I have recently joined the SAMC, and just wanted to say hello. I just moved here from Austin, Texas where I was a member of the Mustang Owners Club of Austin ( MOCA) for about 5 years give or take. Generally I am a busy individual with little time for being as active as I would like to be, however people would see me around from time to time and would enjoy talking about cars, or whatever. I will have to admit up front that for years I was in fact a GM guy particularly Pontiac Trans Am's & classic GTO's, however GM managed to irritate me enough, then I got a ride in a car that started it all. A friend of mine was working on an individual's '03 SVT Cobra. (exhaust upgrade I believe) This was the first time I had ever been in a Cobra let alone a supercharged anything at that and WOW! That did it! I quickly ran to my nearest Ford dealer and got an '05 Ford Mustang GT coupe. It was really cool, for the first 5-6 month's I don't think I saw another new '05 Mustang GT just a few new '05 V-6's they were that new. Just for the record, even while I was a GM guy I have always had a secret respect for Ford performance vehicles, and it has only grown. My own father who had at the time owned a C-5 Corvette, took a ride in my new '05 Mustang GT and was really impressed with it. He was so impressed that a year later he saw some Mustang's outside Bluebonnet Ford and one caught his eye, a white Mustang with a blue racing stripe he traded the corvette in on it and it turned out to be a new '06 Roush stage 1. He didn't know what a Roush Mustang was till I told him, but that was after he got it. So now father and son both have Mustang's. I did however trade the '05 Mustang GT coupe in on an '06 Mustang GT coupe that was more to my taste, it's a black coupe with silver and black interior the colors for my improving Oakland, Raiders! Anyway, to make a very long story short I am true blue go Ford!
