    I got lost in the fine print.. why don't you qualify as "T-Bird Owner"? Is it because you don't have just ONE Bird? Or because you don't still drive that original Bird? Or?

      I assume I'm not a T-Bird owner because I'm not the original owner of my current Tbird (bought with 3k miles) AND I'm not currently putting miles on the original Tbird I brought (double whammy). I wonder if I could apply for Tbird "enthusiasts" status since I'm also the proud new owner of one with 245k miles.

        One day in a pillory should be enough to atone for your sins.

          :Are my ears deceiving me...dissension in the ranks? Seriously... does it really matter? Why alienate people?

          May I suggest for those that must differentiate : Original owner: Gold.... 2nd owner: Silver 3rd owner: I would take the bronze! And so on...


          It truly sounds like a lot of hoopla over nothing to me.

          Reality check: Besides, anyone in my family would attest that my TBird owns me!!!!

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.
            Interesting. I own a 1997 Thunderbird that I bought new, still looks like it just came from the dealer. Only has 75000 miles, all mine. Does that make me a true Thunderbird owner, or does that only apply to owning a Retro ?????
            I also have two Retro's, am I a true Thunderbird owner only once, or three times.

                Not so fast ... don't be surprised if you get the following answer from some of the "long-timers":
                a) No, you haven't been a member of TBN long enough to be a true TB owner, or
                b) No, you haven't attended enough TBN events to qualify.
                Some of them can be a bit finicky (maybe depending on if they've had their morning coffee or not).

                  I'm the past owner of three low miles retro Thunderbirds. All three were bought new from the same dealership. Sold them all, so at the present time I am birdless. Do I qualify for any of the clubs being discussed?

                      Maybe I could sell mine and we can start our own former owners club.
