Owned them all, liked most of them...first car was a 1950 Plymouth, I have
had vettes, trucks, little cars, an Austin Healy, (hmm..spelling), oh well,
I called it my Austin Wheely...65 and a 66 mustang 2+2 fastback with a 289 4
speed...had a bunch of fun. Dodge vans, a 69 and a 75..the 75 was a six
cylinder that did nothing but ping and knock...a 63 Fairlane with a 390...a
screamer....64, 67, and a 69 Malibu SS 396...got T-boned by a soldier home
from Nam...had to forgive him....all were fun cars in some way or
another...had lots more..but I do like the Dakota, which I inherited from my
late brother-in-law from Houston.

No point in arguing about it, we all have our likes and loves and our fun.
Its all good.

Psst...they all have nice cars - Ford, GM, and DC.

Whether Brand-X made parts for Brand-Y, doesn't matter. If it works, gives
you more power, and makes the vehicle more appealing to the buyer, let it
be. If Rousch wants to build some hot rod parts for the Magnums...HELL YEAH
- DC isn't doing much for them so why not.

(BTW: I never owned a Mustang...Owned a Chevy though.)

Ford guys ? i wonder how many on this list has owned a mustang ? i would
imagnine quite a few. i am not the only MOPAR guy on this list who has a
mustang or has owned a mustang in the past.
you dont hear to much whining about SLP flippin ranks to develop parts for
the mustang when they have done GM for so long. Branching out for them is
good for business.

what year would that be gary ? should i spot you a couple of secs ? lol how
much money you want to wager ? Should i put the car back to stock when you
are ready so you have a fair shot at a win ? lol
