I had a super-gas mustang when my broker talked me out of investing 50K in a new IPO for some company called Google. (D'oh) Who knows what I might be driving if he hadn't done that.
I'm struggling to get back into racing building a '67 Shelby from scratch at age 63. Hope to finish it by the time I retire in a few years.
