Sorry I missed you guys!
It was a crazy weekend and I seemed to always be busy making sure the Mystic was spotless, talking with people, looking around at all the other rides or resting in the center of our area. We had tons of people hanging around with us the entire show and anyone that was wanting to talk with us or was looking for anyone just had to speak up and say Hi...
And yes, most of our ACTIVE members have Stangs, Lightnings or T-Birds. But we would love to have more Tours, Cougars, Focus, etc. over there. Just haven't seen much activity from the FWD guys? We had a spot on the site for V6's and 4's, but it did not get any traffic and we pulled it off.
I'm sorry you did not get many intinal replies, but posts that just say hi, don't give us much to reply too. Give us another try and post up some info on who you are, what your car is and what you like to do with it...ask some tec questions or reply in the anything goes area. Make yourself know...all Ford guys and gals are welcome!
On that note...We are working on a Dyno day and a track day the weekend of April 13th. The details are not final yet, but I will post up the info when they are...And as always all Ford fans are welcome!

The #1 enemy should be ricers that think anything imported, including Kias, are the "Holy Grail", not each other!

just a little ot:
i went from a mystique to a wrx because i had already had my share of contiques, wanted to try a little someting different. i figured all wheel drive would be better than front wheel drive, the wrx was a little quicker, i knew you could tinker with a turbo car and see some results, and i wanted to test out the quaility and reliablility of a jappaneese car, see if its what they really say it is.
there is also a WIDE range of aftemarket parts available for subarus, another bonus.

(1) Saturdays at the Living Room suck total cock... I picked the place b/c that is where we all usually hang out. Next time someone else can recommend a different place... Sorry man, but we will meet again somewhere. We should make night meets more frequent!

(2) I agree w/you a 100%. This is the precise reason that I was appalled the way Ron was reaming Joe on the other post. We have enough bull**** from ****ing Ricers, that I was so disappointed to see that we had dissent within a Ford club. I will be the first one to say that I love Mustangs, hell my first car was a Black GT, but the way Ron went off really bothered me. Now that the dust seems to be settling down, I hope that there is some more understanding as to how some people feel about their cars.

I love unity within the group, and that is why I started this thread. When Dan wanted to leave, I did all I could to convince him to stay. I don't want Ron to leave, and I am sure that the majority of you feel the same way. This whole deal was a simple outburst of emotion and it is a shame that it got out of control.

As for expressing your opinion, by all means do so! However, please remeber that every comment that is negative regarding our cars will be met by either general dismay, or it will be met by a feeling of being personally insulted. The latter is where the problem mainly exists.

And while many of you will shrug off a bad comment about a Contour, some of us who are real fanatics will be totally enraged. It is just pure emotion, plain and simple.

Hopefully this can leave no residue on this club, and more importantly, I hope it brought us more togheter, as we are all in the same camp.

I am looking forward to Friday night, so lets hope that many of you show up!

Thanks for listening.
