Now that you posted the clip Steve I feel dumb..er.
 
I thought they misunderstood the question and "JR" you indicated was for
Jack Ruby...I sure didn't think of JR from the TV series.
 
 

 
Don't believe everything you see on TV.
 
It wants you to think you are smarter than most everyone else.

Oh...my dad bought the first '64 1/2 Mustang sold in our town- 

I "learned" to drive in a '64 1/2 mustang. My singer's brother in law let us have the car for the (new years eve) night as long as we promised to stay on the back streets. I was 15.

Couldn't you guys afford the whole mustang instead of just a half?
 
(I can't talk, my first car was a 1971 gold Cadillac Coupe De Ville that could take you and 11 of your best friends to the movies...)

What a great car to learn in!
 
LOL Craig...but seriously, no. Both my folks worked hard and skimmed by.
I remember dad coming home from work pissed...he was driving a used Bug and
when he went to pass a slower driver they would speed up and whether or not we
could afford it he didn't have any trouble passing. It would out-run the local cops
too LOL..I know and at around 8yrs old I knew what "bury the speedometer" meant.
 
I too learned how to drive in that red '64 1/2 Mustang but I was somewhat younger Bapu.

We're all somewhat younger than Bapu, Michael.  But he's got an Alembic (whatever that is).
 
BTW - That Caddy was modified by my crazy millionaire uncle (who invented the glass elevator and was the chief mechanic on an Indy 500 car two years back in the 60's).  The limited slip was replaced with Positraction, wider tires were added to a shortened axle so they would hide, it had a Littlefield blower and it had dual Holly 780's with extra large secondaries (among other "extras" like an NOS kit for a short time).  It got up to 163 mph on a straight in El Cajon CA but looked stock (albeit a boat) - lol.  It was absolutely horrible to drive if you weren't going straight though!  It would float side-to-side at higher speeds and would always slide out when making a turn thanks to too much power and Ford transmission fluid.  I could scratch three gears though which made for some nice road graffitti.  Of course, the 33 gallon fuel tank only lasts so long at 5 mpg or less!

Kenny Jay's dad gave him a 67 289 Mustang Convertible for us to learn on.
 
He literally said "you're only young once, try to stay out of trouble."
 
The first time we did a brake job we learned a whole bunch.
 
:-)

My first brake job (all by myself) was on my 1960 Ford Falcon.
 
Loved that car.
 
It was a two door and I figured out how to get my Acoustic 360 cabinet IN THE BACK SEAT.

Willy Wonka is your uncle ?

As far as you know.   My dentist DID make a lot of money when I was young...
