Handle says it all. 71 in Sept.
2015 5.0, 6MT, FR PP2. Plus 2007 Aprilia Tuono, 2008 Triumph Street Triple, 1975 Norton Commando, 2008 SLK350.
Owned 5 Mustang GT's since 2001. Each new one was a better Mustang. This is the first that is also a better car. Prior models racked up mileage in business. This one will be around for a while. For replacement I see a Model 3 Tesla Performance or equal in a few years. RIP, ICE.
You don't have to act old, but you gotta stay away from acting stupid.

AARP starts sending you mail at 50 years old. I consider you old if AARP wants you.

Screw AARP. I just turned 50, and this is the 4th Mustang, in a long line of performance cars owned.

Nice 1st post, Mike D.


For what it's worth... I dropped a note to Admin asking them to review this thread and consider your request with a new topic area. This could be met with enthusiasm or disinterest. There's no tellin'. There is much they will have to consider before making such a move and work involved should they decide to cater to your requests. But the more requests you posts... well I can't hurt.
GL experienced ones and thanks for the camaraderie posted here. Now I'll be looking for more old guys to thumb-up when I'm out in my Stang

Hey thanks for doing that. It appears there's sufficient interest.

Those wheels look great with that color.

Hi Wayne - sorry to say - I got no reply. I asked real nice too?

As a senior citizen I'm curious-how many other old guys are buying Mustang GTs? When I traded in my E350 (for my 19 GT) the look on the salesman's face was priceless.
I'm wondering how much of an anomaly I might be and if not, how many other "older enthusiasts" are enjoying their GTs?
I get questions constantly at the car wash (typically from Audi and Beemer owners) "Sir is that your car? How do you like it?" Translation - why the hell is an oldtimer like you driving that?
It's simple - you're never too old to enjoy a well balanced platform that brings a smile to your face each time you press that button. The active exhaust simply enhances the experience.

The majority of you guys make me feel young at 59! Lol
But it’s good to see all the senior Mustang owners here. My 2015 GT is the one I’m going to keep. My sons will have to fight over it the day I become worm food..

I posted a request and a poll in the site question forum: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/requesting-forum-for-senior-mustang-owners.122898/

I also asked the admin if it would be possible. Since forums don't just magically appear, I'm sure the more people who vote yes in the poll the more likley it will happen, so head on over.

I'm about to give up the Sports and muscle cars due to my stinking insurance company for 35 years. I have never had a ticket or an accident since I have been with them. I take the the safe drivers coarse every time I, required. But since the day I turned 80 they have raised my Liability rate tremendously.on both car but the GT twice each time as the SUV. I called and was told they would be going up every renewal. Asked why and she says because they will. Wouldn't tell me it had to do with my age. In 35 years the only claim I had was a chipped windshield repaired NO REPLACED!! Other insurance companies are wih in a few dollars of each other, If I get an estimate and put my age at 78 the cost drops dramatically. So be prepared if you are nearing 80 because these bastards are going to get into your pocket.

I don't know if they are true but have heard lots of bad things about insurance in Florida. Out of curiosity, you might want to get a quote from the same companies using an address in another state.

Okay so now we have 2 votes! I would say to the Admin every post in this thread is a yes vote

I would agree. The responses continue surprising me. Actually I'm feeling a bit younger given the age specifics a few have admitted to.
Here I thought I was part of a small segment of antiquated muscle car pilots. I'm starting to feel normal..

Some of us hinted around for a PP2 section as well, but got crickets ... I'm assuming they are too busy moderating the 2018 Mach l section.
