|
| 1.) How did you find Gotstang? |
|
| J, got me on AIM when he first started the site. I then visited the site that night and was intimidated by all the great cars I was afraid to post mine up. I kept the site on my favorites before I got the courage to actually sign up. |
|
| 2.) Have you ever served in the military, and if so what branch? |
|
| Yes I have and actually still am. I have been with the USAF for 13 proud years and plan to serve many more. To me there is no other job on earth like it. Where else can you go to 34 countries and get paid for it. I will see more in the next two years as I am heading to Korea soon. |
|
| 3.) What do you like most about GotStang? |
|
| I think I love it all. The only thing that I dislike is J seems to change the format every month and I have to learn stuff all over again. I get use to and see that is actually better that way. |
|
| 4.) What was your first mod to your Mustang? |
|
| It would have to be the supercharger. |
|
| 5.) How much have you spent on modifications for your Mustang? |
|
| All the parts that I have on it now, about $24,000. Including mods that I had to do over, four different exhaust systems for example. I would have to say closer to $27,500. |
|
| 6.) If you won 1 million dollars what would be the first thing you would do? |
|
| The first thing that I would do is pass out. After that I really have no clue; pay off the bills I have I guess. Then remodel the house. |
|
| 7.) Who is your favorite musician? |
|
| This is a hard one. I just listen to music and don't really get involved like so many people do.
Since I have to choose one I would have to say its Toby Keith. |
|
| 8.) What do you love most about your Mustang? |
|
| The fact that I will never be done with it. I love working on it. |
|
| 9.) Do you think people appreciate all the work you have put into your Mustang? |
|
| Yes they do, but they always ask why a six cylinder and not a GT or a Cobra. I work at AutoZone part-time and customers admire her all the time. That is when I drive her to work that is. |
|
| 10.) Have you ever run your Mustang on a race track (drag strip/road course)? |
|
| My car only saw the 1/4 once, that was in Sept 2005 for a V6 challenge that is held every year. Took first place in the event as well. That is when I had a pufferdyne for a supercharger and a stock engine. Went a best of 13.7 @ 101 mph, not bad for 250 rwhp. There are no road courses near me to run at. |
|
|
|
| 11.) If you could live anywhere, where would it be? |
|
| I would live in Bernuda. I went there once with the AF and just loved it to death. |
|
| 12.) What have you gotten out of GotStang? since joining? |
|
| Lots of fun! |
|
| 13.) What is your favorite TV show? |
|
| I'm old school, but I love any thing related to Sci-Fi. Star Trek is my favorite episodes though. |
|
| 14.) If you could have any Mustang what would it be? |
|
| I would take a 1969 boss out of all the mustangs ever made. |
|
| 15.) How long have you been a Mustang enthusiast? |
|
| I have been since the day I could remember. My dad use to have a 69 fastback and was hooked off of that. |
|
| 16.) Whats your favorite mustang related video? |
|
| Gone in 60 seconds, the original. |
|
| 17.) What auto legend have you met or would like to meet? |
|
| I would want to meet Steve Petty. Not much of a Nascar fan these days, but I always watched him race when I was younger. |
|
| 18.) What is your goal for your Mustang (drag car, show car,etc.)? |
|
| Goal of my car is a true DD that can run low 10's in the 1/4, but still go to any car show and place. I know that I would not be able to take first place, paint job won't last that long at the track. I'm working on a well rounded car that any one can get in and drive to Walmart to get something and yet blow the person next to them off the street. Still get the attention off all the on lookers as well. |
|
| 19.) What else would you like to see on GotStang? |
|
| I would love to see more with the JFO's. For example, get rid of the 500 points rule, that was in place to protect people, now new people that come on board can not get challenged from the older members. Now the older members should know not to beat up on a new person as well, but if the that classifieds there car, their website should be up to par. Also would like to see the option of going up against a person that on lost to before. We all have mustangs and always upgrade them. A person may challenge another and loose by a very close margin. Say that the person loses and goes and gets some rims per say and wants to challenge them again to see how they will fair, but the can't do it. Now I think they should be able to rechallenge as often they want, but must have a three month waiting period. |
