MW Old school people, where are you?

[95GTS]

I've been around here awhile as well. I just don't post near what I used to. It's good to see some names from back in the day. I had an 87 GT, then a 96 GTS, then a 94 Lightning. Now I'm trying to get into a 94-95 GT if I can find one at a decent price that's stock.

Been keeping busy...

[mustangman65_79]

As for me, I've been way to busy to even get on and type. I might stop in here once a week to take a look, maybe even answer a question.


Lets see, rolled my '79 Capri/Mustang, got my '89 Bronco running again, got my old '66 back, and I'm about to get a '67 mustang. Plus I'm looking for a '79 Pace car or so. Helping a friend get his '68 Charger running, moved into a house, went home to visit my parents, oh, and this is all within 3 weeks time.


I'm glad to see some of the old MW's around. It's too bad that I have been so busy. I'd still love to meet some of u guys, maybe we can all go to Hot August Nights next year. I'm hoping to have a '65 GT Fastback by then.


I have a comp now, so u ppl can message me once in a while. I know Josh, and a few others have been keeping in touch.

I'm not so sure you want Unit 5302 back. My Mustang knowlege is waning quickly as I haven't been paying much attention to the aftermarket and what not as other things are taking over in the world of importance.

Times have changed out there, and so have I. I no longer see the comraderie or even tolerance that I used to between car enthusiasts. Seems like so much is import vs domestic, neither side knowing anything about the other, a lot of uninformed trash talking, and people down on each others rides instead of looking at all the effort they're putting into them.

Traffic is insane, and crack downs on enthusiastic driving has gotten out of control because of the younger generation pulling too much fast and furious on the highways. So hard to have fun out there now, certainly hard to have fun safely. No more friendly races, it's just too dangerous in bumper to bumper all the time. The tracks are being eaten up and pushed further out, it'd still cost me a full day of driving and $100+ to run a 1/4 mile.

The car hobby just isn't worth it to me anymore.

I know how you feel kelly. Out here all a cop has to do is say you were street racing and bam your car is taken away and auctioned off. You dont even get a damn warning or anything out here anymore. Stupid high school ricers driving thier parents old beater civics have ruined the san diego car scene that used to flousih. Its a shame

I'm back from the dead....formerly 84_GT350. The Mustang's been on ice until just recently (new engine, tranny, suspension, etc). It was down for about 2 years and I got wrapped up in school (Automotive Technology Service Managment major). But now I'm back with the same car and a boosted 331. Woohoo!

Yeah its getting to the point that all you can do is LOOK at your ride It sucks. You people out west have summer all year around. Try dreaming about taking your Stang out but cant cause of the snow, ice and salt on the ground.

Whats up Kell.

Those of us that have to deal with winter (snow/ice/salt) don't have very long until our babies have to be put to sleep til' spring. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Hell...mine's all ready for winter storage unless I happen to be back in KC on a super nice day. Damn earth and it's seasons.

That's all I ever do. It sits under a car cover 90% of the time, and when I take it out, the cops glare at me, and the young kids act like idiots trying to race me, especially if I don't want to race. I have many things waiting to be put in the car, but like Kell, I've been losing interest in it for a while now...

[Topless In Texas]

Kell, I was pleasantly surprised to see you post here. I dont get here much either lately. My car is a mess...I wish I could have it sit w/ a cover on it like Joe, but I'm not that lucky. Hi Joe. Miss me? lol
I still love my car, but its hurtin now like it has never before. Ive now got 117,300K. The seats have holes in them. (seat covers now). The carpet is shot. (BLACK carpet will be next!) and my paint is just a mess. And the damage to my side skirts on both sides, specially since that hydroplane onto that median last month. just makes me sick. I know I can NEVER show at AUTORAMA again w/ it in its present state, although I would like to. . I have a drivers window STUCK in there now to replace my broken one. (off a '97 Cobra) but till we figure out if its a gear or the switch tomorrow, I've been driving w/ the top down w/ a crappy *** looking window up on my side. I hate it. It makes me clausterphobic having my drivers window stuck up!
My engine still looks bad ***, but I cant drive w/ my hood open, so....
just very depressing. And very little to get excited about at this point. And no money to fix what ails her.
I think Topless is at the worst now she's ever been. And Its not an easy thing to deal with. I'm still waiting for that money tree to sprout in my back yard.
I still get positive comments and thumbs up on the road. But, I know how bad shes hurting. And its tough. I feel like I have a sick child.

I'm extremely old school. I first found this site back in late '96. This site was huge back then. There weren't many mustang sites around. Mustangworks was way out ahead. Saleen had a good forum and corral was a distant 3rd. My my how have the tables turned. SAleen is no more, and corral is the king now.

[Stangrrr]

I don't know if anyone here remembers me, but I do stick my nose back in here once in a blue moon to see what's up...

This was also my first message board that I participated in so it will always be special for me.....

I sold my car almost a year ago & will be back into the "Stang" world sometime in the future.....

Yup...I remember. I'm in the same boat...car's been on ice forever. They even erased my original username. Hehe.
