SOUTHERN STIG –2022 MUSTANG ONE THING I REALLY ENJOY IS TRACK NIGHT IN AMERICA.

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

Throughout my life, I have owned several Mustangs, each one a little different than the last. To me, a Mustang is more than just a means of transportation - it’s a part of who I am.

Today I own a 2022 Ford Mustang HPP. The first thing most people will say is, “Why didn’t you get a GT?” Well, for me it’s more about the enjoyment and how I feel in the car. Also, the first car my Dad bought for me was a 1984 Mustang that was white with red interior. I lost my Dad last year and while having service done on another car I saw this one. The look alone brought back so many memories and I knew I had to have it.

One thing I really enjoy is Track Night in America. I have participated at Carolina Motorsports Park in SC and most recently a rainy Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. I may not be the absolute fastest out there but I’m in my Mustang enjoying the ride.

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 Ford Mustang will always hold a special place in my heart. Mustang is a part of my story and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

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.

Not much on mods yet. Just got it in November so I have done the following: rocker panel stripes, hood stripes, SpeedForm GT350 style track pack rear spoiler, tinted windows, and SpeedForm tail light covers.

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