This is the first time I have joined a group or a board based on something that I own - but I guess you all understand how a T-Bird can make that happen.
It started with a crazy whim over lunch in a diner ... my daughter needed a new car, and we were thinking of maybe a new Beetle or a PT Cruiser, but we saw a T-Bird moving out of the parking lot, and the rest was history. We checked the net for dealer inventory, and made it to a local place just after a blue premium full-accent came off the transporter. We bought it on the spot - well, actually after a theatrical walk-out when they asked for a $5k ADM. They caved real fast and settled for sticker. (This was back in June.)
My daughter was crazy about the car and we loved it too - we were jealous. I was walking around thinking, man, that's the nicest car I ever bought and I gave it away! We lasted a month and then found a red premium black-accent for ourselves.
I'm amazed at the goodwill the car generates. Driving it is fun in every way.
The blue one was delivered in perfect condition. The red one has a couple of little faults, but the feel-good thing has made me surprisingly uncritical. And it made me do something I haven't done since the very first car I ever owned - rush out and buy waxes and cleaners and cotton towels.
