Well, I have not been able to talk on my web site nearly as often as I had expected, owing to how much I’ve been helping my old man fuel his incredibly wacky midlife crisis. Okay, I suppose it isn’t as far gone as it might be. The thing is, how he did it was he dressed up like the Fonz, and storm over to my crib and casually inform me, in his hippest possible vocal tone: “Get in, boy, you and I are going shopping for some classic Ford Mustangs for sale. You better believe it, brother, I intend to get myself a real cruiser.”

So next the two of us were hopping around to a few of those creepy classic car sales lots that most people are mostly convinced are mob-run, and I can’t believe it when the dude wrote a check on the spot, for a very well-preserved classic car. I mean, it really is quite piece of machinery. It sounded great too.

Notice that I phrased that last sentence in a past tense. It sounded really nice right up until it stopped making any noises. Dad says that it’s just a simple problem and he just needs to find the right part. Of course, it can’t possibly be as painless to locate 1966 Mustang parts as it was over a million years ago, but my Dad informs me there’s a pretty big market for them in spite of their age. the the easiest way to find parts for 1968 Mustangs is actually internet auctions, since you can find them all refurbished and occasionally better than new. They’re only sometimes available for a nominal fee, however… Think about it, we’re talking about half-century old automotive parts.

Could be worse, though… He could’ve decided to buy a toupee.
