Go, I think you'll enjoy it. Even though it's a Ford event, most of the people there will just be car enthusiasts who like to get together and talk.

Some people only see what they want to see. I'm not slamming anyone, so don't get your panties in a knot. It's just amusing to me.
I assume you are referring to me... regardless, I do see the obvious similarities between the 97-03 Grand Prix front clip, and the GTO front clip... and I stated that from day one, actually.

But, yes, yes.... we know... the 2005 Mustang is not retro at all, and it looks more like the 2004 Mustang than any other. Wait-a-minute... What's that sound? "Dee plane! Dee plane!!" ~ Tattoo, Fantasy Island.

But I'm 6'3"??? I'd have to be Ricardo! I'll even talk with a funny accent for you. Actually, my comment wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Besides, I NEVER said it looked more like the 2004 than any other Mustang So, not sure where that came from.

BTW, look at this Seriously, besides there being four lights on the front, there's not a whole lot that's the same as the 2005 GT.

That may be the best Star Trek movie ever made. He played that part soooo well. Did you see the original series TV episode with him and how that all started?

Edit: I may drive the El Camino so I'll be easier to spot if any other board members are there.
You need to come out to the Bellevue Mall Cruise-in Tommorrow at 5PM. There will be over 200 cars there including the Nissan Z club of TN and my Mid TN F-bodies club.

http://www.mtfba.org/meetings.htm scroll to the bottom, there's a map

I expect we'll even get some more mustangs than usual too due to the celebration being in town.

Ya, I don't wanna knock this too far off topic, but ya, ST II is the bets of the entire series!! It's just full of great lines and stuff!


Ricardo was sporting the cool long hair in the original series episode where he debuted waaaay back when!

Wrath of Kahn is hands down the best, and I like #1 better than most too.

in #2, Shatner still can act, and he hasn't begun to gain weight and generally become a charicature of himself. Its got drama, humor, space battles, lots of gratuitous shots of the beautiful Movie Enterprise (best looking ship of all the generations IMO).

Now we're WAYYYY off topic

Totally agree about the movie ships being the best looking ever!

Also, the STII and on uniforms were the best.

What made those movies great was that the space scenes were done with models and not computer animation. CGI has come a long way but ultimately there is a texture and realism you get with the models that CGI cannot simulate....but its cheaper so that's what we get these days.

ST: Nemesis suffered from too much CGI I thought...was like watching The Last Starfighter or something...

ST6 Undiscovered Country was a great plot, and a decent film, they were all just too old to be taken seriously at that point. I like TNG but they never really got the great script in the movies except for the Borg one. Still doesn't approach the "epic" feel of STII.

ok...I'm done....back to how much the Mustang Sucks!!!!
