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

THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS IT WAS CLEAN...

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!

The Mustang I have now is what I plan to keep forever. He runs well, sounds strong, takes corners like they are not there, and he is beautiful which many people tell me. When I saw this Mustang in a car lot, I stopped the car I was driving and walked over. The first thing I noticed was that it was clean, it had 97,567 miles on it, and wow that it was low. I walked around it; it was perfect I thought. I negotiated the price for a few thousand dollars lower than their asking price. It was a rainy day and they had it for a long time during the winter months so they wanted it gone. With the money I saved on the car, I put a new top on and tinted the windows. It made it look like a totally different car. I am from the Muscle era days when you had either a Chevy or a Ford. I really liked the Camaros and Mustangs.

My dad and ex-husband built their Chevy dream cars, with a Corvette or Camaro to go fast and put on the biggest wheels. It took a man to drive them. I did not enjoy driving them. It was not fun. When I was out on my own, I found my first Mustang. It was normal, not the biggest engine or the biggest transmission. It was a nice drive. So, I kind of liked the Mustang and I love the one I have now. It is going to be my forever car. It is not driven every day, just special occasions and Mustang cruises.

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.

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

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!
