Garage
I had a DD `96 Mustang for 11 years and liked it. Dk Blue, tint glass, rear spoiler. Bought it new. I wanted all show/no go and got a 6C / 5 spd for gas mileage and I was pretty happy about that when gas went to $4-5/gal.

As far as being an "old fart in his antique car" goes, I realized a secret my dad had learned and I got to a place where I didn't care what other people think. It is very liberating. You should see the faces of the people on the up escalator when while on the down escalator I say "AFLAC" in my best duck voice right after we pass by. They look around and I chuckle (usually they will chuckle as well). My wife gets embarrassed and chides me to behave with the "what will they think?" speech. Don't know, don't care. I don't know them or them, me. I'll never see them again. Life is too short to not have fun. Hey, if you buy a new sports car you'll still wonder if they think "mid-life crisis" or "second childhood".

So I say drive whatever makes you happy and laugh at the rest of the world. Besides, they should be more worried about what you think about them... Carpe Diem
