    I went to a cruise-in last night.

    I took my 66 fastback to the local cruise-in. A young man in college at TX State was conversing with me about cars.  He told me he was really glad I brought my car because he had NEVER SEEN IN PERSON a 66 fastback.  He said he was born in 2000 and had a 2012 Mustang GT. So his car is 12 years younger than he is.  My fastback is 11 years younger than I am. Hope he has a good long relationship with his GT.
    This year marks 30 years I have owned my fastback. Are we getting old, or what?




    The AC Cobra was at a show I went to today.

    MS - to answer your question, yes we are getting older ... however, it beats the alternative!
