Tooling around in a family friend’s 64 1/2 red Mustang convertible while they were out of the country.

In some ways the high point of my existence - you never had to drive around by yourself in the thing unless you really wanted to. Strangers would walk up and offer many thousands of dollars for it. When he got back the owner told me I should have taken the money but he never sold it.

Thanks for the memories...
