This was my first car - 1968 Mustang convertible. Of all the cars I've had, this is still my favorite by far. It was fast and powerful (more so than a 16-year-old girl had any business driving!) and so much fun to drive! When I went to college I wasn't allowed to take the Mustang with me and while I was home for Christmas after my first quarter we traded it in on a Datsun B210 Hatchback. I cried. The Datsun was a good car and it served me well, but it just wasn't the Mustang. There have been others, and I've driven each of them fast and hard and many, many miles; only getting a new car (or a new, used car) when the current one has nothing left to give. Every one has been a standard (anyone who's ever ridden in an automatic with me will concur that I'm dangerous in one as I keep trying to push in the clutch that isn't there!) and every one has had qualities I liked. However, given the chance to have my '68 Mustang back, I'd take it!
