My dad kept it for two years and then got a '52 Fairlane (I think it was). That's the one I learned to drive in. Thanks for encouraging me to finish it up. I'll work on it.Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-42434007115935148362017-04-30T09:18:38.520-07:002017-04-30T09:18:38.520-07:00Where do you go to get that kind of MPH?

But, prior to heading back for my second adventure in SE Asia, I traded it in for something more 'practical" (spit) to let the new wife drive while I was gone. Said wife became my "ex" and I was too broke to chase down a new Mustang.

It's the one that I had when I started dating the lovely missus all those many years ago. I'd dearly love to get another, but here in the Northeast it would need to be kept in a garage during the winter months and the wife is not very likely to park her car outside to give me her space.
