Alloy Dave Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Let's hear everyone's opinion on this...we have some disagreement. I'll save my opinion for later since I don't want to affect the poll results. Based on the outcome of the poll, we could agree on some changes if necessary.

Gerry Chase 1128 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 It might be easier to wait for our Shelby's than to stay on topic. I'm pretty confident this group doesn't get any sense of pride from being compliant, and I feel stricter guidelines may hinder the exchange of valuable and humerous information.

Alloy Dave Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Ok, the votes are in. My opinion all along that was "yes", we do get off topic, but that's just part of the nature of the forum. If someone is talking about dyno mods, and someone mentioned that they made dyno mods on their Terminator blah blah blah, then the next post may start asking about what color their Terminator was...and thus things get off track. However, I do understand some of the frustration relative to a lot of posts about things that don't seem to add a lot of value to the more "serious" posts. Therefore, I'll try to do a little better about keeping on topic in those more "serious" posts. I'm willing to try that to make the overall forum a more enjoyable place for all. However, I also see the forum as a place to have fun and laugh...so I'll continue to "cut up" copious amounts of fun....I'll just try to do it in threads that seem to have been started in that direction. I'm likely one of the few people on the forum that has very little knowledge of previous Mustangs (I had a '67 289 Mustang car many years ago...but have been a Chevy guy ever since the late '70s). As such, I can't add much to the technical talk...but I have learned a great deal already from all of you...and for that I'm grateful and appreciative....thanks. I do however, have quite a bit of knowledge about cars in general. I've built my '69 Camaro from a rolling chassis, and done every piece of mechanical work myself. I graduated with an Automotive Technology certificate in Cincinnati in 1983, was ASE certified for 4 years, was a brake, front-end, suspension, and alignment technician for 6 years, worked as a DOL-certified Journeyman technician for 8 years at the Research Center of a major diesel engine company building prototype diesel engines (prefer not to disclose my company, but you can easily figure it out on your own), and have a B.S. in Engineering (I won't mention the MBA...that tends to get "boo'd" in this forum). Now if I just understood the Ford ordering system as well as isellfords and FiveOH. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 ...or is a post in a thread about being off-topic always on-topic by definition? Dave, a great book to brush up on Mustangdom: Mustang Buyer's Guide 1964 1/2 - 1978 (2003/Brad Bowling). It's $24.95 but Barnes & Nobel has it on clearance right now for $5.98 (it's worth every cent at $24.95). Every year/model is separated out, including all Shelbys and each contains a writeup and pix as well as a garage-watch (what to look for/be careful of, early tag locations, tips, options/codes, engines, etc) ratings (collectability, reliability, etc) parts (street prices, etc), reviews, specs. Appendicies in the back for engines and performance. Well done book in a nice simple format. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
