Mustang

I've wanted a classic Mustang for years, but really got the bug this past June while we were vacationing in Napa and I saw one for sale while I was out for a run.  I couldn't get the Napa car out of my head, and even flew back up to test drive it in late August.  Ultimately I passed, but didn't stop my search.

In September I was out looking at a local Mustang shop when I met a 20-something Russian kid who was interested in helping me restore a car.  In fact he already had one in mind.  I spent the last four months picking, tires, colors, interiors, audio, and waiting impatiently for the finished product.  As with most things of this nature, there were some bumps in the road, but I'm really happy with the result.

What a mess
Really?

Decided to go with the two-tone blue

That's awesome! Glad your search is over and I hope Blaire gets to ride your wheels some day! How fun for her!

I'm totally jealous! I've always wanted a mustang and I've always been mad at my dad because he got rid of his before I existed. It looks awesome!
