My dad is the original owner of my car, and he loves it, he wants me to do a TTset up, my dad drives an 89 firebird formula that were gonna do an lsx/t56 swap one of these days when we get more money. Hes and old school hot rodder too. In the 70s he had a vaga that was push 720whp, he never lost a race unless he broke something, dude my dad used to pop wheels a stop lights. I like fast cars cus of him.

It was pretty much a race car on the streets, high 9s low 10s in the 1/4. He used to get 3 gallons per mile, yes 3 GALLONS PER MILE.

well for those of you who read the mag article know tha my family is all about fords.my bro,dad,and grampa owned mustangs.I'm the only one who went out my way from the ford group.When i first bought my car it took me 2 months to convince my dad to go for a spin with me in the SS.I offered to let him drive it. he did nothing but complain about how uncomforatble its is and how it had a funny looking front end.
My mom always said it looks like a damn airplain because how long they are. Bottom line is that Dad hates it,but what grids his gears is when I come home and tell him how I smoked a mustang on the way home and how slow they are. My bro is a lil more laid back. he actually kinda like it.

my dad bought a gremlin back in the day. let your imagination go with that for a second and you'll understand why he drives nothing but 4 cylinder reliable econoboxes.
he likes my car, but it seems like everytime he gets in, i'm dialing in the nitrous on the way to taking him out for lunch or dinner.
his comments on it: "nice car" "slow down!" "do you want to kill your dad?"

My dad is going to be 50 next month and I think he is afraid of my car. He likes stock trucks and fishing.

My dad loves my car. He used to drive muscle cars when he was younger, bu he has a bad back now so he doesn't like to get in the low cars. I let him drive mine when it was still an A4 and he told me it needed a stick. He said it reminded him of his old barracuda so I guess thats a compliment.

Hmm... my dad actually likes my car. Lol the one thing he didn't like is the stock shifter but now with the 5.0 in there and the C6Z clutch (nice and light) he really likes driving it (only person I let drive my car other than myself). He even likes how loud it is (I want it quieter - and he's 60! LOL) but the one thing we agree on is it's missing a lil lope

Edit: sick, my dad's the same way about the electronics. He owned a couple BBC cars back in the day and hates how everything's all 'electronically controlled and diagnosed'. He knows it's more efficient but he's not used to it.
