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.

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? |

Yes, really. Why isn't that a valid question? My dad never gave me anything. I couldn't even drive his 3rd vehicle. Had to buy my own. I don't plan to buy my kids a car, but I'll gladly help them repair it. I'm sure the OP has worked hard for what he has and I'd like to know why he decided to give his son the car. Obviously, the son wants it, and it's the OPs to give (which is fine with me). I personally think too many parents give too much, and now we have a generation of takers. This isn't a ratty old car that needs a restoration. This is a valuable machine that I don't think an 18 year old has a need for. Pay for college and he can get a good job. Then, when he's made his own money and wants a hot rod, he can buy one.
If you don't want to hear opposing views, don't post it on the internet. |

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.
