    Greg, You don't fall In the original owner category. You fall in the buy cheaper pre owner car category list.. Just the way it is. Live with it.

        I nominate this as the wackiest thread I've recently read on TBN in quite a loooong time.

        Guess we owe Greg thanks as he did bring Dean Greer to the forefront and he has been added as the 29th entry in the Who currently owns more than one T-BIRD? thread.

        Thanks Greg (I think) really

            There are many of us who didn’t buy one new, but we love our Birds no less than any of the original owners! We all own them so let’s just be grateful we found our way!
            Love my 2 Two Birds and proud of it!

                Guess we owe Greg thanks as he did bring Barry Richman to the forefront and he has been added as the 30th entry in the "Who currently owns more than one T-BIRD?" thread.

                Thanks Greg (I think)[/QUOTE]

                Wow I love this place, thanks also to our illustrious leader for telling us who "A real T-Bird Owner Is". Sorta like another famous "Real T-Bird Owner" from years ago telling us what a "Real Car Guy " is. Is this a great site or what!!!!!

                Ahh it's now after 5:00 a.m. and back to the coffee pot and three "real" newspapers until Gene gets up in Joisey and continues with more Auto wisdom,

                  In order of purchase:
                  2005 Silver Platinum (Pearl)
                  2002 Midnight Black ( Midnite)
                  2002 Thinderbird Blue (Thunderbolt- but on the tag she is TBOLT
                  2004 Torch Red
                  2002 Neiman Marcus #0041 (no name yet)
                  I really want a 2002 Inspiration Yellow and a 2003 or 2004 Merlot. After that, I’ll probably be satisfied.
                  Wow, what is in the Tennessee water that inspires collections of retro-Birds?

                  I'm going to guess that original owners that had to pay over sticker price count even MORE as real T-Bird owners?

                    Good point Harry. I came close on Baby Blue being the second owner. And Spence I'm sure there are lots of original owners that mistreated their 'jewels'...

                      Wow, Bill, you got quite the headstart on me today. I bought new, got a fair deal, and still can’t be a real owner. If the car says Thunderbird and your name is on the tiltle, then you own it per the DMV.

                      Do I care? Heck no! Everyone enjoy your car in your own way. Try to stay safe. We already have too many members on the highways of heaven.

                            ordered two 'cause I think one will be worn out from continuous viewing. Mailman is getting tired of me meeting him every day and shedding tears as it wasn't delivered yet!

That is a T-Bird Owner. I am near the lower end of the list with only 138,000 miles on my one and only Bird. Having the $$$ doesn't matter to buy a few but how much you use or drive that Bird does matter. You can have many T-Birds but if you don't drive them who cares. I drive mine and enjoy it. It doesn't sit in the garage and collect dust. It gets driven and enjoyed to the fullest that extents for owning a car like this. Drive and enjoy your car.
                              It's interesting that I bought my first retro Tbird new at the dealer in 2002 and have driven one as a daily driver for the past 16 years logging over 300k miles yet I don't qualify as a "T-Bird owner"
