    . Roll call

    You know it's funny, Marty, we were talking about that... Mine are insured such that he must be 25 to drive (except for the '70 Mach), so I think he's done with Mustangs for the winter. He recently bought himself a 4-Runner as well... This makes three '68's he's wrecked... All relatively...

    ...I can only laugh, because its been twice now that I've rolled up on TJ to find police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, car crashes.... while remembering how he used to play with his Matchbox and Hotwheels cars with (you guessed it) "police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and car crashes"...

    ....I was thinking instead, of sitting him down with his uncle Joe! ;-)

    . Roll call

    Down goes another!... ...and yet another reminder that no matter how defensive our driving, things happen! This time, TJ was driving his clone on one of its final sorties before the coming winter when a woman in an SUV full of young kids pulled from a blind driveway into his path. There were...

    ...Nah Sarge, Do the paint! For AC, roll the windows down and increase speed! That way, you'll look, sound and feel "cool" all at the same time! ;-)

    Oh, I think we're getting along... Just responding to our terminals (and not in person) as usual. No worries here.... as "matter of conscience" ;-)

    ...Gosh, and not to mention all the ethnic jokes I spent so many years remembering that we can't repeat... What a thread this has turned out to be! ;-)

    . Roll call

    ...Good call! We had it towed to our body shop for estimates and ins. adjuster to look at yesterday. We'll be better equipped for some final decisions soon. If we buy it back for parting, we'd be glad to see about getting you that roof. :-)

    . Roll call

    ...Yes, Marty and if it were a Special, we would certainly make the attempt. It's just a 'C' coupe that we already put a lot of work and $$ into and was one he was going to sell with the recent purchase of his CS clone. He had two buyers for this one lined up... It didn't look bad to me...

    Scratch one Mustang! My son TJ was doing about 30 mph on a narrow street when a large herd of deer ran out front. He hit the ass end of a big buck, then swerved to miss the others and plowed into a rock. The impact rolled the rock under the car and destroyed the subframe, radiator and...

    1968 Carroll Shelby autograph

    ...Here in town, we have Chuck Yeager and Clarence "Bud" Anderson. For years, I've been doing pencil sketches of their planes, having them sign then donating to various raffles and warbird pilots for our airshows. I attended a Flying Tigers reunion some years back and did (quick) P-40 sketch...

    ...Wow! That's profound!! Can I have your autograph? A postcard from Australia will do! ;-) ;-)

    1968 Carroll Shelby autograph

    In a word, Yes. He will remain a legendary icon for generations to come. I have a chrome air cleaner top he signed that came on my S-code 4-spd. 'Not sure whether to leave it on the car or replace and preserve it...

    . a matter of conscience

    ...With implied exception to mine, I consider all of the responses here as reasonable and respectful by folks who have made more than their share of contributions. No need to lock this thread. And although we're primarily about "Mustangs", many friendships have kindered well beyond...
