I really haven’t had any time to speak on the site nearly as much as I had expected, because of how much I have been running around town with Dad with his wild & crazy midlife crisis. Well, you might think it’s not as far gone as it could be. How it went, I mean the way he played it out was to get himself dressed up like he was Fonzie or something, and come on over to my place and casually inform me, in his jazziest possible vocal tone: “Get in, son, we’re going to be shopping for some classic Mustang sales. You better believe it, dude, it’s about time I get myself a real cruiser.”

Right then and there my Dad and I went out to a few of those wild vintage car lots that I’m pretty much convinced the mob owns and operates, and I can’t believe it when the crazy old guy wrote a check within just a few minutes, for a very shiny classic mustang. I mean, it really is an impressive purchase. It made some great noise too.

I want to point out that I wrote about that sound in a past tense. It sounded amazing right until it totally broke down. My pops maintains that it’s a quick problem and that all he requires is the right part. Of course, it can’t possibly be as straightforward to find 1966 Mustang parts as it was over a million years ago, but the old man insists that there is a really sizable market for them to this day. From what I’m told the surest way to get you parts for classic Mustangs is by way of online auctions, since you can find them refurbished and often even brand new. They’re not necessarily a steal, though… Get real, these are ancient automobile parts.

I suppose it could’ve been worse. He could have bought a volkswagen bus.
