The wife and I went up to Carlisle, PA last Saturday for the annual All Ford event. I entered Luci in the show field, not because I thought she had a snowball's chance of winning anything but because I'd heard parking around the fairgrounds was absolutely brutal, ten bucks to go off-roadin' onto somebody's front lawn and then a half mile trek to the gate, stuff like that. For a show field price of forty-five beans, on-site parking and two admissions to The Show seemed a good choice. It was.
Boy were there some money Ponies in attendance! The 2005-07 era was best represented, by about a three to one margin, so we spent a good half hour going up and down the rows of The Greatest Generation of Mustangs. I cannot get words to completely convey how deep my affection and love is for these cars. All I have to do is see one, out on the road, and I smile. I still don't know what exactly has gotten into me.
Met one of the guys I've corresponded with on the AllFordMustangs forum, who has what I think is THE premier tricked-out '05 V6 in the whole country. Good times. Then spent about another half hour at the K.A.R. tent talking with owner George Waydos...an Ohio native, just like my wife, a believer, and lover of all things Pony. I told him I'd be buying one his cars someday. A '67 or a '70. His prices are so reasonable, I can't refuse. We had terrific conversation. Great times.
Saw some absolutely gorgeous Old School Stangers, one of which is below. Man, if the '07 Shelbys get down close to sticker, I'm gonna be tempted to get one of those too...
I just love these cars. Just love 'em. They make my heart sing. They make everything groovy.
