Hell no you can't cruise anymore. The cops have killed that, wait let me fix that. The stupid ass kids that think they're the shit have killed that by street racing or flooring there dumb ass Honda everywhere. It was cool back in the day cruising Sunrise, I think thats what I miss most about mustangs.

It happens. Caford's website doesn't have a mind of its own. Its the people that post that carve how the website is viewed. I sought Cafords as an alternative to corral.net just to get ideas and or information from guys that were local to me(still a member or corral.net since 1999 so I have been into mustangs before some of you guys were even driving:). Nowadays I see Cafords as the "Jerry Springer" of mustang websites(entertaining some times, but dull most of the time. Mustang tech is kind of thin and a lot of times the major posts are about people getting ripped off or some general..I mean REAL general questions like what oil to use or where to get gears done. I mean that is like reinventing the wheel at best ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
So what do to...how about making suggestions to the mods to clean some of the crap off of the site...I have some suggestions:
*Change the "Street Racing" section name to just "Kills". The kill section is about kills..not about how we can all decipher ebonics and at the same time meet up for a street race at some undesiginated area. If you want to hook up for some safe speed testing pm each other and leave it off of the forums.
*Add a "Tech/Tune" section that involves the current tuners (ie tweecer, pms, Aem, whatever).
*The "General" section should be mustang related..nothing else. If you want to say F the raiders or niners then go to a football website. What does football have to do with mustangs?
*Make a rule for this website...how about being nice to each other:confused:
I have a bunch more, but I don't want to harp on you guys if nobody is listening ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

couldn't agree more. you know what's funny, when you see members in the 6k calling OTHERS newbies.. and they've been here for less than a year and think they are tough shit.
No kidding. Ya, many parts of the site have changed alot. Its weird being here for so long yet not knowing half of the people who post on here.
Jon,
You guys should have a X-mas party. It can be a meet the new members and car show in one ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

There is a thread of this nature about once every year or so. More drama less car talk. Also everyone I know that are into cars only play at the track. We have all been busted when we were young, as we get older we put a lot more at risk.
The sideshows have ruined the 5.0, they are so cheap the crowd that is buying them to say the least is not a good crowd. Every 5.0 you see is thrashed, I can't remember the last time I saw a clean one.

Why would the "General" section be only mustang related? Isn't this site California Fords? It's not California Mustangs???? although thats the vibe lately. IMO

it's the honda owners that are ruining cruises? did you miss the freeway sideshow a few weeks back? ive talked to/seen more idiot domestic car owners than honda owners.
there was a local meet in fairfield. it was stopped because some idiot in a chevy truck was doing burnouts. i mean, it wasn't even cool or anything. the truck sounded like shit and it was a peg-legger
