Gorgeous. Amazing to remember what American styling used to be capable of. Set me to remembering my first car, a 1967 Mustang, which I bought used with a rebuilt engine in 1976. It was exactly this model and color...

My younger self likewise wriggled into a few tight spots in pursuit of a teenage quickie.

www.vintagecorvettes.com/1963white.html This is pretty much what my first car looked like. White with red interior. 340 327 engine with AFB (Aluminum Four Barrel), close ratio 4 speed with 4.11 rear end. When you ordered that engine, the only options other than interior and exterior color + rear end ratio was AM/FM radio. AC, power doors, windows, brakes, etc. etc. were not offered. The top went up and down manually but was easy to do. The biggest problem I had was that tires of that era were not what they are today. With that much horsepower, even with Positraction (limited slip differential), one went through tires all too often. In spite of being young and dumb (as opposed to old and dumb) I never got a ticket while owning that car. Yes, I went very fast and did a lot of highway driving. I got stopped a lot because the various police and deputies wanted to look at the car up close but they never wrote me a ticket. At 88 MPH (4,000 RPM) it got 17 MPG on high test. At 90 it got 12. The easy conclusion is that two barrels were open at 88 and the other two opened any faster. Once during a closed section of highway I got it up to 142. Scary to think back doing that on those tires. I enjoyed owning and driving this car but my insurance pretty soon started up to astronomical numbers and the last price quoted was basically equal to buying a new car every year. Even though I was not getting tickets, this was the price of being under 25, single and driving a "fast" car. Best regards, RA1

Sister Ann speaks gospel truth about that! Trouble was, try anything in the front seats and we'd lose something else to that damned stick shift.

Having been in the back seat of more than a few Mustangs in my day, one being my own teal colored 67 fastback, Mr Smith will testify, that one had to be Houdini to even sit back there, much less lose ones virginity.

Hello all I'm brand new to the forum but have enjoyed reading it. I am thinking about making a trip to Brazil...and I have appreciated all of the for first timer posts watchouts and warnings. I did have a question. How are the saunas and boys for those of us that might be a little thicker around the waist? I am 33, 5'7 and about 220 lbs with a hairy chest. Can people like me have fun there? Do the guys charge differently based on body type? I havent had trouble in the sex department by any means and I am confident enough in myself that I really don't give a fuck, but hell if I'm gonna pay for it make enjoy a place I want to feel good and not cheated. Am I making sense?

So one might imagine. In the day, however, I think I could have managed a quickie and half a ciggie ere the bunghole touched the foam.

I would gladly buy back the car I had then, especially at the new car price ($4400). It had plenty of deficiencies, some of them simply products of the time, but I obviously enjoyed it. Best regards, RA1

I won't say anything if you won't.

You're Sybil to? Damn, I guess the Mustang thing just kind of outed us.

P.S. In the spirit of recent outings here, is it time to let the board know that you and I are really the same poster?

If I only knew. I would never have sold that car.
