This car is finally paying me back. I've pushed it as hard as it would go for 5 years. Now, now that it's emissions time, it's failed 3 times. That's okay though. This is the car I get to talk about like so many 'Nam vets I heard growing up. This was my brand new Mustang they all spent their deployment money on. That's how I got that car, after 7 months in the desert I returned to CONUS and 2 weeks later walked into the dealership with $20,000 in cash (iers check. the bank wouldn't let me walk with 20k) I went looking and found her.1 test drive later I gave them most of my money they gave me a car with close to 300hp.
accomplishments in that car.
Slept in it.
Phoenix to Las Vegas in under 5 hours to meet a girl for the weekend. then Las Vegas to Phoenix still under 5 hours and hung over +one unpaid speeding ticket. (averaged over 100 mph the whole way)
142 mph on a dirt road.
Flagstaff AZ- Sedona AZ down a forest road and then down the red rocks where they have the pink jeep tours (boy were a lot of those people sour for paying so much on an off-road adventure to see a 4 door sports car cruise passed)
only had sex in it one time. It's a sports car, the back doors and back seat are more of a suggestion than reality.
Rallied it in Tucson on the regular, Phoenix, Glendale, Prescott, Flagstaff, Moab, and the Rocky Mountains. The mountains taught me I needed a truck to go off road in Colorado.
Ever since I was little I have been into rally racing, this car offered me a chance to live my dream. I may not have been sponsored or entered into an actual race, but that doesn't mean I never took it on some official rally roads driving next to dirt cliffs at 80+ mph. or encounter crazy situations like a heard of lost cows in the AZ desert blocking the road. I slipped, spun, and jumped that car. It's seen snow, ice, rain, rivers, and a whole lot of mud.
It's time to sell, time to move on and adapt. I'm no longer driving multiple hours across the Arizona desert with people who think 15 over is where the speed limit starts. I drive in slow hum drum Boulder where people are too lost on their cell phone or weed smoke to reach a speed limit.
This is sad but I am happy. The car is passed her prime, I used the shit out of her and had every major event in the last 6 years of my life while driving her. Other peoples "dream car'
But, back to metal. I'm going to buy a late 80's Blazer and invest some of the money I make off my sell into it. It will also give me the extra cash to support a new Bicycling habit I intend to start. So in a way this isn't a goodbye. My car will live on in my new vehicle and there will always be pictures to show whos ever in my life in ten- twenty years.
That's it. young, dumb, bad investor and a Marine that just made it back from a combat deployment during a major war. dropped a ton of money on a fast car and never regretted a second of it
