Default Time really really flies

I bought this car new in 1999 when my son was 1 1/2. 99 Roush Mustang 630hp. Many car show wins, upset corvette and camaro owners and magazine articles later I was ready to sell. My son was very upset he is now turning 18 and he now tells me he always thought the car would be his he is very attached to car. In today's world it is very difficult for someone my age to connect with someone his age. I know nothing about video games and social media and really do not want to. He does show a little interest in the cubs but that's really my thing. So after many days thinking this through I have decided to give him the 99 for graduation. Before I hear this is like giving a loaded gun to a kid let me clarify. The car will now have two tunes that can be run one full tune and one very limited tune. He gets the limited tune I get the tuner which will be locked in my safe. He will only be able to drive the car with me. I also just ordered a new 2016 Mustang GT That will get a Roush phase 2 Supercharger 727hp. Hopefully we can now enjoy the hobby together for years to come. I am now planning a trip for us in the fall to go run the Ohio mile has any one ever been there?

Nice mustang. Glad you are passing this one down to your son. I don't think you will be disappointed keeping it in the family. He is getting a awesome car! Hope you both enjoy the cars and the adventures ahead.
Our daughter had the very tame version, same color, same year. Her first car, she bought her self and she loved it.
Regards,
Chris

Thinking more on this topic!
I got in enough trouble with a 1969 Rambler American, six cylinder three on the tree.
I think even the de-tuned version of the 99 Roush would be a handful? You might want to give him some driving lessons on just what the car can do in a empty parking lot near you. Have him take a extra set of underware just in case!
Just sayin
Regards,
Chris

I agree he will be taught how to drive over a period time. The problem is I was not a good example he grew up knowing that I did a lot of street racing. ( I don't anymore ). Eventually I will take him to the track and let him try it there but only a little at a time. The tune will limit top speed as well as acceleration.

I highly recommend that you look into something like the BMW car club driving school. I used to instruct for them and they are outstanding when it comes to teaching car control.

Nice car.

I always had to work for what I wanted.

What did your son do to deserve you giving him a car like that?

It's your car and he's your son. No one on here can/ is entitled to tell you how and in what ways you should be raising him, or what you should be giving him.

My dad bought a pickup right before I was born and it was the same model year of the year of my birth. He keeps vehicles forever and when it was time for me to be driving on my own from work to school, he got a new car (mom got a new car and he got her vehicle) and the truck went to me. Not nearly as nice as your mustang however...but it's something I'll always take with me. The truck was worn out and long gone, but I'll never forget riding in it and then making it my own.

My guess is water tank for water injection.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
