    Wow, I like it...Lots of emotions, my 84 year old father was just told if he is going to walk it must be with a walker...I realize it sounds silly but this very demeaning to him, it kills his spirit....For me the eternal hero in my life has been hamstrung and it's a painful thing to see. You see my father is one of my closest friends and an inspiration for how I have raised my son....He was always the fit powerful man we all wanted to be as men...Scaring my friends by just his oversized biceps, he was a mans man and knew it...The commercial is a segment of what was and what is.......And a taste of yesterday...

    Yeah, my Dad's 91 and it's been very frustrating to me.

    Instead of the confident, happy, handy guy he always was, he's become unhappy and complains about everything.

    I sometimes don't handle it as I should, much to my embarrassment. I find myself getting frustrated at him...I want to yell at him to grow up and be my Dad again.

    That's not his role now...it's kinda mine. I wish I didn't get so frustrated. Thank God my wife is such a peach and a help to him.

    Wow! An unbelievable job of photoshopping the action. It seems so real.

    Stu. You are blessed to have your dad with you so far into his and your lives. That you recognize your frustration and are able to practice restraint also is a blessing. He is blessed to have a loving and caring son. Your wife's caring is yet another blessing for you and your dad. To say that you and he truly are blessed is a gross understatement. :D

    Hey have 400K and can meet the qualifications? Ford GT will be available online to a lucky 250 people. I doubt if Tom could qualify though since he has such a long association with Dodge Muscle Cars! :)

    Reservations have already been sent out to present Ford GT owners to get first option. If there are any left, SVT owners will have next shot... long shot at best.

    I have no desire to own one.
