TWINKIE- 2022 MUSTANG CALIFORNIA SPECIAL

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FEELING OF DRIVING HER AROUND TOWN...

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Meet Twinkie. She is lady owned, lady driven, and has won several awards including Best in Class. She was custom ordered, factory original with Active Valve Performance exhaust.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

We have been a Ford family for over 20 years. As a family we have owned several Mustangs but they were my husband’s or my kid’s – not mine. When I saw the local Ford dealer post a mischievous purple Mustang for sale, I knew it was time for a vehicle just for me.

I drove several Mustangs on their lot and could not find just the right one – then I saw the black on black with red accents GT/CS. I asked the dealer to start the black on black Mustang. The moment I heard her start I knew she was coming home with me. The rumble was (and still is) soothing to my soul.

I am so glad I was at the right place at the right time for this Mustang. I realized, after I purchased her, she was not just any regular Mustang – she was a California Special. Not knowing anything about California Specials I took to the internet and came across a great group – California Special

Worldwide Mustang Club who helped me fully understand what makes Twinkie so special.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!

I absolutely love the feeling of driving her around town, going to car shows, talking to people about what makes Twinkie different from your everyday Mustang, and being part of the family of California Special owners and the larger family of Mustang owners.
