:D


With my son's due date being next week, I drove my mustang up to PA on Tuesday and traded it in on a Big Boy car.

That's what my wife drives... she absolutely loves it! I told her she needs to trade it in on a new one but she loves the one she has and is happy with it so more power to her I guess. I was talking to a mechanic about them and he said it is not uncommon to see them last over 400,000 miles if you take care of them. That's a pretty impressive statement by all means.

Nice car bro... I have 2 boys, but they are already driving! Scary how fast they grow up. Good luck with with both!

Sad to give up the Mustang, but the TL's are a nice sporty 4-door. :tu

You think you're growing up when becoming a dad but in reality it's quite the opposite - you just become better at hiding it.. Pranking mom with flushing the toilet while she's in the shower is much more fun when you got your son helping you.. hehehe. Congratulations!

And you haven't given up adventure... being a dad is quite the rush!

Looks good GT, how did they feel about all the mods done to the car? Or did you strip it down?

Nice pick man. I actually like that better than a mustang. You got one of the older ones too - before that hideous monolith of a grill that acura has on everything now.

I took all the nitrous stuff off the car before i took it up there. I will be selling that stuff soon.

this car has been great so far. I got home on 3/4 of a tank (28.49 MPG):banger

and it has just as much HP as the GT did n/a.

Fast cars to fast kids. You'll never keep up. OK, maybe for a couple years, but then...

It's just a new adventure. A great adventure. And, you can teach them things that they will hopefully carry on - care modification, how to properly enjoy a cigar, fishing, etc...

Peace of the Lord be with you.

it's a sure thing that that won't happen in this household. My brother got one and we make fun of him for it all the time.
