The very first #Mustang Mach 1 was a late 1966 concept that previewed the design direction for the 1969 production model

From rust we came and to Wolfsburg we shall return

I aspire to someday be half the storyteller that Peter Egan is.

I've been reading Peter's words in +Road & Track for much of the past 30 years and along with Dennis Simanaitis' technical pieces they were the highlight of the issues I got in the mail every month for many of those years. 

While did get to spend some time talking with Dennis on a couple of media trips including a weeklong jaunt to Japan in 2010, unfortunately I've never had pleasure of meeting Mr Egan. Hopefully that opportunity will still come one of these days.  

If not and Mr Egan happens to read these words, I just want to say Thank you!

The tale of the IV bag shows how secrecy helps keep health care prices high: at every step from manufacturer to patient, there are confidential deals that obscure prices and profits.
