A Young Man’s First Love
Observations of a Guy with a
Dream Car with a Chrome Tailpipe

2006 Ford Mustang: The Experience

The love affair between a young man and his car—especially his first car—is famous in the annals of this country. Junior Jeremiah Upton recently received the gift of a brand new, Vista Blue, Ford Mustang, every guy’s dream car. The car even has a chrome tailpipe! Lasso Online asked Jeremiah to share his thoughts and feelings about his new love:

Going 120 mph down the highway with no traffic in sight and that’s just about all that’s on your mind. Nah, that’ll never happen because mom is sitting right next to you and telling you to go10 mph under the speed limit to ensure no accidents. Sadly frowning as a 1987 diesel Benz passes you and laughs at your face. I was surprised at the situation, but I thought to myself, I could smoke this guy and give my mother a heart attack or . . . go along with it and be able to drive the Mustang another day. 

This car is a symbol of my independence to the oncoming and fast-paced world and I believe it sums it up quite well. The best part about it is the smell. You know that new car smell that is so great?  A vista blue attracts the attention of the surrounding people which is quite nice to enjoy compliments. The real trouble is to explain that the car isn’t yours for another seven months, which can be depressing at times. From the chromo tail pipe to the chrome grill it is brand new, but seven months away from being my own. It’s like waiting in line to buy a dog for the first time and the line just doesn’t seem to move anywhere. The Mustang has a six CD unit built into the dashboard so you don’t have to lose your CDs in the car. It isn’t used a lot with the Ipod plus Itrip combination which lets you enjoy the 30 thousand plus songs from there.

Ford has redesigned the 1966 Mustang which decades ago shook up the middle class Americans’ wallets and captivated generations to come. That is the idea on which today’s ‘06 has come from and yet again they have caught the eye of not just only the youth, but the rest of the family as well. I think Ford is taking it up a notch in the design of the 06 and hope they keep this good trend going. Bottom line: she’s a sweet machine.
