I remember in high school seeing a poster with of a red 1990 GT and thinking someday I'd buy one. In July of 1995 while looking for a foxbody GT I stumbled upon this beauty. The original owner had just traded her in on a new mustang. The salesman took me for a ride because I didn't know how to drive a stick shift... I bought the car and he had to drive it back to my house...200 miles away.
She is my daily driver and the only car I've ever owned...that's right! She's had a few mods over the years (some good and some not so good) but I love her dearly and look forward to many more great years.

I used to do a little drag racing at a local track but had to stop that. I broke down a couple of times and would have to pay to have it towed then get a rental car..before I knew it those little fun trips were costing me a fortune.
She's been a wonderful car. I'm now fixing little things here and there that need some attention. Folks are always saying how awesome the car looks or asking if I'd sell it to them. I joke that the car is my coffin.
