 Gt, Black loaded with 41000 miles. I bought it in January 1992 for only $7000.00. I had someone else drive it home for me. The nexy day I had to go to work, in a mild snowstorm, with no 5-speed ability. I killed the car 27 times, but I made it. Then I killed it at least 27 more times on the way home!! After a couple weeks I had the hang of it and am proud to report I pulled 96000 miles out of the original clutch, racing and all! I was hooked with my first pony and I have owned four more since. A 1991 GT, 1993 Cobra, 1994 Cobra and 1998 Cobra. My next Stang is a 98 Saleen s351. I want that bad!!! IN time In time!!

6T9PONY · 12-20-2001, 10:07 PM

The Saleen S351's are awesome. I'd love to have one of though. But I'm gonna stick to my classics. After I'm done with my fastback, I'm going to by a '69 coupe to build as a drag racer. 11s naturally aspirated is my goal. I'm thinking maybe 408 stroker from Indy Mustang Performance, and a 4-spd combo.

MustangMouse · 12-21-2001, 07:33 PM

Well......I had a crappy 1981 four banger back in 1989...........
I was senior in high school.......My stang sucked but I loved it.......
It was fugly orange, and not in perfect shape..........
It died on me many times, had a bad accident in it......Then fought the insurance company to keep it.........
It must have been love of some sort cause I got two ponies now...........
