I drove my 92 GT off the lot new when I was 21. I'm 33 now, and always feel young when I drive her around. My kids love going for rides in her as well.
BTW, she has 178,000 miles on it and I took her to the track for the first time EVER this past Thursday and layed out a 13.6.

These forged 302's are durable!!!
What I;m tryiing to say is drive what makes you happy...not what makes satisfies someone elses image of you.
