Old Men Edition

[Ret]

From time to time, I see you guys post "What have you done to your Mustang today?" Given that I am the most non mechanical guy around, I can't contribute anything. But that has changed, You may recall that my wife has advanced dementia and we are waiting for an opening at a facility near our son. My future is living in the Independent Living section, and my wife will be in another section for Memory Care residents. But I still get to keep my Mustang as the facility has a garage for me. To accommodate the changes my Mustang must go through she now displays the Old Man Badge.

Just like a fine wine, you get better with age.

God bless. You, your Wife and the family.

Approaching 74 in December, I can relate to your situation more and more each day. The badge is cool -- if I had one, I'd put it on the grill, or maybe under the 5.0 on the driver's side. Good luck with your move. It sounds challenging, but you have a good plan.

my wife has advanced dementia

Very sorry to hear about your wife. God bless!

This is what it looks like on the car. The red reflection, I believe is from the gas cans behind me. I had them put on both sides under the 5.0. I got these on Amazon just under $7.00 as I recall.

My kids (as I still call them) and I would get a kick out of this! Do you know if they can be removed without damaging the paint? They seem to be available as decals or stick-on metallic emblems. I would prefer the latter, if they don't damage the paint.

They are metallic emblems with double sided 3-"M" tape. My guess to remove them would be to heat them with a hair dryer, slide dental floss between emblems and car. Clean off (if any) car with Goo Off type product.

When I put these on, I cleaned the car surface with rubbing alcohol and then rinsed with water.
