Suweet! I like the color. Definitely cooler than a Cherokee. (No offense)

Did he get to drive it to school today?  How cool is that?  Here is my 2007 that I bought myself as a retirement gift.

Both are very nice looking 'Stangs.  My wife went through a "Mustang era" (think she had three or four of them all together '96-'03), that 3.8L V6 is a great motor.  Surprising power and torque, would still put a grin on your face!

Just drove to school today.  He made it just fine.

Its exciting (and a bit nerve wracking) to watch them go off on their own.  He's been driving for 18 mos. already on his learners permit, and will have his school only permit for another 6 mos., so we're hoping all that time behind the wheel pays off.

Well let's hope so, though it sounds awful strict ...? But seriously, I think it's for the best that states are tightening up a lil on the licensing process. Way too many bad drivers out there.

Sounds like your boy has his head screwed on fairly straight Doran, he'll be allright. Just remind him to look out for the other guy.

Is that really still the venerable 3.8 liter? I had an '86 LX that needed a lil head work initially but ran great afterward. Put a crapload of miles on it.

Well, its a 3.8L V6...so I'm gonna say yes?

Supposed to be a rock solid powerplant & transmission.

Iowa has a very graduated drivers license...and yes, I'm perfectly ok with that!

Heck of a nice first car! I had to buy my own 1963 Chev Impala and spent a whopping 200.00 for it. Needed a lot of attention but that was in 1974 dollars.
Great parents for helping the kid out.
