Welcome to the Dark side... And by Dark, I mean the world of superior engineered larger displacement engines. We chevy guys forgive your past indiscretions, and welcome you with open arms.

Welcome!

A lot of nice Fords on this site and past/present Ford owners. All types are welcome. I'm actually on the hunt now for a SN95 Cobra with F/I. Just so I can try something different. If I pull the trigger though, it will only be a matter of time before I am called back home (to the GM family)

Great intro. Just like a 17yr old but good luck.

FYI, there are many Chevy/Ford guys on this site including myself.

and for anyone who cares... age doesnt mean jack, im 17 and paid for my car, my mods, and installed all my mods. Just because some of us on here are younger doesnt mean you have to give us crap, its better than some 40yr old dick that has a post saying got my LT's today... going down to the local shop to have them installed, when im 17 busting my ***** for days between school and work to put them on to save money.
