Whooops. Yeah, you're right. Okay, here are some points concerning other parts of the site. ........And, I'm gonna just stick to pointing out issues that could use improvement. If I don't mention something below, either I (in general) am just not interested in that certain section of MW (which is a fair statement, b/c who says I have to LOVE every little aspect of the entire site?. Plus, just b/c I don't really care for a section or aspect doesn't mean it's dumb, or others don't like it.), I may just don't go to that section enough to make a fair critique about it, or it is GREAT and needs NO comments---it's just fine the way it is (e.g., but not limited to, Stang Analyzer and Girls Can Too sections). ANYWAYSSSSSSSSSS.............

1) You know what attracted me to MW in the first place? It wasn't the message board. No. It was the MEDIA CENTER (and the Stang Analyzer, which is BTW still great!). I am more interested in seeing user's rides on public streets rather than drag cars on drag strips. I like to see a strong street car (whether if it's 9 sec or 13 sec) in some decent street action (cruising, your average stoplight race, a drag strip run, a parking lot burnout or donut, a Mustang or Lightning annihilating a Viper or some old hemi on the road, etc.) But, I've just about seen all the in our media center (and some of it is quite boring and of LOW quality) so I don't go there anymore. In any case, I think more attention (other than just updating FFW video clips, which to me get old after a while) needs to be given to the media center. I understand this takes up more space, but that I'm just throwing in an opinion...

2) It would be nice to have a general car (Mustang/Ford) problem forum for problems. For example, my air condition on my '90 LX (4-cyl) works, but it only comes out through the defrost vents and floor. I know it is one of those vacuum modulator thingys, but which one. How do I fix it? Now where do I put this question??? Blue Oval, naaaah, not really. WHat about Windsor Forum, naaah, not really. Having a General Problems forum would take some of the stress off Windsor forum also. Another thing, some of those simple or weird general problems seem to sink and drown in the massives waves of all the posts in the Windsor forum. Just a thought.

3)Pony Shop.
Need more stuff (not too much more but MORE). Like T-shirts. I personally wish there were at LEAST 2 more shirts (t-shirts or shirts w/ collars) for MW. Please consider this. I would buy it. I bought the one that's in there now. I love it and show it off every chance I get around my stang friends. Also, IMO, it would be nice to have MW flyers that I could leave on people's cars or give to my friends who dont' know this site (I borught this up to you b4, but I guess you either didn't have time or wasn't really into the idea--I can respect that--but I'm bringing it up again. AND WHY CAN'T I BUY THE NMRA/NHRA RULEBOOK THROUGH MW, PERHAPS IN THE PONY SHOP??????? We are the sister site to FFW, we have NMRA and FFW forum sections, yet I had to search all over to find a NHRA rulebook (at Summit). It's sure be cool if I could buy an NHRA rulebook from MW through the Pony Shop. Not only would I be supporting this awesome site, but it would also be easy access to a book. Consider these.

4) Tech Articles.
Dan, I'm not quite sure what you were going for (in terms of thoroughness) in the tech articles, but even though some can be helpful, it seems that many are (forgive me) quite dry. Don't get me wrong. I think some of them are very helpful, but they lack photos. Okay, this is what I'm getting at: Check out Jeff Chamber's Site and his tech articles. I find those very helpful b/c of the steps, pics, and detailed explanations. Perhaps you could add links to useful sites just as Jeff's which cover really good tech subjects (and I mean in the TECH ARTICLE section not the Links section). Darius Rudis (drudis) has a really good tech article section in his site.

5) Event List.
Go to Event List link and check out the Calendar. Now, tell me what is the point of all that?

6) Projects.
When is this section ever gonna be updated?

7) It would possibly be kinda nice if there were a section for a MW users' web pages (the ones that use MW web space). I guess you would call it a MustangWorks WebPage Community section where if users wanted to, they could add their MW homepage link to the community and we could more easily access each other's webpages. Just a thought, b/c I don't know how to easily get to other user's webpages besides finding there name in users rides which can be a little tedious sometimes.... Like I said, just a thought.

Thanks for listening.
