I'm 16.

I learned to drive stick when I was 15 on a 1986 Jeep, then learned some more on a 1996 Mustang V6 (friends car).
This is my first 'Stang, but second Ford.

First car was a 1997 Thunderbird LX with the 4.6 V8 (16 Valve, 205 Horsepower). My grandfather blew the engine up one day after redlining it on a coldstart in the ice for a while. The intake manifold cracked completely in half and warped 2 of the cylinders. I somehow managed to drive it to the garage, where they replaced the manifold, got the 2 cylinders to fire, and said it's as good as new. A week later, my alternator went bad, my new manifold didn't fit the TBird and got warped, and the two cylinders stopped firing. Once again they repaired it and I sold it to a family member for 3000 dollars.

Saw the Mach at a dealership, looked at my grandpa and said "You owe me."

Drove home with it 4 days later
