This is a wonderful song that any car lover can relate to. First of all, the man in the song who has had the car passed down to him is NOT insane as Occams_Harmony wrongly stated. This song is just about how a lifetime of memories are tied to a car that has been in a family for generations.
John Ondrasik, the lead singer of Five for Fighting actually owns the blue 65 Mustang fastback that this song is written about and which appears in the music video for "the riddle." John basically writes how everytime pulls the pony out of the garage he can relieve all the great memories of his youth and life. Such a great song :-P
