Welcome to the Mustang Buck-A-Roo

Hello,

In case you haven't read the "About Me", my name is Steve. I decided to start this blog as an attempt to document my journey to owning a Ford Mustang. I will detail a few things here so you can all understand why I have chosen to do this.

I have never owned a new car. In fact, I am not sure what I drive now can be considered a car. I am an avid Ford enthusiast, especially the Mustang. I always figured I would have time to save and buy one, but a few years ago my life changed quite drastically.

My step-father, Keith, was diagnosed with bowel cancer.He is the single most influential force behind my love of cars, and I love him very much. From the very get go, his prognosis was bad. After chemo therapy, radiation treatments, and one Ostomy later, he survived. The odds were against him, but he survived.

That brings me to this blog. I work in the Social Service sector, so I make little money. I have always figured I would save for ten to fifteen years for this car, but since Keith's cancer scare I have begun to realize how limited a life can be. So here I am now with an idea. A cleverly named idea I might add. In an attempt to accelerate the process of purchasing this Mustang, I am turning to the Ford enthusiasts of the interweb. I am sending out a rally cry to everyone and anyone who would like to help. I need to raise about $40,000 Canadian for this project. This is a lot of money. In steps the "Mustang Buck-A-Roo".

The idea behind it is this. If I can get people to donate $1 at a time, I would need 40,000 donations. You can see where this is going. If you can donate $1 that is fantastic, if you can donate $10... holy cow. If someone wants to give the entire $40,000 I am okay with that as well. I too will be adding money, infact I now have exactly $1 added.

So I am asking the Mustang community for a helping hand in this. If you can "Pony Up" (hahah I kill me), it would be so very appreciated. In return for your donations, I will offer you my uneducated opinions on a variety of topics I do not understand. If you have an idea for me to cover, send it my way. I will also post pictures and car related material.

In conclusion, thanks for all the help you can give, even just the support of kind words would be great. I look forward to updating you with my journey.

Peace from the Great White North,

Steve
