Author: So I have not been able to post on the web site half as often as I would’ve liked, owing to all the time I’ve been running around town with my Dad manage his super nutball midlife crisis. Okay, some would argue it isn’t as crazy as it could be. Basically how he showed up was to go and dress himself up like fonzie, and come on over to my place and casually inform me, in his hippest possible vocal tone: “Hop in, boy, we’re going cruising for some classic Mustangs. That’s right, dude, I’m totally set to make this thing happen.”
And so my Dad and I went out to all of those crazy vintage car places that I’m always mostly certain the mob owns and operates, and I am just awed my dad cut a check right there on the spot, for an extremely shiny classic car. It really is an intense piece of machinery. It sounded amazing as well.
Notice that I phrased about that sound in a past tense. It sounded perfect until it became silent. Dad says that it’s just a quick fix and that all he requires is the right part. Of course, it may not be as painless to find 1966 Mustang parts as it was over three decades years ago, but the old man swears there is a pretty big market for them regardless. From what I’m told the the easiest way to find parts for classic Mustangs is via web auctions, because you can find them refurbished and sometimes even brand new. They might not be super-cheap, though… Get real, we’re talking about ancient car parts.
I suppose it could’ve been worse. He might have gone and found a big tattoo or something.
