    Appreciate it guys!

    I'm going to the DMV tomorrow and get the car titled, tagged and insured and then take it to my dad tomorrow evening.

    Obviously your dad did a good job with you and we're also trying hard to raise our boys right too. I can only hope that 25-30 years from now, one of my boy buys me an "old Coyote powered Roush or Boss Mustang" to repay all my hard work and devotion. :cheers2:

    That's awesome!! I did the same thing for my dad only he isn't getting it until in the morning, lol. It's not a maverick, but it's a 1957 ranchero. I took him to the power tour today and he enjoyed it so much that he wants to go back tomorrow. Only this time, he'll know he has his own car from now on. I drove 26 hours round trip to get it and I've been hiding it at a buddy's shop. I'm glad that I'm not the only one trying to pay back dad. They've been there for us and now it's our turn right?!?
