Re: Thirdgen Fest '12 info
Any chance we can have the next Third Gen gathering in Steamboat Springs, Colorado the same week as the Mustang round up? Be pretty fun to have a ski town of 12,000 packed with 100+ third gens and 100+ mustangs at the same time =]

Re: Thirdgen Fest '12 info
No actually it wouldn't.... Mustangs and Camaros don't mix, they go together like water and oil.

Re: Thirdgen Fest '12 info
Yeah I know that, sarcasm is always difficult when your typing. What I mean is that I think that there are 100+ mustangs that need to be shown they aren't "all that". They usually do an autocross event, and the WS6 suspension could out do any 5.0 on cornering any day. although they tend to bring one or two Ford GT's, so that could be a little stiff competition.
I'm joking more than I am actually serious, it's just fun to entertain the thought.

As I lay rubber down to street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride. -Amen

This sounds like a good event. Three and 1/2 hours from GB is a nice summer drive.
I'll have to check my calendar for Memorial Day weekend.

Re: Thirdgen Fest '12 info
What's crazy about that? There seems to be a perfect window open. You'll have 18+ years with your new baby (congrats by the way). One weekend out of that to meet up with fellow third gen die hards.. it's a nobrainer.
I'll be noobe this year. Received the packet today. See y'all there.
