Hehe...Rip, I know he wasn't, but at the time, he got the message across.
Yep, still have the Pony.
When I took my wife back to meet my folks, I took her out to the barn and showed her the hay loft, and after that showed her my old man's Chevy and the Mustang.
So back up at the house during dinner, she commented on how much she liked the Mustang because she had one in high school (not the classic kind, but the crappy late 70's kind).
So when we got engaged, my folks drove it to Boston and gave it to her as a wedding present. When I saw that, I asked why she couldn't have said she liked the Bel-Air!
