hello,

I was the owner of 7 mustangs during the course of the last 41 years. Yesterday, I decided to try something different and I sold my Mustang Gt and bought a 2005 LS2, Vette, Silver, with the Hud, and the Navi, with 32K miles.

So, I hope this is a friendly bunch cause I think I am going to have a lot of dumb questions for ya !!

But first let me buy a round for the house !!

Just goes to prove the old adage- With age comes Wisdom.

You the kind of guy that offers to buy an imaginary round for the Bar but when at a Bar you have alligator arms?

I was looking at 1967 Bullitt Mustangs when I decided to get my 2006 C6 instead since the old Mustangs were getting so expensive.
