Car Fans Gather to Celebrate Mustang's 40th AnniversaryMy, my, my - I AM getting old! I remember when I wanted a pink Mustang! Thankfully, that never happened.
I did, however, own a '74 Mustang. Not pink!

LOL - that's the one! Fortunately, it never happened. My '74 was metallic brown.
I had owned a chocolate-brown '70 Truimph GT-6 that was chocolate-brown, with a mustard racing stripe. Hubby totalled his car, took over Triumph. It was too small for him. '74 Mustang was his peace offering.
After he wrecked the Mustang, I drove a stupid Mercury.
Eventually, I owned a brand new 280-Z, which I drove til the wheels fell off.
I now own a 5-speed Cougar, my second Cougar, both of which have been GREAT!
LOL - now my friends accuse me of entering a second childhood! I'll tell you this - I'll own a 5-speed til the day I die, or they quit making them!
Hopefully, I'll die first! LOL

I have a 90 LX 5.0 with a 5 speed. It has 81k miles on it. Bought the car in Phoenix 4 years ago. Shocks and struts are leaking. I am going to re-do the suspension this summer. I am going to put in Tokico shocks/ struts and BBK rear control arms. 5.0 Mustangs give you a lot of bang for the buck!

Nice...
My best friend popped by today in his mint condition 1975 Mercedes 280SL convertible. He got out and and we shot the breeze for a bit, until we realized we had no beer. He wanted me to the liquor store with him, but I said in my best Estelle Costanza voice "I won't ride in a German Car".
As he threw me the keys, I said "I didn't say anything about driving a German Car..."
Sweet ride, but what's up with the HUGE steering wheel?

I have always wondered about the big steering wheels, too. I drove a 74 450 SLC once. Sweet car but it still had an automatic transsion. Would be a truly awesome car with a 5 speed.

Yeah, the one I drove yesterday was an auto too. Not the smoothest shifting tranny, but it is almost 30 years old.
