Thanks all for the welcome...
Get rid of the Mach?! No Way....I bleed Ford Blue! You can thank my dad for that.
However, this is one Ford guy that respects all performance machines...no matter what they wear; blue ovals, bowties, pentastars, etc...
But my real passion is classic muscle cars...I love them all.
Since I turned 18, I have had:
'69 Mustang cpe 351W 2V my first car
'68 Dodge Charger non-R/T but with a transplanted 440.
'70 Plymouth 'Cuda 340 why did I sell her!?
'69 Buick GS 350
'68 Olds 442
'86 Mustang GT RIP
'95 T-Bird LX I needed a beater!
Current cars:
'03 Mustang Mach 1
'70 Torino GT convertible project
'04 SVT Focus wife's car

I actually test drove a '05 GTO back in mid Feb(?) and I was really impressed by the power. My bro was in the market for a new car and he really considered buying a goat. I tagged along to see the car and got a chance to test drive it. They are really nice cars, too bad they get so much bad press.

I remember back in '92 my buddy & I actually went to Peninsula Pontiac/GMC here in Torrance and sat in a brand new Firebird Firehawk. I didn't get to test drive it (yeah, like they were going to give the keys to an 18 year old!) but I still remember the feeling ...Awsome!
