Claim it if its yours...like I said, not one face to put with car. Just recongnized them from seeing them here or from some sigs on here.

nice pictures. I saw a ton of nice Stangs on the road today around the Canonsburg area. I saw 2 nice fox's across the street from Washington Ford at that Sandwich place. I keep seeing a 08-09 White Cobra, A fox at the intersection by Booby Rahal BMW with Flames. Just awesome Stangs all day, to bad I was in the truck.

What I can't figure out is did all those people really drive from Indiana, Florida, Mass., Conn., NJ...etc....all for this 3 hour car show????

If so, I wish I had their free time...LOL

Flyin Monkey's GT500 is even nicer in person!

I agree with everything you said here. I apologize, even though I had no control over what the dealership set aside for us in the way of parking. I tried to explain to the people running the dealership that there wouldn't be enough room. I brought 24 cars in at 8:40, and there wasn't enough room for us then. I was under the impression, for the past 12 months, that we were going to have the better part of the front lot, all the way around the corner of Manifold Road and Rt 19. That plan was killed at the last minute. Believe me, I was not happy about it at all.

Yes. Those people really did drive all that way. No, it wasn't for a 3 hour show. It was for a 3 day event, with multiple activities Friday through Sunday. The show at the dealership, I thought, was a way for me to bring traffic to the dealership. I honestly thought I was doing them a favor by bringing people in. Turns out, we aren't really wanted there.

My bad.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience at the show, and even sorrier that my name was associated with that bad experience.

Again, my apologies.

Oh. I agree that Adam's car looks great in person.

Greg...No hard feelings at all!

The problem was with the dealership the way I saw it.... One guy in my "group" brought his 126 mile 07 GT500 and due to the lack of parking, had to park it near the showroom. After they asked people to move their cars he moved it closer to the show area and a dealer employee told him "he'll be lucky if his car doesn't get hit while parked there." That was enough for me to leave early and find some food.

Atleast you had a nice weekend's worth of weather for the event for all the out-of-towners.

Thanks. Like I said before, I was not happy with the higher-ups at the dealership.

The weather did cooperate for the weekend.

Here is a shot of the 20+ at my house later on Saturday:

Greg, you can try your best to plan and it never works out haha...as soon as I saw you guys come rolling in all at once I thought to myself what a shame it was that you guys were gonna run out of space...and it was your own event!

Thanks for the nice time regardless...met some really nice people. Wish I could of met some of the other SCS people, but that is what you get for knowing cars and not peoples faces. Gathering like this one are more my speed...you can come and go as you please and very relaxed atmosphere.

Here's a pic of mine too. It’s the red GT500 in the upper left hand corner...lol. I arrived late, my fault.

Greg, It was good to finally get to meet you. How do you like the new TB?

I enjoyed the event. Some awesome cars! I really liked your vert. Who had the flat black GT500 from Florida with the Agent 47 items? One of the more unique cars that I’ve seen. Very nice! Thanks.

SteelTownStang...sorry I didn't grab a pic of your car.

With all the GT500s there I didn't know from sigs and pics who was local and who wasn't. I was sitting in Jimmy Johns when you left, car looked really nice...I remember yours cause of the windshield banner.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 06-28-2010, 09:28 PM

The L&M is a vast improvement over the monoblade. Drive-ability is much better now, especially at low RPMs. Don't know if you got to meet Jim LaRocca, but he is the L of L&M. He's probably forgotten more about tuning Mustangs than most tuners know.

The flat black car belongs to another Greg, from Tampa. He's put a lot into getting the car to where it is. I believe a full Griggs suspension is next on his list. His car is too attention grabbing for my taste, but it suits him, which is the important thing.

You can see from mine that I prefer the stealth approach. Mine garners almost no attention when I drive it. I like it that way. It looks very stock, but is far from it.

Nice to finally meet you, too. A few of us were talking about getting the locals together a couple times this summer. I'll keep you posted.
