Those first two links didn't work well for me, so I found this one.

Same story, just a different hosting source.

"My wife and I have succeeded, we've raised productive adults, it's the strongest, most powerful feeling that a parent can have."
I wish all parents shared this ethos.

My Dad owned a 1957 T-Bird when he and Mom got married in 1964. He had to sell it to get the money to put a down payment on their first house.  Ever since the time I was about 10 or 12 I said to myself I was going to buy that car back for him one day.  Well that day came in 2006!  I actually owned a restoration shop at the time and we restored the car and gave it to him in 2007!!  He drove the hell out of it for about seven years before he gave it to me because he ran out of garage space.  I let him drive it whenever he wants to!!

That's a nice white GT.  I had the same 89 white GT coupe when I was 20.  It was my first performance car.   Good times.
