JOKESTER - 2014 MUSTANG GT
I AM VERY PROUD OF MY STANG AND IT IS A HEAD TURNER DUE TO THE COLOR.
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I never had a family that was huge into vehicles let alone Mustangs but owning my own Mustang was my goal. I have been a Mustang fanatic since I was a kid. My best friend’s parents had a T-top four-eye GT 5.0 and he drove it all the time. We cruised around in it all the time and that is when I decided that it was my goal to get the Mustang of my dreams. I bought a 1984 Ford Mustang LX which did not satisfy my dream but it was a start. Then I sold it as I needed a better vehicle for a family. Like most, I am sure family came along and dreams are put on hold. When I finally had no kids at home I decided it was time again to make my dream come true. As the years went on I searched and dreamt about the Mustang of my dreams. Every day I searched for the Mustang I wanted. Then a few days before my 51st birthday I found my Stang. My wife and I went to look at it, took it for a test drive, and the next thing I knew the day I turned 51 I had my Stang. Since then I have had some custom artwork done under the hood by Corradomurals in Ontario and hydro-dipped parts in the engine compartment.
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
When I joined the GMR and I received my number, #0755, I felt very proud of my Stang. I have felt that my Stang has enough power for me so I have not done any mods to the engine since I bought it. I am very proud of my Stang and it is a head turner due to the color. Got to have it Green was my favorite green in the Mustang colors.
Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
