did you drive a mustang in high school?

[Ryan218]

this was on another board and i want to see what people have to say.

did you get made fun of? or told your cars slow?

i drive my 89 to school daily unless weather is bad. (then i drive the ranger or kia! ) if my car isnt in the lot that day people seem to think im just not there and go hey your here! its like a oden that that's my car and its unmistakable mine. the only 5.0 at the school and foxbody period. there are about 5 other mustangs at my school and only 2 of them are v8's both 4.6's one 96 and the 05 that my buddy ryan drives ( bought it off here. the 05 sonic blue GT )

people love these cars and ive never had trouble with anyone messing with any of the mustangs at our lot.

my car attracts alot of attention because its loud lol and i love it. made a few new friends just because of the car. everywhere i go its no doubt its me in that car. gotta love the ole fox!

this is such a true quote!

"i drive my fox b/c its loud, obnoxious and uncomfortable, and its unlike any other mustang, i like that i can pull into a gas station between a 16 y/o girl and with her 96 v6 and a 50 something guy with his brand new 09 GT. and they will both be like "wtf is this thing? why are my eyes burning?""

another thing i found kinda cool today is that my business teacher knows me and ryan both have mustangs. nice ones at that. ( him being a mustang fan ) and that we would kill someone if there egged them. and with today being seniors last day rumours of them egging the nicer cars in the parking lot. ( me and him both wanted to get our cars the hell outta there ) he gave us both teacher parking passes for the day after we came to class and asked if we heard about it. and told us to go move our cars to beside his. and guess what. end of the day comes. our cars are untouched while a good portion of the parking lots are covered in egg. and with it being 75* out right now. thats a huge as mess! so me and him owe this teacher! ha. we both ended up staying after and helping people get the egg of there car before it destroyed the paint.

Pretty cool of a teacher to do that for you. Thumbs up for him!!!

[BigBadStang]

Good story Ryan, and a cool teacher to boot!
I drove a 78 II notch with a built 302 4 speed...lol...waaay back in 1986:lol:!
At Jonathan Alder, I was King of the Cornfield Roads!:bigthumb There wasn't an Amish kids car that could 'hang!:lol: I did have a friend who had a 69 Firebird that ran pretty good.
Then when I started driving the 84 GT in 88, I was even faster!:D

[67Terror]

I had my 67 in high school and I bought my fox senior year. I actually got banned from the school parking lot for 2 weeks for doing a burnout in the 67 (damn peer pressure:lol:).

[Maximus]

I drove an 82 Lowered Chevy truck my senior year. 3 on the tree with a mild lil 350.:)
I didnt get into Mustangs till......1997, 98?? My first one was a 1989 Vert.:)

[BigBadStang]

I had my 67 in high school and I bought my fox senior year. I actually got banned from the school parking lot for 2 weeks for doing a burnout in the 67 (damn peer pressure:lol:).

Damn! You had asphalt parking lots?
Out in Hooterville, all we had was gravel for the lowly students! :lol:

[RIXXX93GT]

I drove a 65 Mustang my senior year 289 V8 Long tubes and thrush mufflers.

[slvr87cpe]

i had a 69 chevelle ss 396 that had a 383 strocker 4 sp in 1986 also got in trouble for burnouts in the parking lot first mustang was a 79 mild 302 with the pace car hood and front bumper cvr that was in 90 :bigthumb

[Holly]

My best friend's parents (Tracy Painter) owned AP Motor in New Richmond, which was a Ford dealership. They bought her a brand new mustang our senior year of high school (1985... no old jokes) and she hated to drive, so I got to drive it all over the place. I loved it! I had a 1979 Volkswagen Rabbit (orange, ick!) so I was thrilled driving that mustang around. It was not a fast one, but it was pretty! Back then, I didn't know the thrill of driving a fast car. :lol:

[02mingryGT]

Had a 68 Torino GT known among friends as the "Bat Mobile".

[DeckerEnt]

Didn't get into mustangs till I got on here in 04. In high school, I had a 73 charger. Senior year, I got kicked out of the lot for doing donuts in the snow before school even started. I turned 18 that year and since I parked on the street, I left for lunch almost everyday. 1989, I feel old now....

[CNTLOSE]

I had an 1986 Mustang GT I bought in Springfield, OH. It was a total wreck. I spent all summer before my senior year working at Kings Island to save money and restore her. Once I had the money saved I went junkyard hunting and found all the body panels I needed. The car was then sanded to bare metal and repainted silver with the GT stripe painted on instead of sticker. I then put '93 GT tail lights on her. As far as the motor it was stock other than a B cam. I had a RAM Kelvar clutch put in when the T5 was rebuilt. Like a fool I sold it a year after I graduated. There were four of us in high school with Mustangs, and in the year book they put us in there under the title "Stang Gang"....thanks Ryan for the trip down memory lane. :bigthumb

[facemelter71]

Had my 86 (swapped front nose to 87 before I bought it) GT drop top.I had bought the car the year prior and started to drive it my senior year.It was Chrome Yellow that lit up like a christmas tree.The side ground effects had the mustang gt cut out and neons installed inside the ground effects.The front nose Ford emblem lit up and the side 5.0 badges were cut out and lexan badges were installed with a light behind them.Car looked pretty cool back when I first got it.

[Gearhead]

I had a 1965 Mustang fastback w/289 2 barrel my sophomore & junior year way back in 1981-82. Bought a new 1983 Mustang Gt during my senior year.

[Foxxx5oh]

I had my 67 in high school and I bought my fox senior year. I actually got banned from the school parking lot for 2 weeks for doing a burnout in the 67 (damn peer pressure:lol:).


i had my 89 GT my junior/senior year, i was one of 3 foxes in the lot. and i too got a two week ban for a third gear roaster all the way across the lot...lol

[KB1]

My first car in 1979 was a Ford Cortina GT, not many knew what the hell it was! My first 'Stang I bought off Beechmont Ford's showroom floor the day I got married 1984 Black GT loaded, that's when the love affair began with 4 eyed 'Stang began! Have had 7 'Stang's since, all GT's.

[Stangman]

I had my '77 Mustang II since I was 15... I drove it occasionally to school mainly my senior year in '04. I had an '89 GT that I bought before I graduated but didnt have a motor for it yet unfortunately.... Otherwise I would have tattoo'd the parking lot on the last day of school!!

[93cobra]

I got my license in 93 and bought a 91 GT 5 speed off my dads buddy..."Absolute mint car"...

true story...6 months later lost my license driving home from Kings Island with girlfriend on a late sunday afternoon....cop sitting on overpass where cross county merges in with 275 before it heads down the hill heading west...i was racing another red foxbody and got pulled over just before harrison from a cop sitting in the medium waiting with lights on "past miamitown exit" 135 in a 65 "14 points all said & done & $3500 in fines only lost license for 6 months though..."

[93cobra]

i was racing another red foxbody

Btw if anyone on here was that other red foxbody...let me know...that would be awesome to know...other guy was at least 10 years older than me...:cool1:

[untamed]

I drove a 72 Mustang, 302. That was an awesome car. It was my first car and a kept it for 8 years. I cried the day I sold it cuz I told the guy that was buying it, that I had lost the trunk key and he said " Oh no worries.... I will just pop the lock out with a screw driver, No big deal " oh I wanted to die.

[BlazinEagle]

I drove and 88GT that was prowler yellow with black racing stripes. Everyone knew it was mine and if I was at school or not!

[sean]

1980 mustang notch. Loved the car. Had those metrics on it and the tires were waaaaaay expensive. I think it was 1992 or 1993. I left school went to see my girlfriend, wife now, and was flying around a turn and droped it into 1st. Did I mention it was an automatic? Well I was still goung about 35 - 40 and it made an awful noise and about 5 min later it was cooked. Back then if a motor went or a tranny it was the end of the world and I junked it. If I knew then what I know now I would have kept a few of those cars and not left them on the side of the road. ha. I once left a pretty nice 79 trans am that was close to mint at a gas station with the keys in it and a sign that read I AM DONE WITH THIS. in the window. Title in the glovebox keys in it and walked away. Stupid thing kept breaking down and I guess I had enough. Man I ws a stupid kid....

[R825OH]

78 Mustang II w/ a 82 GT motor in it. It was bright orange with ttops...Man I shoulda never sold that one:(

[KobraII]

My Cobra wasn't done in time for me to drive it to school, but this was only a year ago, and I had the Explorer. Only Explorer at Boone County High School, haha

[STREETRODZ1]

I had my 74 Nova, more power then i needed to start with, my Dad had built a healthy 355 for her, and she would get it done. One of two Novas that would occasionally drive to school, the other one was my buddies dads car, he would drive it every now and then. I got him in trouble doing burnouts in mine across the parking lot, mine was primer with a white front fender, my buddies was white and the principle thought it was him cause he only noticed the white fender on my car and how loud it was. Those were the days, damn i miss my Nova!

[satan jamez]

I drove an 84 1/2 SVO. I was laughed at for driving a turbo 4 cylinder mustang for its sound. No one wanted to race me though. :lol: In fact I should get another one of those.....

[KobraII]

My family has a 86 SVO. I want to restore it so bad (it's actually in the middle of being restored), and take it for a spin.

[satan jamez]

The SVO's are a blast to drive. The best balanced Mustang front to rear ever produced IMO. Plus the 2.3 can handle decent boost levels.

[kennebellcobra]

I drove an 83 Gt in high school:cool1:

[Ryan218]

ha no problem since i started driving ive drove 6 different cars to school. man do i confuse the hell out of people lol.

[Markcore]

I drove a Camaro :tard:

[thecollector]

Jr/Sr year I got a 95 roush mustang. Chrome yellow, black shinoda "Boss" stripes. Some people would give me shit but I was the fastest car in the school at the time- which says something for a vocational school packed with gearheads. The smack talkers were the 16.0 dakotas and the blazer guys who thought the 4.3 was gods gift to gasoline. I spent two summers digging graves for that car. I sold it a year and a half ago for a jewelry investment (ring). When the little lady gets done with school I'll pick up an 03/04 cobra. Till then I rock an SVT focus 5dr for child seat and gas pump compatability

[chad393na]

I Had a '78 cobra my senior year. Didn't keep it for long after that, that car was seriously weak!

[306Power]

I currently drive my 97 GT to school and have done so from the beginning of my senior year.

[Dirtyd0g]

I have never owned a mustang.

[KobraII]

V8's for the Mustang II's only had 130 horsepower in their stock state. Sad, but true

[5.0calypso93lx]

I bought mine back in 00' or 01' probably, but never did drive it to school. I did drive my dad's 91 notch a few times though my senior year in 03'.

[zlou363lx]

i drove my 89 to school only once before i started taking it apart to get rid of that 4cylinder lol. i did drive my mom's 86 gt vert because she drove my taurus, and my dad's 70 mach1 a few times though

[modfox]

Had a 65 Coupe with the 289hipo in high school. For graduation my parents bought me a new 95 Cobra...

[chad393na]

This one one a 4 cylinder car, maybe it just had the appearance package on it:lol: Traded my '75 camaro for it, boy did I regret that:o

[Lt. Dangle]

I didn't drive a Mustang, but I was representing Fords, probably in a poor manner in most peoples eyes though.

I had a 95 Probe GT with a mild V6, mild porting on the heads and intake, bolt on's, and a lot of suspension work, and a partial cage.. The most important part was the open Pacesetter longtubes. That car was unmistakable. LOL Ask Untamed about the burnouts in front of her house at all hours of the night, bouncing 8200rpm's. haha

I miss that car.

ive had 2 SVO's one of which was an 86 1e that i was the second owner of, the other being a mean ass early 84 9w...god i miss my 84...she was FAST! and sounded nothing like a 2.3l at all :D

[zmcnutt]

I had a 95 mustang convertible v6 auto slowest thing probably in the parking lot until i got my 94 cobra my senior year

[Mustangchic68]

Then when I started driving the 84 GT in 88, I was even faster!:D

Funny thing to add: He also out ran the cops on his way home from school when he was 15. Unfortunately, he out ran them straight to his house...BUSTED...In a village of less than 500 - 80% being amish with horse/buggies and you have the fastest car in town....Don't try to out run the cops...they know who you are and DEFINATELY don't go straight home.:bigthumb

Good news we (he) still has the car. Hopefully it will be tuned up and ready to hit the streets again soon. Our 14 year old THINKS it is going to be his first car. NOT :screwy:

[kaik1969]

1983 Mustang GLX convertible. Blue with a black top. V-6 of course because my mom knew a V-8 would be trouble. Especially the way I drive. Drove it down to Siesta Key on spring break and got busted for having too many people in the car. The top was down and people just started getting in. We ended up driving on the beach later that night and almost got busted again. The cops were pretty cool back then but that was back in 86.

[k062693w]

66' coupe 302 4 speed red with black guts !!!

I regret selling it to this day !!!

[Camaro86SHOCKER]

i drove a camaro...still have it

[boostanggt]

Traded my truck in for the stang in 07 and drove it all senior year.

[Pops Fun]

Drove a '57 chev in high School. Didn't get my mustang til my bike had a head on with a car :mad: The convertible was an easy sell to the wife ;)

[ClevelandMstang]

When I was in school, it wa still cool to have a mullet and Trans Am, so I had a sweet 87 T/A with T-tops.... then modded it and ran 15's, so I sold it and bought a Mustang, cut the mullet and went 14's out of the box... thats where it all started!!

[Jeff88coupe]

My first car was a '80 mercury capri...200ci straight 6 with a 4 speed...drove it most of my senior year and all 5 years of college.

[bbfstanger]

had a 70 fast back with a 4bbl cleveland ,my dad built for me, headers ,cam,intake, carb,auto.
i had fun in that car,i street raced the crap out of it and only got beat a couple times.
never got busted,what a dumbass i was lol!

[four6trix]

I drove a '98 V6 in my JR/SR years of high school. My parents wouldn't let me get a V8 (good idea by the way). So, I went out and bought my GT in the fall after I graduated. My buddies and I went back to the high school parking lot that night and tore it up!

[sprayn93coupe]

I drove my 93 coupe 5.0, 5-speed the same car that I race now got it brand new my sophmore year of high school and then I got a 87 t-top gt my senior year to drive so I could put the cage, heads, cam, etc. on my 93. Lotta good memories.

[mustang112]

im still in high school, 4 more days for us seniors!!!! my first car (my daily driver) is a 98 mustang v6 auto, and i bought an 88 gt and drive it at the begining of this school year untill i decided to rebuild it. it had A LOT of rust so i bought an 86 t top and im trying to have it done by saturday actually. that way i can drive it for my graduation practices. its going to take alot hard work the next few days to get it there tho =( i keep running into stupid problems and then me not remembering where some stuff went now.... :o

[Wolvrin704]

My family was pretty low middle class so i didn't get any cool cars and always went with the practical vehicle once I was on my own until a couple of years ago when I finally got my Stang.

When i started driving my dad had 2 old LeMans, one was a 69 with a 400 4bbl and the other was his baby, a 70 with a 350 2 bbl. He was going to give me the 69 until my mom talked him out of it and instead I got her old 75 Pontiac Bonneville. It was about 400' long too and was once used to break the German lines in WWI it was that big. Plus it was burnt orange, but it did have a 400 in it. I stepped up slightly from there and about a year later bought a 79 Chevy Impala with a very wimpy 305 in it, but at least I could spin the wheels. Wheeeeee!

I was always jealous of the guys who had sports cars in high school. But I made out all right so no complaints here.

[98stangv6]

I drove a 98 mustang since I was 17, almost 22 now and still continue to drive her. It's a v6, due to the fact that insurance was such a huge difference and my $6.15 cent job didn't go too far. I always was aware of it being a v6 and super slow, so the car never really got beat on too much. It's always gotten me from point A to point B with no problem at all. I plan to keep it and turn it into a project car within the next few years. I think it's cool when you talk to an older person and they say yeah, I have owned it since I was 16.

[mailman]

I had a '66 beetle with a Mazda 12b rotary in it.

[mustang112]

I think it's cool when you talk to an older person and they say yeah, I have owned it since I was 16.

i agree, ive had mine since i was 15 and a half. bought it wrecked and me and my dad rebuilt the front end. i plan on keeping it till its totaled or something worse happens to it. eventually it will probably get a 347 with some kind of power adder :evilgrin:

[wes 89 gt]

im still in high school, 4 more days for us seniors!!!! my first car (my daily driver) is a 98 mustang v6 auto, and i bought an 88 gt and drive it at the begining of this school year untill i decided to rebuild it. it had A LOT of rust so i bought an 86 t top and im trying to have it done by saturday actually. that way i can drive it for my graduation practices. its going to take alot hard work the next few days to get it there tho =( i keep running into stupid problems and then me not remembering where some stuff went now.... :o

I'm doing about the same thing, my last day of school was yesterday I drove a 1996 v6 vert the whole time I was in high School and before my junior year I bought a 1989 G.T. from 89notch I drove it for a while then decided I wanted it to be really nice so now I'm rebuilding it. Plated has it now getting it some paint. I hope to have it back on the road by the end of June.

[mustang112]

sounds awesome. im probably just going to primer my car for now.... paint it next summer when i have summer break or have someone paint it while im away

[USMCPONY]
