[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 10634085, member: 50367"] I still remember the car that got me hooked on Mustangs. It was a used maroon 1989 5.0 5-speed. My father and older brother was taking it for a test drive and I was able to ride along in the back seat. I was 10 and soon after the test drive I went home and started day dreaming about the car I was going to buy for my first car. Happy to say I bought exactly what I sat out for. A red 90 GT 5-speed and started in on the bolt-ons. I later stepped up to a canary yellow 95 GT 5-speed when I needed a more "civilized" mustang. Then after graduating high school it was time to step up to a electric green 99 cobra. The mods got out of hand with that car and so I bought a True blue 02 Lightning for a DD shortly after getting married. Some downsizing happened at my job and I had an offer by someone to buy my Money Pit of the Cobra. So for the first time in my driving life I was Mustangless!!! Even though the Lightning was close it still wasn't my Pony car.
