My name is Jim and I have a '07 Mustang convertible, Vista Blue (took me a long time to come up with my userid!), V6 with the Pony Package. I've had the car for almost 4 years now (15,xxx miles) and I'm slowly making it my own. Everything so far has been cosmetic, I haven't been bitten by the need for speed bug yet- I've been pretty good about wearing speedbug repellent when going out to car shows, but I have a feeling that if I'm surrounded by you guys long enough I will be infected. I started with the webelectric sequential turn signals, then Agent 47 mirrors, GT painted rocker panels, 18" bullitts with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars (255/45r18s & 285/40r18s -thanks again tirenick!!!), and just recently put a set of Midwest Gear radiator extension covers. Next on the to-do list is exhaust. I'm seeking advice on what to do, so feel free to chime in!

I've always enjoyed cars and especially Mustangs! My Grandfather ('65 vert), mother ('69 vert), aunt ('84?), and uncle ('68 coupe) had Mustangs, so it was only natural that I would have one. I've been on tcstangs for a few years (mostly lurking in the shadows) and was encouraged to become a member on here by allwhite99. I'm also on themustangsource forum.

I'm interested in meeting new people, increasing my knowledge about Mustangs, and finding new places to go in my car. I absolutely love going for cruises! I've been to the Tenvoorde Ford Mustang Run the past three years, last year was my first time going to the Winona Ford Mustang Run, and I've been at the Car Craft Summer Nationals the past three years. I am tentatively planning on going on the Hot Rod Power Tour this summer and would like to find some people to go with, so let me know if you're going and wouldn't mind me tagging along.

I'm looking forward to meeting some great people, see some interesting cars, and having a great time with all of you guys! Thanks for looking and I'll have to get a few pictures up when I can.

Bad380R, yes that was me with the firefighter plates. Actually, you might be able to see the driver side front fender of my car in your picture (top right corner).

Dan, I am planning on coming to the meeting in a few weeks. My computer is out of commission at the moment so I can't upload pictures at the moment.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone and Happy New Year!

Nice car! I used to have a Pony Package Mustang until a deer convinced me that I needed a different car. It was Windveil Blue and a coupe, though.

And, welcome to a fellow firefighter! Volunteer or career?

Welcome to the Club Jim.

First if i were you please convert your v6 to dual exhaust.
Then the Best package system i think are magnaflows.
Please visit: www.completeexhaust.com
or visit the website and call John direct (phone number is listed). He'll get you hooked up with 40% off retail price of all magnaflow products. Trust me.... you will not find anything remotely close in service and in price.

Troy, thanks for posting the pictures! That was definitely a memorable trip!

p51mstg, I'm a paid-on-call, but hope to become a career firefighter. How about you?
Sonicx, exhaust is next on my to-do list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Well the definition of spammy is, "Having the qualities/likeness of spam." I don't see how recommending someone to a good website which has great deals is "spammy". You have a scewed definition of what the word means. Im just trying to help a fellow member save some cash because there's some great deals on the website. I am recieving nothing for doing so either.

Troy, yeah the black Mustang enjoyed using his accelerator. Were you at the bar when someone almost lost control of their vehicle while doing a burnout, almost hit some people and their cars? That's when I decided it was a good time to leave.

Mitch, thanks for recommending that I join! Looking forward to seeing the new car!

I saw some guy that was spinning around in the grass and almost hit some cars..Is that what you are talking about or was there another incident also?Yeah,I don't think i would have wanted to be parked on the side of the road when they were doing burnouts..

Troy, that could have been the same guy. He fish-tailed, gain traction, and then over-corrected. Then he came back and did another burnout. I guess some people never learn or grow-up...

Jim, before the mod bug hits you too much look into buying gears + a handheld tuner along with that. Really gives your car pep (out from the line) and will be one of the best mod investments. One that will put a smile on everytime you accelerate:D
