Since we're feeling nostalgic, I'll jump in.

I've always loved Mustangs. Heck, I hold to the idea that I was concieved in the back of my old man's 65. But like many young men, I had wandered from my first love. The allure of the Europeans, the technology of the Japanese (oooh, Super HICAS!) and of course the backwards charm of the British.(postive ground Healey anyone?)

One day I stumbled upon Mustangworks, whilst in search of information about the forthcoming 2003 Cobra. Next thing I knew I was thrust headlong into a community of people not unlike me, truly bleeding Ford Blue.

Like the Prodigal son, I came running back to my first love. Not three months after joining the maddness, I brought her home. My beautiful lazer red 1997 GT. Not only do I now truly understand the beauty that is Mustang, I'm looking to replace my 'toy' with another Stallion. Yes, something classic, that goes like stink.

Through it all, it's been the community here that helped me to realize that you only need one car, as long as its a whole lot of ponies. Sure there have been some changes in the short time I've been here, but the one constant remains.....

Y'all are freaking nuts!

Memories.........

Wow this is a blast from the ol' past

hehe :p

this site is the first one that i signed up for and is still the one i'm most active on. you people i have meant here are a great group of people and i have felt that you have become friends of mine and do hold your opinions in a high regard. this is a awesome site with hard working moderators and friendly members. there is no other mustang site members that are #1 than here on this site. later all, have a good one.

96SNAKE - I'm glad you dug this one out. I had forgotten all about it.

Another year has gone by and I'm still here. Kind of ironic that Unit isn't with us here anymore though. I still have MustangWorks set as my home page and probably always will. Depending on my mood I'll either check in at the Windsor Forum for tech stuff, or if I need a good laugh I'll see what's been posted in the Blue Oval Lounge. This has been a great experience for me and I hope I have a lot more great experiences here with my new project car.

I have worked on carbed cars quite a bit before I got my 90 Stang, but I had never turned a wrench on a fuel injected car other than the basic plug changes and such before I found this site. I even remember the post I made that got it all started. I had asked about the beginner stuff of performing the "free upgrades" and got a reply from stangsrule up in Lafayette offering to help me perform the mods that Mr 50 suggested to me. He's been one of the coolest guys I have ever met. I emphasize one because I have met quite a few people from here in person and they have all been really cool people. I've really learned a lot from this site and being the internet junkie that I am it says a lot to say this site has become, and always will be my home on the net.

Oh, and fiveohpatrol... you're not really a punk :D

Kevin, thanks for retracting your punk comment.:)

Eric, Below me :D

Wow I am late for this thread as it's alreay on page 4!
Yeh this post was like the one I posted a month or so back when I hit 2000 posts I believe. I love this site, and everyone on it. It is like my life outside of the one I live now. When ever something is wrong, I know I can always come here and forget about everything and read and share stories. This site has been quite amazing. I've only been here 14 months but I know this site has helped me threw alot of hard times (personal ones) and I know they've made my life alot better. There is alot of wisdom on this board. We are a very fortunate group of people that fit together very well. You won't find this kind of love on any other board.

Cheers Guys & Gals

"What a loooooonnnng, strange trip it's beeeeeeeennnnn!!!"

...to quote the Grateful Dead, lol! :cool:

Through the ups and downs... this is the mustang site I've always come back to. It's hard to believe I've been a member since 1998 *ultraflo goes into flashback mode* ...hmmm.

The memories... :D

You guys and gals are a great bunch of people, all differences aside.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Long live MustangWorks!

;) This is a really cool thread... And 2FastLX, thanks for the good word, but the truth is I have met more cool people (besides yourself) through you and if it hadn't been for you and your brother I wouldn't have had the chance to go to the track and blow up cooling fans and head gaskets!:D I have really enjoyed this board and like many of you it was the first one I signed up for and checked out EVERY day, and even though I have been to many others I have yet to find one with so many cool people. Even though many have come and gone, there are always more cool ones there to replace them... I remember when I first joined and had some minor problem, so sent an email to Dan about it and figured I would probably never get a response... Boy was I surprised when minutes later not only did he respond but did so with a fix for my problem! Dan, I really want to thank you for providing such an awesome place for so many wonderful people to hang out at!!! Even though I don't post all that often I am here all the time reading wonderful, helpful, funny and even wacky posts... More often than not there is something here to make my day! THANKS EVERYONE!!!:cool:

Why, you're welcome... ;)
