Midlife Crisis Alert: Actually Purchasing A Classic Mustang
I really have not gotten to talk on the web site nearly as often as I would’ve liked, because of the fact that I’ve been roped into helping my pops manage his wild & crazy midlife crisis. Well, I guess it’s not quite as nuts as it could possibly be. Basically what he did was he dressed up like fonzie, and come over to my house and tell me, in his “coolest” tone of voice: “Hop in, dude, we’re out shopping for some classic Ford Mustang Sales. You heard that right, brother, I intend to get myself a real cruiser.”
So next my Dad and I were off to a few of those wild vintage car places that everybody is pretty much sure are not quite on the up and up, and I stare in wonder the dude cut a check on the spot, for an extremely shiny classic Ford automobile. I mean, it really is quite machine. It had a great sound too.
You’ll notice I said about that sound in the past tense. It had a great sound until it stopped making any noises. The old man says that it’s a easy thing to fix and he just needs to find the right part. Only thing is, it can’t possibly be as easy to find 1969 Mustang parts as it was over a million years ago, but Dad informs me there is a really sizable aftermarket for them to this day. It seems like the nicest way to buy parts for 1968 Mustangs is via online auctions, because you can get them refurbbed and sometimes as good as they were 30 years ago. They’re not necessarily available for a nominal fee, though… Get real, they are 30-year-old automobile parts.
I suppose it could’ve been worse. He might have decided to buy a mail-order bride.
