When I was looking for my house I had 2 stipulations that I would not budge on.
1. pool, it is hot in GA
2. 3 Car garage.

We got number 1, but had to compromise on 2. The house we bought had a 2 car garage with a storage area next to it. I knew that I could pull the wall down and have enough room for my classic car.

Overall I am pretty happy with the results. The Mustang hardly gets driven so it doesn't matter that I have to maneuver it. The wheelies are from Harbor Freight, if I had to do it again I would have spent more money on the griots ones.

+1 on "drive the mustang more often". That 66 was ment to be driven.

I have a 1966 black with red stripe GT vert. Love it.

Wish I had a third space in the garage as well. Vert and wife's car in heated garage for winter, mine in drive way. Oh we'll happy wife, happy life ...........

There are a few reasons why I don't drive the Mustang more often.
1. The Porsche is my DD, it is a lot more fun to drive than the Stang.
2. The drivers in GA scare me, they don't know how to drive and I feel like someone will crash into it.

The Mustang was a gift from my Father when I was 14. I love it, and it was my first car. I have had it for 21 years now, and used to drive it all the time when I lived in MI. Now it is just for occasional cruises with the wife.

Yes I am very blessed to have him as a Father.

I had to paint it a few years ago, since it was starting to look old.

Here is a pic of part of my Father's collection.

Hey I completely understand about taking the classics out on drives....I have a 69 convertible Camaro I just finished restoring, and it can be quite unnerving getting it out on the roads with all the crazy drivers..

Your Dad has quite a garage going there, is he looking to adopt? I'm available!
