But back to the upside down headders with flame throwers that make rings for Heather, while we now have a parallel thread about another couple developing....
BTW, STD, even though the car has been long gone with my Ex, the 69 Mach in my signature made Two Magazine covers, and a total of four articles! Now it collects dust in Indiana.....

I remember somewhere that you had some pics posted with your Mach on the cover of MI (or maybe it was MM, I forget). When I saw them, one pic made a little 
at my feeble memory; like maybe I had that particular magazine in my stack of stuff.
Still and all, it's Cheapie that sticks out in my mind; because it was in one of "her" articles that I first read about this forum.
Yeah, you guys, it's all Dan's fault that you're stuck with me
Anywhat..... SVTCobra306 (the car and/or the driver) doesn't have a cover pic that I know of - yet. However, the title for his one write-up does appear in the lower left-hand corner of the Feb "Mustang Enthusiast", and he/it/they have pages 76-78 inside. It would be interesting to see if it get re-visited after AJ gets the 408W finished.
I'd never really looked at M.E. before; because I thought it was all late-model stuff; turns out that particular issue had write-ups on a '65 FB getting an SSBC rear-disc mod and on a Year One '67 FB build hidden inside. Not a lot, but at least the editors let their readership know there were Mustangs before the Pinto/Fox years.

Yo, BDT; whassup????
Talked to Tink last night; the blond-headed Irish kids parked the truck/trailer/Cobra rig in Knoxville, after getting a late start due to rain in N.C. Should be well on the road to western Iowa with plans off finishing the trip before too late tonight.
So where are the dark-haired Kansas kids??????

So I haven't posted in awhile on here, and I figured I'd update with what's going on with me! I went out for my birthday last Monday and met a crazy girl, started flirtin', come to find out she's a 13 out of 10 bombshell who drives a Mustang, is a welder, shares a lot of my ideals from a political standpoint, loves denny's desserts (which are my favorite), loves action movies, hates people's BS, and is a country girl moved to CA! She's SO amazing. Anyways, she is going to start tattooing, so I'm gonna give her my whole leg to start. On my birthday she took me to a strip club, and I think it was the first time that I forgot that there were naked girls on stage! The one next to me was way more beautiful! 
**BUMP**

We are here at school dealing with all kinds of new security protocols after the VT incident
. On the bright side we are only 10 SCHOOL days from graduation, we are working vigorously on our senior research projects and I am trying to make money to pay off my 2,000 dollar school debt. On the bright side i should be able to have my college paid off by June if everything goes right I also got word from home that my dad finished up welding on those exhaust tips, and he also took the car off the jacks for the first time in about 9 months 
So as soon as i get some time i will head back down to Ulysses to pick up my car and trailer it back up here. This weekend we will be shopping for storage units. So we have been extremely busy around here. We havent made plans for this weekend but I will let you all know what going on. BTW last weekend she made me lasagna OH MY GOD 
SOOOOOOO GOOD, and last night I came home found her in my apartment grilling chicken on the deck, it turned out fantastic!

Better start looking for hidden cameras everywhere she takes you to make sure your not being duped on some TV show hosted by a has been entertainer where you meet the hottest girl of your dreams only to be put in some hilariously awkward situation every week for millions of viewers to laugh at!
If that's not the case then good on you you lucky bastard!

I know, I have been catching some hints from her and her mom. But my parents haven't said anything about it. They may not like there daughter and there son getting married in the same year, then again maybe they just don't want to pressure me. I honestly don't know how to talk to them about something like that.

Okay, here's where I can speak from experience!
Grab a beer or six and sit down with your Dad to talk about it.
I did that, and my Pops told me that; if I got my sh(nizz)it together, I stood a chance of holding on to the girl. Dad was always heaping praise on me, that way......
Mom, on the other hand, alternating from being slightly less enthusiastic than Dad, to being ecstatic about it (she made Mrs StDr's wedding dress (one of Mom's custom designs) and kept the $750 bill from my future mother-in-law), to crying about "her baby boy growing up and getting married". It was kinda like living in the room next to a couple of bi-polar personlities all wrapped into one Mom.
Just tell Dad that this girl thinks you're her sunup and sundown, and you have no clue why she does; but you (obviously) feel the same way about her and that you want to grow old with her. It might or might not be a good idea to add "Just like you and Mom did" - you know him better than we do, so use your judgement on that one
Once you get Dad on your side, go with him to your Mom. If Heather's Mom is on your side, you should have a slight downhill slope to getting your Mom and her dad to agree, as well. The major effort will probably be getting her Dad to go along. Dad's are just funny that way about their daughters..... although I sometimes wish I were a teensy little more(okay, a super-tanker-load more) reluctant to go along with Tink's abortive first marriage. (Sorry, daughter of mine; but the truth is finally out)

Ok. I'll be the killjoy.
Wait. Take your time. If it's meant to be it is meant to be. If it's going to be forever now, it'll still be forever a year from now. I'm sure many of us can tell you of fairy tale relationships that were absolutely amazing for a long time, but the girls just weren't women yet. Sometimes there are things that turn out to be conflicting after having lived together for a little while.
In this day and age, with the professional world that we live in and the high rate of divorce, it is my suggestion to all couples to go ahead and try living together. Don't dance around the topics of kids, money, working and make sure you're on the same page with what you want to do with your lives. Better to see that you're not on the same page now than worry about choosing between leading your life and being forced to compromise.
If she's the one, and personally it sure as heck sounds like she's a real winner in my book, then all of these topics will be easily discussed and brought out into the open. Anything you've been holding back on... don't any longer.
Giving things more time doesn't hurt. I had her Dad's blessing (heck, he nearly begged me to), my parents loved her, my siblings thought she was their sister. All I had left to do was buy the ring. Clearly things didn't work out, and it was for the better. I told her I wasn't going anywhere more serious until I was through with school and established in a career with a house. She wanted to get married. A few months later we were having problems that never ended.

Statistically, the divorce rate is nearly 50% higher for cohabitants than for non-cohabitants.

Googd points from both 351carlo and stangsky. One thing I should stress is that Mrs StDr and I were "officially engaged" for nearly two years before getting married; and that we more or less lived together all during that time. "More or less" is defined as such: I had my own apartment and she was still officially living at her mother's; but I lived closer to to the UofA, and over half my closet space was dedicated to her clothes and student nurse's uniforms. In fact, I had put her on my lease as a tenant so that she had my other parking permit and her dog was legally on the lease along with mine. When we moved out of the apartment into our first house; she was co-lessor on that house as Susan Toth-Allen, ("adopting" my last name only four months early).
By the way, we waited so long to get married because she waited to be established at her first hospital before marriage. The original plan was:
1.) She got her degree.
2.) She "settled down" at her job.
3.) We'd get married and get settled in (at least a year, maybe longer).
4.) And then I'd go back to school to finish up my EE degree.
That last part didn't happen; because, well..... we had set a date for me to quit work and start school full-time (spring semester 1986); but before that date arrived, we found out that there was a baby coming.
Still no regrets.

I dunno, Fritz; I'm kinda "off" on the whole "Do it NOW!" thought. These kids are what? 21? 22? Okay, sure, I was married at 21; but I had been kicked around by women for a long time before that, and Sue had a few real winners as boyfriends as well. We both had just come off of really cr@p relationships and had no plans of settling down. She got to see most of my idiosyncrasies and bad parts (although she missed my pitching a 14" Crescent wrench 55' across a roping arena and nailing a guy in the back of the head with it); and I got to see hers. My folks were married 48-1/2 years before Dad died; her folks split the sheets when she was 12 (oldest brother would have been 17, so I'm gonna guess about 20 years married). We both saw all the stoners, jocks, freaks and geeks around us and kinda felt out of place 'til we got together. It was that whole "God's plan/Fate/Kismet/Karma" deal for us. Personally I have this theory that each of us has only one true love; I just got -uncharacteristically, for me- lucky (Can't say I was brilliant) and didn't get married until I found her. Here's hoping BDT and Miss Heather are that lucky as well.
Wow! Keep me up too late on Family Movie Night then let me dive into the Sammy's and get on the computer; I get all philosophical and preachy!
BDT, post some pics or something.... the horn-dawgs need a reason to howl !!!
