  1. Friended, Liked, and all that! :) So I’d like to enter.

    While hanging out at a car dealership yesterday, I saw a young 20-something guy come back from a test drive of a new Mustang 5.0. He then sat with the salesman and manager negotiating the car purchase. When they left to go do paperwork (or whatever), he walked over and was looking at the displayed Ford engine where I was. I said something about the Mustang and he said he was buying it.

    I said “Live it up, man. In a couple of years, you’ll have a kid on the way and be wondering how you can fit everyone into that car. So my advice to you is simple: live it up now, don’t worry about that future date and the need of a bigger car. You need to do this stuff now because once you settle down, these are things you’ll dream about doing, but never actually do. So do them now, while you can. Marriage and kids change everything – not in a bad way, but they change your priorities. You’ll think about doing fun things like owning a Mustang, bungee jumping, going out all weekend to party, and so on, but if you’ve already been there, done that, you’ll no longer really want to do them. So get it out of your system now and enjoy it.”

    I think he thought I was some old jackass. Maybe so, I’m almost 40, but someone gave me this advice once and I have a lot of great memories from my teenage and early 20s. I look back on them happily, but I don’t miss them, since I did all that and am now on a new adventure with a family of my own.

  2. I would LOVE a subscription to Motor Trend! I have been a “car guy” my whole life and most people in my family are. It would be awesome to get a free subscription.

  3. UPDATE: Many people apparently do not have Twitter. I will accept a Facebook “Like” to be eligible for a subscription. You must also comment with a valid email address.

  4. Well, I’ve been following you on Twitter for some time and I “Liked” you on FB and I sure would like a year of MT!

    Thanks for a great you job Adam, as well as our email chats!

  5. I always read the Motor Trend mags at my dentist and Dr.s office. Unfortunately, I always end up with a cold shortly after. I just want, once in my life, a germ free copy of my own MT to read without the gamble of getting sick.
