How cool is this!!

[Tubo]

I was on my way back home, from two days of gawking, seein and being see on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Yup Cruising the Coast. I was pleased to meet among others, Don65Stang, hiz Wife(she didn't have her rifle) and three of their brood. Real nice folks butt by the time we got together I'd been Baking in the hot sun since morning and was ready to head home. I hope next time to able to spend more time hanging out.

Anywho like I said, "...I was on my way back home", convertible top down open to the wind and sun, 70-75-80 along Interstate 10. Just bout into Pensacola. Glanced into the rear view mirror, there was a Silver 07 or so Vette closing up behind me. Being the courteous driver I am(Hehheh) I eased into the right hand lane to let him by. Guess I'm also a bit of a car snob and wasn't going to look over and watch the Vette pass, however glance I did. The Vette driver was, Smiling BIG Nodding his head Yessss!! And giving a Big Thumbs Up!!!!!. "NICE STANG" He said several times. I was so flabbergasted that, Vete Driver was giving Big Cudos to an old Mustang, all I could muster was a ruefull Smile, "Thanks", more Smile and wave as he went by.

Spent the next several miles smiling to myself thinking "How Cool Was That!!" Must'a been mistaken identity from the Cobras Robert had put onto the Vert when it was his. Not bad at all for the Ole 73 Vert.

Have to mix a special blend right now. Think i was getting 5 miles per gallon over the weekend. May try another carburetor or electronic ignition. Eddie at Pro Street Customs does good work. It was worth the wait (4 yrs).
