That was a great looking car- white body, black top, black bra, black trunk rack. *sigh*
I think most folks learned on a manual back in the day, Honda Mini Trails and an ancient Massey Ferguson tractor when I was about 11 or 12, some where along the way Dad let me drive a 58 Buick he had when I could barely reach the pedals. He had also taken me on a ride on a neighbors Harley when I was about 3, hook was set and he was in deep s**t with Mom for quite awhile.
That generation Mustang are my favorite, bad azz, period. Mine may get set up for more drag racing if I don't reboot the bike program.
