Your 68 is beautiful,I'll bet you have tons of great Mustang stories.I look forward to talking Mustangs with you in the classic section. In terms of bear Mountain,do yourself a favor and go there at some point,it's a great show.Bring your granddaughter,They have Burgers,hot dogs and a bounce house when I go that's where I hang with my three (ages 6,5,&3 )we can talk Mustangs while we baby sit.LOL.
P.S. I took a look in the Feb 2006 issue,Very Cool. I took the liberty,I hope you don't mind.

ponyboy289 : ahh yes, that's the picture of my wife and I back in the 60s and 1971 !! I'll be trying to get the bear mnt next year again. We go there somewhat frequently on other days just to walk around. It's a shame the lodge is still under renovations, which I don't think will ever end. We used to go down for the Christmas Holiday festivities and dinner dances. I understand their Sunday brunches aren't as good as they used to be. We started going to Thayer Hall instead.
Your 'vert looks great, oh what memories.........

Hey Dudley,
The bear mountain thing is tough,I live near there and I'm lucky if I make it over there once a season,So I know where you are coming from. Thanks for the compliment on my red vert,It's about a 40 footer/driver .it's actually my wife's car, But she's lets me work on it all of the time and drive it once in a while.LOL.That's ok, I've got a gang of others to drive and work on .It's definately an illness,Hope to see you in the classic section.

I do cruise the classics section and post according to what I believe I can contribute. I must admit I am still getting familiar with the NYM website features. I have noticed that NYM doesn't have the volume of posts as the VMF, but it is understandable since NYM is regionalized whereby VMF is national/international. I use both NYM and VMF since they are both very valuable in the friendships forged and the information available. I haven't looked yet , but does each state have their own version of NYM ? It might be good to become members of a nearby state too. For instance, I am about 20 miles from Connecticutt, so there may be a wealth of knowledge and fellow Mustangers to meet close to me from a CTM website if it exists. Oh just think of the possibilities......
I hear you, I've been a VMF'r for a while, I don't know when it was started? But I've been a member of it since the late 90's or so,I've had a couple of different i.d.'s over the years.Sadly that site lost a lot of it's family type feeling when it was sold ,there was also alot of people who got banned(for dumb reasons) or left.So it changed not for the better. Myself I like meeting and B.S. ing(obviously ) with other classic owners . As far as the N.Y. Thing I'm a fan ,because hey we're all kind of neighbors and my thought is it's cool to have possibly a smaller tighter knit community . As you pointed out,we don't have the numbers of the vmf,I agree.But each new classic owner that joins up is one more potential poster .
As I said if you have any questions tech or otherwise,or want to B.S. About classics. Let me know,or better yet start a thread.
I've got a pretty good wealth of knowledge As well as some of our other members from messing with these cars for a bunch of years ,I also have a huge classic Mustang library(one of the biggest in the country,I feel) so if you ever need something for reference,etc. Let me know? Hey maybe I should make a sticky in the classic section?
I have been very pleased with this NYM site. I did not know about the sale of VMF, but did notice that paid ads were appearing in between the posts and replies, a bit of a distraction, but if it's needed to offset costs of the website, then they have to be tolerated for our overall pleasure of having the use of the website. I especialy look forward to the NYM listings for the local shows and events. I'm sure there is some information I could use, but can't think of any right now. I have a small collection of items as a library for my '68 that's particular to that year which I display with my car, and some people really do take the time to study them.
