They never recaptured "the magic". Like old wine in....never mind.   The Mustang automobile was a beautiful thing in its day, but that is a time gone by. Almost kind of like its wild namesake....

if I were a musclehead I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a cobra or shelby today...all the power, grace and style of the old cars...loaded with today's amenities.... I rent'em every now and again on travel....and was recently in a restored one....while I wouldn't mind having one of the old ones in a garage to sit and look at with a doppel spaten in my hand and walk down memory lane...if I were to drive across country in one...it would be the new one.
Muscle cars and motorcycles....yet another thing I won't get involved in until my children have families....no need to encourage that behaviour...whatta fuddy duddy..

No sorry, before Egypt I had a BMW but sold it before I went. In Egypt I take taxi's and I just pray a lot. Really you take your life in your hands every time you step off a pavement over there. Although I used to have a yellow MGB sportscar, it was such fun.

No I don't, maybe you better PM me what they say. I have had a Volvo estate or two but you have to when you have so many animals.
I can't imagine what anyone drives so I thought my list would be what people would drive in their hearts:
Grey - a unicorn
Wil - an eagle
17th - a dragon
Tao - a black hanovarian warmblood stallion
Flow - a white tiger
Q - a dinoseur
InLove - a dove
Snoopy - an orangutan
Pathless - an ostrich, just for the fun of it
BB - ram
Francis - dolphin
Cyberpi - polar bear
I have no idea why I think any of the above, they are just the animals I think of associated with the people.

Re: The car I think you drive
Hi MW...Salaam my dear.
White tiger eh ? Inspiring. Actually my first auto was a 1959 British Racing Green MGA coupe'. Loved that car. I even won a couple of road rallys whilst in college...pip, pip...tally ho !
Then I got married and first had a couple of VW bugs, then a variety of Fords, a couple of Audi sedans before they were considered chic, then more Fords, then a Chevy pickup, and now a used Saturn.
And you my dear I see you sitting astride a great snow-white swan (I almost wrote shark  ) and then just flying and swimming to wherever you wish, whenever you wish to, for I believe that is your nature.
Oh...and I'd so much enjoy seeing a lionfish astride an orangutan's shoulder, swinging from branch to branch in the tropics.
flow....

Have you ever read Toad of Toad Hall? I thought of it as soon as I read the above. I can see you with your scarf flapping in the wind.

OH my goodness you have me totally sussed. I would love to ride on a swan, can you imagine gliding across the water in peace and quiet, slowly but surely getting to a new horizon - I have goosebumps.

Re: The car I think you drive
MW...Salaam...
My favorite animated cartoon feature of all Time is The Wind in the Willows. Prof. Carl Jung called what we have going on here, "synchronicity". Yes Lord Toad of Toad Hall would suit me just fine !

Funny you should mention that. 1969 Challenger with a 344 under the hood, torque so strong the motor mounts would have to be changed out weekly, or else knock dents in the "bonnet" lol. It was my second car.

They are hanging on to them. My first car, which I ownd with my dad was a 1964(?) EH HOLDEN wagon. It had been garaged all its life and the original owner passed away it was put under cover for about 15years. The little old lady was moving into a retirement home and was selling everything. We bought it for $350. As I was only 15 dad drove it and then I moved out of home and I dont know what happened to the car. so sad. If i ever see another one for sale i'd buy it. now of course they are collectors items. aaaargh........

PTs run from $16,000.00 to $30,000.00 here. The increased cost is due to accutraments, not the basic model. And yes, I would put my teens in a safe car (with a little pazazz, good for the young ego).  But he had to pay me for it...so he took care of it (he's still driving it, 100,000 miles later).

Spot on Sal, I love orangutans.
Don't know what anyone might drive, especially since sometimes the same car has a different name in a different country. Am I dreaming or did I see reference to a VW Rabbit? What else is in the range...Hare? Gopher? Groundhog? Gerbil?!!!!

Aren't the cobras the ones that the spark plugs are so hard to change? {Like a major surgical operation?}
