Down time

Sadly there is not much to say about my Mustang right now. Life has gotten a bit crazy so there hasn't been much done to it. There will probably be times like this with long stretches of nothingness on this blog. thats ok though. One of these days Mike is going to take me over the an empty parking lot and teach me how to drive the Mustang. I want to learn before it gets all restored so that maybe I will dare drive it all fixed up.

I had an interesting thought though. There is video footage of Mike driving the car around the neighborhood; it occured to me that he was driving the Mustang in its old stomping grounds. We were driving it a couple blocks away from Wesley road (Where it lived for awhile). I guaruntee it had been on a few (if not all) of the roads we drove it on... at one point in its life. Another fun thought, is that when I learn to drive it, I plan on going to the church on Wesley Road and using their parking lot to learn in. The Mustang will be right where it once called home. I think its fun that Mike and I live in the area and will have the opportunity to get pictures of it in front of its old house and just enjoy it in areas it knows well.

I know this is a blog about the restoration... but I just have to put a note in here about my daily driver Mustang. I got this mustang when my Saturn got totaled. The insurance paid me enough for the Saturn that I was able to buy my 1995 Mustang outright (only using $150 out of my own pocket). So in the time I have had this mustang... I Managed to crack the windsheild. I wasnt just driving along and had a rock flipped up at me like most cases... nope this had to be worse. all I was doing, was washing the car. apparently a cold garden hose on a hot day is enough to crack a windsheild. I didnt know that. So if anyone gets ambitious and decided to go out with a bucket of soapy water and a hose in the middle of the day... DONT DO IT! That is my word of advice to everyone. Anyways... just a warning... especially for you St. George people.
