New guy from Nocona, TX...

[eliyarbrough]

My name is Eli, I'm 33. On 1/13/02 I was in a bad ATV wreck that left me in a 3 mth coma. I woke to not having a vehicle! Thank you wife, @ time. I went from then to 8/2/03 w/o driving @ all. That day my folks found a car mom thought I would like. They came to take me to it. As soon as we took the corner going to it, I knew she was mine!! It was a '95 Vert GT.

I had a friend in the DFW area that wanted a Mustang. I was looking for her online. I never used Craigslist til then. I noticed there was a 11 GT Coupe, just never opened link. Oh yeah, I now have a traumatic brain injury with about the worst case of vertigo 1 can have, that never gets any better. Cuz of this, I can't work so I'm on Disability. Never opened cause there's no way I could afford it!!

Told dad I found it, & couldn't afford that. He says since I'm 33 with nothing on my record, I prob can? I saw, printed off, & took off to my bank & insurance spots where I live. SOB, I can afford this!!

I found on a Fri night about @ 2, drove home in it that next Mon @ like 3! This brain damage has made me very impulsive!! But, I've been wanting to do since 12/28/09, when I heard Ford was bringing back the 5.0. Forgot, that's why I bought my 95, it has the 302!!

Lost my train of thought, I'll type rest when & if it comes back. Sorry this us so long! This brain can't paraphrase, I have to type how I know stuff. I'm sure u forgot key info! If doesn't make sense or you notice something just ask. See ya layer.

Pics of both.

This was 95 day after I bought it:

This is it now, still have it.

Here's my '11:

Call 95 1STOF3. Then I had 3 dream Mustangs. 64 1/2, 93 Cobra, & my 95 GT. This was before I knew they'd bring it back!
Call 11 DRM STD, Dream Steed. I thought of it right after I named 95. Hoped 1 day I'd have something worthy of calling it that. Again, this kinda was right after my wreck. Brain now doesn't work too well, light years worse then!! Dad pointed out my tags reads STD, I don't care though.

I have my 95 supposedly sold? To a guy dad works with for his 16 yr old son. Dad's known him for like 17 yrs. He's a great guy, said he'd pay me $1K/mth. He said this what seems like 6 mths ago, about 3 prob? He has just had some life crap happen. His mom died is all I can remember off hand. Once the $ starts up, I will buy mine a CDC Shaker Hood System. I wanted to get a SCT Tune with the fake cam sound, about talked myself out of it. I have been posting on The Mustang Source's forum, didn't know this even existed!! There has been issues with member's tunes. The little bit of car info I had before wreck was knocked out when that kid ran me over with his 4 wheeler, I don't know anything now. I just don't think I am car smart enough if crap could ever come up? Maybe I'll see & hear good news on here, though?

When paid off I want to buy black '10 GT500 rims for it. As you can see from my 95, I like that look. I have a list of wants filed away, that's all I can remember.

Welcome Aboard! My mom has pretty bad ephasia after two brain hemorhages and two strokes. After working with her for two years your post made absolute perfect sense to me. Congrats on the car and have fun with it... it is well deserved.

Pre-coma, I was a stupidly fast driver! That last truck was a 4 cyl 98 S-10, I drove it fast as she would go a lot. I just know the new me can't do that anymore! I just can't process the info coming @ me that fast. It took say 3 mths to figure this out. Sure I've sped, just not that often. Ok, it's harder in my new one!! It just wants to go fast.

I am all about the show & could care less in the go. As you can prob tell by my 95, I changed up every thing. I next was to upgrade the Mach 460 stereo. I chose to just go with the Shaker 500. I kinda made a huge upgrade!!

How do you put in your signature pic? On other forums you just put the IMG line. Guess you don't here? I entered all 4 lines on PhotoBucket, still invalid file. Thanks!

Wicked GT, I really didn't know what ephasia really was. I had like dysphasia when I woke up. I couldn't swallow. I knew it meant you couldn't do something. I Googled it, can't talk. That's not good. My injury was a contra coup one. Instead of all hurt on 1 spot of brain, it shook inside my skull. They say many parts were affected. My speech isn't good! Not only do the words get lost from my brain out my mouth, they just get all jumbled. I try not to talk, all I can cause if this. It seems to be better in person, I stopped using the phone. Yeah, sorry I forgot what all it said. I just know that's bad, sorry for her!

I just looked up dysphasia, I have/had that too. That's not what I thought it was. Hard time rem'ing all my stuff!
