along with the 1997 Intrepid. The Stang is mine and the vette is hubby's. He got them real cheap (under $4000.00 for both) and fixed them up.

SINCE 1965
OK, so now I really feel old. I started with a manual typewriter and used a tape recorder, forward, stop, reverse, forward, stop, reverse. Oh my, how long ago that now seems. No foot pedal, no headset, no electricity, just sat at the kitchen table (I worked this part time at home and full time in an office) and worked half the night.
In retrospect, though, we old timers really learned our skills and have never forgotten them.
Should be 1965. nm

From 1965 to 1972. sm
It probably has been Atlanta-fied. I haven't been back in a long time. I was young and probably would have been happy anywhere. Sorry to hear that you are unhappy there. It used to be a nice city, at least in my opinion.
I learned in a hospital in 1965 (sm)
Believe it or not, there was no spell check back then, no QA - just a supervisor who hired me because I spelled "toxicology" right. It was the only medical word in the test. I'm not kidding. I "learned as I went." I have been doing this now for 30+ years. My work very rarely has medical spelling errors in it now. These newbies nowadays really have it pretty easy, IMO, what with autocorrect and all. We didn't even have shorthand, or anything like that. (I'm 59)

Well, the mustangs in the corral always have food, water, and shelter from the weather. Guess you should look at it that way. 
I think I have you beat! I have a 65 Mustang
coupe in my garage, all original. My husband bought it 2 years ago for 1200.00, cleaned it up, put the original color on it. Runs like a top, still the original tires. Had it appraised for $15,000.00. Can't beat that. It sits next to his 79 corvette. Mine's purtier, though.
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm

65 Mustang..you found MINE???
Awwwwwwwwwwww. those were the days...my 65 tang was a rag top, cruising the local burger joints with the curbside service , checkin out who was there, who was with who and who should'nt be with who , getting all the dirt for the next week of school....mine was gold with a black top, 3 speed and I miss it soooooooooo much if i remember correctly, we could dig for small change, say 4 quarters and a few dimes to fill the tank enough back then also, to get where we needed to go

Since you mentioned Ford, I have a 2005
and so far, I love it! I really can't think of too much that I don't like about it, other than wishing I had gotten a few options that I didn't think I would need until after the fact. We actually went to the dealership looking for an Escape, but it was just too small for us. My 12-yo could barely fit in the back seat, so I knew he'd grow out of it too quickly, and we do drive some long distances in our vehicles so comfort is of the utmost importance.
It runs well and seats 5 comfortably and also has another back seat that seats 3 more, though we haven't used that much except for adults, only for kids (one 12-yo) and they are comfy back there -- there are actually wells that go under the front seats to provide additional foot room and never had any complaints so far. It's my first 4x4 and I'm loving that in the snow. I also like that it maneuvers very well in parking lots. It has a real tight steering range and I can get out of just about any parking space even if it's crowded.
I have known a lot of people how had problem with Fords, but we decided to go for it because we got it when they were offering employee pricing plus a $4,000 rebate. Just couldn't beat the price! I think Ford fixed a few of the bugs from the earlier models with the 2005 and up, namely the addition of the stability control, which provides better stability and traction to prevent rollovers.
I've owned a lot of GM vehicles before this and I had trouble with every single one. I had a Dodge Caravan prior to my Explorer and I loved it. Never had a problem with it and had it for 5-1/2 years. If Dodge had been offering the pricing discounts, we probably would've opted for a Durango, but I have to say that I am extremely happy so far with my Explorer, though I have only had it for about 9 months now.

1972 Ford Pinto.
So if I work for Ford, I should not post that on

Barely passed typing (except for timed speed) and I absolutely, totally 100% hated typing class.
I excelled in accounting, but can barely balance my own checkbook. Weird how things turn out.
I'll let you off the hook since you're also a Mustang lover.
I just like the '67s and '68s better because they're a little bigger and more rounded in the body style than the earlier years. I dreamt of owning a Mustang for 20 years before I got one.
We gave DH a new Ford ZX2 for her 16th birthday,
and then the next year got her a new Mustang for high school graduation. She used the Mustang throughout college and just sold it several months ago.
I felt better with her driving a new car in mint condition than an old clunker, especially since she was at school hundreds of miles away with no one to help her if she had car trouble.
Definitely NOT my first car, a used 1974 pea green Ford Pinto.

1967 blue metal flake mustang.... for my 16th BD from my dad... nm

Kevin Costner. I forgot about him. Harrison Ford.
During their heyday I loved them both. Harrison Ford in interviews was so charming and so cute. He is aging pretty well. Haven't heard much from Kevin Costner. Both are cute and charming but not necessarily handsome in the traditional way.
Used to own a Suburban, loved that truck. Have ridden in Ford trucks and SUVs
ཽ Mustang, pine green metal flake, black roof. Got it used from my dad. High school. nm
