its pretty simple. my neighbors of then approx 10yrs were into drag racing. we used to hang out alot and while my mom was working id hang out with them after school. they swore up and down that FORD was the way to go but, back then i was big into muscle cars. fast forward a few 10 years and i was still pulling for the "dark side" (i was a cheby guy
) and i bought an S-10 with the intentions of dropping a small-block in it of buying an f-body(that thought still gives me the chills). well, one late summer sunday back in 1995 my neighbors asked me to go to the track with them(it was my very first time to the drag strip), we loaded up and we headed off to Byron dragway up near Rockford, Il. after being there for only like 2 hours i did ALOT of observing and quickly realized that if i wanted to go fast i MUST go out and buy a MUSTANG!. it was just a no-brainer, a stang was very inexpensive and bolt-on go-fast parts were very cheap. not to mention that it didnt take much in the way of $$$ to make a stang fast in the first place. after that trip to the track i started saving my $$$ and 3 months later on December 7, 1995 i traded my S-10 in and i bought Oscar (my '92 stang).
since then ive owned 1 other stang(a purple '96 GT vert that got stolen in 2/99) and ive been working on and building stangs ever since.
now my fiance' also owns a black '92 GT and pretty soon were going to start amassing out own fleet of fox bodies as well as a pair of '70 Mach 1's.
its not a phase anymore, its an addiction!
