tony356 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 For those of you that have followed my story regarding the frustration of waiting for the car through delivery and my drive home I thought you might enjoy this. The local Valley Forge Mustang Club asked me in November to write a little story about the GT350. At first I hesitated as I am not a very proficient writer. After a day or two I decided to give it a go. About the time the club was going to run my article was when my car was rear ended. They contacted me and asked me if they should still run the story, I said absolutely. After the story was sent to the local MCA members, I was asked by the club president (Robert Parsons) if it would be OK if he submitted the article to the Mustang Club of America. He did not think it would get published but thought he would give it a shot. To my surprise when I opened my current edition of Mustang Times, they was a centerfold picture of my GT350 that I took while my daughter and I parked on the upper level of the Hoover Dam parking garage. Over the next few pages, they re-printed my story (saga) of acquiring my GT350. The biggest joy of all was seeing that they printed a picture of Amelia and I at SA standing next to the car. My daughter now thinks she is famous - pretty cool dad eh? The story and the history of this car continues.......... If you are an MCA member, check out your newest magazine from the club. They did a nice job (except for credited the story to the club president - oops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350GT'12 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 As bad as this accident was for you, it is turning into a pretty awesome story in the end. You will be talking about this to your grandchildren as they grow up. Are you giving any thought to getting a GT 350 convertible? I know you are getting a Boss (I think), so that might be one car too many.... Would be cool for you to add one more 350 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure the boss would go for 4 stangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom4U Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 LOL you live in Florida! These cars do look nice by the water. Great picture. I know I don't see the beach unless I travel to the Bahamas or some other Caribbean Island. Now that I have the GT350 I might throw on the thong and head down to the beach. Ouch what an ugly sight that would be. Hopefully the car will be a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
