SUSAN TIPPETT BRAITHWAITE

I missed yesterday’s post—bogged down with site nightmares, again. So, here I am playing catchup as I’m unable to skip it. Seriously, how can I go from day 3 to day 5 and not go mental about the missing day?

For this Fan Of… post, I’m going with one of my all-time favorite cars. I say one of, but in reality, this is the car of my dreams. No other car comes close. The Ford Mustang (or Sorsie, as I’ve called it ever since I saw it on TV when I was a kid, I wanted one).

My taste became a bit more focused when I watched So I Married An Axe-Murderer in the 90s. There’s a scene where Charlie (Mike Myers) is driving around, and for the briefest of moments, there’s a gorgeous, sky blue 1965 Mustang convertible. The moment I saw that boy, that was it for me. Teenage me was in love. Adult me is still wildly obsessed with that car.
