In the summer of 1969 we were living in Illinois, just south east of St Louis.

The little redhead I was dating had a sister dating a guy with a new Shelby GT500 four speed.

One day the girls and I drove the Mustang over to St Louis airport to pick somebody up. Rather than park they had me circle the loading lane. In order to do that I had to merge on to the main highway and go down about a mile, than exit back in to the airport.

I had to do that circle several times before the plane landed and they picked up luggage. Of course that was fine with me.

I have blue bowties for blood cells, but I had never driven a big block anything before. That was the total experience for a 17 year old kid.

You know I think that was the only Ford I have ever driven.
