Hey waters here from the waters wake-up call.
Thank you for helping me celebrate the 59th anniversary of the Mustang this morning
back in the day I had a 66 and a half fastback
and how was that?
So what happened?
Friday night you're driving a Mustang Hey, let's be cool and try some car stuff before you know it along comes a bridge out of nowhere Probably wasn't even there like 10 minutes ago
Well, I never seen it.
No, I think it was the bridge's fault to tell you the truth.
That's right.
It just jumped right out there, Michael.
Ding Dong's minding his own business.
Did you tell the officers that?
Or did you just flee the scene?
What happened?
What was
the... Well, I just kind of fled the scene.
Why do you think I just knew that?
Ding Dong!
Ding Who?
Ding Dong!
Kind of a bright side story, actually.
Well, hold on a second.
Let's start this thing off right.
Yeah, my dad bought a 1966 Chevelle brand new off the showroom floor and when he passed away he gave it to me.
Eight years ago I had to sell it to help renovate my mom's house after a fire.
And two years ago, my brother managed to track the exact same car down and bought it for me for my birthday two years ago.
Wow.
I got the car back.
So it's your dad's car bought right off the lot.
He leaves it to you.
And then you have to sell it because your mom had a fire.
That's heartbreaking.
But then you got it back.
Yeah, so he gave
it to me for my birthday.
I had no idea he was doing that.
I went on my eighth grade class trip.
to the 1964 World's Fair.
Oh, cool.
And the Ford exhibit was Mustang's that you could sit in, and it kind of pulled you along like a ride.
Oh, really?
So it was a ride?
You actually kind of got to ride in a Mustang then?
Yes.
That's where it was introduced.
The 1964 World's Fair.
I
lived in New York, and it was our eighth grade class.
Wow.
And I'll bet you remember every second from that trip.
The funny thing is I talked to a friend of mine the other day and they drove from Iowa to New York.
Wow.
They got lost and never made it.
Oh no.
So when did you move from New York?
I can still hear the accent.
I left New York in 2008.
I
moved to Iowa.
What brought you from New York to Iowa?
The weather.
Oh, the weather, really?
Not many
people say that.
Yeah, it's
a great place, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it
sounds like.
Well, what a great thing you do.
Thanks for what you do.
life out here.
So it's called Miracles in Motion?
Look it up.
I will.
Swish your Iowa.
Alright, Miracles in Motion.
Swish your Iowa.
And man, thanks for that 1964 World's Fair story.
I guess you've gone from one kind of Mustang to another kind of Mustang.
Oh, wow.
That's why you're on the radio.
I guess, I guess, I don't know.
Sometimes I can put things together, not always.
Yeah, well,
that'll
happen on
your picture job.
That's right.
Have you seen the movie Ford versus Ferrari?
No, but you know, I don't know why I haven't.
I know of it.
It's been out for a while now and I've never seen it.
How is it?
Really, really good, but it takes this date when the Ford Mustang is introduced and you have an inside look at
Ford Motor Company bringing bringing the vehicle out and how Carol Shelby
called
her the piece of junk
Oh, he didn't know what he had
because it was so totally totally underpowered Yeah, but it that plays a large part in that movie the development of the Ford Mustang
It seems like a cool cool movie because who's in it Brad Pitt and Christian Bale Christian Bale and Matt Damon.
Oh met Damon
I love the Mustang, but I would have to vote instead for the early Chevrolet
Like,
what year are we talking?
Oh, yeah.
It's something cool about those cars, whether it's a Mustang or whatever, a Challenger today, and just not as cool.
They don't have as much character as they used to.
No.
You can't really beat the Mustang.
That is absolutely the queer car.
I actually have a 65 Mustang.
Oh, do you?
But I have another.
Yes, I do.
That's cool.
This is more fun.
Yeah.
Another queer car would be the 77 Grand Am.
Oh, yeah,
absolutely.
That would grab.
That was the start of smoking the bandage.
Yes.
As far as I can turn.
Yep, every time I think of that car, I hear eastbound and down in my head.
Yes,
yes.
That is awesome.
So you have the 65 Mustang.
Do you take that out on the road often or do you just do car shows?
I want to take it to the Fourth Street cruise in Waterloo eventually.
Yeah.
Yes.
That is awesome.
So you have the 65 Mustang.
Do you take that out on the road often or do you just do car shows?
I want to take it to the 4th Street cruise in Waterloo eventually.
I need some body work.
I
haven't
yet.
Well tell you what, before that cruise I'll swing over with my wrench and I'll see what I can do.
Okay, I don't think a wrench would do it, but okay.
Chemically, it's fine.
It just needs some cosmetic work.
Sure.
Yeah, don't we all?
Yeah, we do.
Monday through Friday, 5.30 to 10, right
here.
