I suspect this will come as a shock to you, but we bought a different car earlier this week! It is a 2015 Mustang. My Monte Carlo has a little over 311,000 miles on it and Louise's Taurus has 302,000 miles. While they are both still running, you know any day one or both will die. Actually, Stephen is going to take the Mustang to Pittsburgh until October. In October, he is going to Brussels for a post-doctorate for a couple of years so we will get the Mustang back. We will keep his Monte Carlo as a spare when one of our cars dies.

I think the question is not will I drive a Mustang, but will Louise let me drive it? In the picture is Jack from Milo Peterson Ford in Kenyon giving me instructions (or maybe a lecture) on driving the Mustang. Jack's instructions were, you do not haul any seed corn, herbicide or greasy parts in the Mustang. It is a really nice car with more buttons, switches and gadgets than you can count. It will take a couple of months just to figure out what each one does. That is, if I do get to drive the Mustang!
