Midlife Crisis Alert: Actually Purchasing A Classic Ford Mustang
So I haven’t much had time to talk on the weblog quite as much as I had expected, on account of how much I have been roped into helping my pops fuel his wet & wild midlife crisis. Well, I guess it’s not as crazy as it might be. Basically how he showed up was he got all done up like the Fonz, and come over to my place and tell me, in his “coolest” dialect: “Hop in, dude, we are gonna start vying for some classic Ford Mustang Sales. You got it, dude, it’s about time I buy one.”
Right then and there the two of us were off to a couple of those creepy classic car lots that I’m always just about convinced are mob-run, and I see the dude cut a check within just a few minutes, for an extremely shiny classic Ford Mustang. I have to admit, it’s quite purchase. It had a great sound as well.
I want to point out that I put that in the past tense. It sounded amazing right up until it rendered itself silent. My pops informs me that it is just a easy fix and all he needs is the right part. Only thing is, it’s not as painless to find 1968 Mustang parts as it was about a thousand years ago, but the old man insists that there’s a pretty sizable availability for them still. From what I’m told the nicest way to buy parts for 1965 Mustangs is actually online auctions, because you can find them rebuilt and occasionally as good as they were 30 years ago. They’re only sometimes cheap, though… Come on, man, these are 30-year-old automotive parts.
Not as bad as some midlife crises, I suppose. He might’ve bought a big tattoo or something.
