since i became a member to this community. ten years ago i was a dopey 16 year old kid who had a '85 mustang GT that was inherited from my dad when he died and was sitting on the driveway, languishing. because it was languishing i wanted to know how to start fixing it up hence signing on to this site.
since then it got fixed up only to be wrecked a year later by my inexperienced hand on a freeway interchange. i got another mustang and really started learning off of it. the more i learned about it, the more questions i raised and i always seemed to find answers on this site. over 3 years ago i got rid of that mustang (but i still miss it from time to time) due to the circumstances of that the car was no longer structurally sound (because a former member drove my mustang through a school gate) and i found my next four eye, a '85 LTD LX.
with the ltd lx i utilized everything i learned over the years from this site, experience and training to make it become the sleeper that it is today. i thank this site for that
over the years, i've seen people come and go. long standing members fading away and coming back. hell i dont think i even see skye round here anymore. im sure she has her reasons. but nonetheless, the ethos of this site has remained constant, which i appreciate greatly.
while we might be seen as a group of hard-line purists obsessed over a platform which alot of other people view as disposable or a generation of mustang that even a good portion of mustang enthusiasts view as inferior in comparison to mustangs of yore and future generations. but if it werent for the fox platform and its many iterations and the 79-86 mustang, there would be no modern pony car or even a rwd v8-powered automobile that is affordable to the masses and is fun to drive.
i salute this site for what it has done to this generation of Fords that we are dedicated to. all the members who made the general motoring public aware of our generation and how versatile it really is. you dont need to look far either
well here's to another ten years!
