Oh, theres this big urban legend thing that occured in the late 90s. This woman who didnt even purchase her vehicle there brought it to get serviced, kinda like Josh did... ...I guess she didnt like the results either (cant remember exactly what they did or did not do, and she started parking her vehicle infront of the dealership with signs that read "Village Ford Lies" I also heard that she would sometimes appear on street corners holding a sign reading the same thing. I thought it was all bull, until one day I saw her standing by the Mcdonalds by Walmart on 1171 with her sign confirming that she did infact exist. I later heard that Village Ford wanted to get rid of her so bad that they offered her some wonderful amount, possibly even a new car (cant remember) all just to shut her up, but she was so stubborn, she refused. After that everyone just ignored her, because clearly she didnt really want anything. Im not real sure if she had an impact of Village Ford's demise.

Yeah, I think the fox bodies are the ugliest mustang out there, #2 would be the mustang II if anyone counts that. Hatchback would be he best of the 3, followed by the coupe, and then a convertible with the top up.

I heard about that too. Real sad. The v6 community was all upset about it. But I totally understand Fords reasoning behind it. Why spend the money on a v8 if the v6 will put out 10hp less. If they didnt, GT sales would be so small, that they probally would kill off that version of the car, and no one wants to see that.

 

I know what kind o car you meant...of course I would be cruising down the Autobahn at 140mph when you pull up next to me to race...no worries about the soccer mom.

 

who is "UmYeahOk"?

perhaps you should introduce yourself, seeing that you are new and all.

 

Im Richter12x2's wife. I appeared at only 1 RX7 meet, but that was way back last year (possibly even 2005) I also attended the cannonball with him, using my car. Come April, I will start requesting every 1st sat of the month off for a monthy mustang event, which will be cool, because it runs from 5-8, and then I can go straight to the RX7 meet from there.

BTW... ...since we're on the subject of ferraris now... ...now I understand this is sad and unbelievable, but Ive had several people thought my mustang was a ferrari. Yeah yeah, I know. They saw the color red, then saw a pony logo, people are stupid, what can I say?

 

Damn, that just made me bust out laughin in the middle of lab just now.

BTW, UmmYeaOk is a very nice lady, Clinton. If you actually showed up to the meets more, you probably would have met her like I did.

 

F40 having fun on the hwy, wayne is that you in the yellow F360?

Heh, that F40 driver is the FIRST time I've seen a Ferrari owner use turn signals And then for extra "haha" at that Silver RX-8 and Black bimmer trying to run with them.

 

Oh yeah, and I was at the rotary BBQ... ...I was the one constantly complaining how Jaqui had 3 mustangs and I only had one! ...course, I guess she only has two now, right? Im catching up! Woohoo!

Yeah, I'm damn nice! I'm letting Josh rebuild his rotary engine in my kitchen for a SECOND time!

 

did you see how that Rx8 cut off the F360?
god damn Rx8 drivers!!!!

 

no signal too. But if it were 35E, Id say the RX-8 was giving plenty room and good communication of his lane change. Was he the same silver rx8 from the first 30 second of it? If so, thats lame

On 35E one has to change abruptly, jerking their vehicle very suddenly into your lane. And to classify as "cutting off" you CANNOT be able to see their bumper due to their closeness. This is very scary, as many times I will think I'm about to get hit, or will be hit. The #1 thing not to do is to try to avoid them, because then you might swerve into a wall, when you would have just been perfectly fine where you were.

 

all you have to do is stay on the left hand lane and pass on the shoulder

 

That indeed is the Clintonian way to do it
btw, did anyone else get a brief snow flurry today like i just did over by Freeport Parkway and 635?

 

Thats illegal, and very dangerous as theres debris, ignore walls. The left lane is for passing. Everyone in that video should have known what the ferraris were doing and changed lanes to let them pass, speeding or not. The gold mercedes did just that, and he wasnt even in the left most lane.

Mentioning 35E again, the reason theres an actual LAW in TX for slow traffic keep right is because once I was in the left lane stuck behind some slow pokes, and I watched as this one truck jerked his vehicle from the left to the middle, to the right, on the shoulder, partially kicking up dirt, rocks, and grass, swerve back onto the road, merged into the middle, and then back to the left. I dont know if he gained any length from that, as I was now behind him. But since all that happened at once, so suddenly, by letting him pass, everyone could have avoided what could have been a natsy wreck.

The only time Ive ever past using the shoulder, on a highway was when two idiots had a fender bender on 635 at night in the left most lane. They were STOPPED in that lane, and with no hazards. Had the person infront of me not driven on it first, I probally would have slammed into them. Whats even scarier is that if the drivers were standing in the shoulder at the time, we would have hit them going 50-60mph avoiding the vehicles, not seeing them.

 

I have a video of me demonstrating the proper way to pass on the shoulder at 100+ but its a bit long...wonder how I can shorten it???

 

DIVX, or you may be able to make a wma, that compresses it a little.

Right near my house is a stupid tree memorial. 7 years ago, this one Junior was going to school (was early IMO) and decided to pass this one @$$hole who no one liked by using the shoulder. Now then, at that time, the speed limit was 50mph, and Im pretty sure the @$$hole he passed was already speeding. I couldnt understand just how he manage to drive off the shoulder, and travel 200ft before wrappng his car around the tree. Whats sad was I had to be TOLD that was a car. it looked like a black trash bag got draped around it.

I guess he must of either hit debris, or got too close to the grass, or maybe there was a flaw in the assphalt. All I know is everytime I pass it I remember thats why you dont be stupid on the road. I never really thought much about it in HS. Back then, a portion of that road was 60mph. I would travel 80+ on that, and only because the 4 people infront of me wouldnt go any faster... ...and STILL someone from behind managed to pass me, and all 4 cars on the shoulder.

 

way to kill my Buzz

 

sorry

 

its all good, as long as there are still lesbians going at itin the world

 

LMAO ... got your buzz back?

 

I will be better after some beer and wings at hooters

 

Yep, sounds like the perfect place to spend Valentines

 

well I would like to spend it with my girlfriend but she is a communist!!!

 

I dont know what Josh has been telling you, but just because a person enjoys watching the Smurfs, does NOT automatically make them a commie.

 

really??? better brush up on my sociology

 

commie girlfriend's, love and hate em ... usually at the same time.
