Looking for Cobra sites (I had a 93 Cobra) and started off with typing 93cobra.com, 94cobra.com, and got to 98cobra.com and saw this and happen to be local too.
Very small back then....

I found a funny craigslist ad that had some whack mustang and a crazy looking dude that said money talks.
Damn, I posted in that old thread too! Funny how you think back and wonder exactly what you posted and why.

I think it was Joe (sac5.0) that got me to check out the site in 2001 ish. I browsed a lot before joining. Most of us older sac people have been into mustangs for well over ten years now. Like Daniel said word quickly spread amongst us about the site.
Ive met a ton of good people on here.

Was looking to buy a 2000 GT so i was lurking, getting as much knowledge as I could. Then met up with both Brians, Harold, Rob, Matt, all the old school guys for meets that would start at Brian's house. Those were the good old days using GSS-342 in a returnless style system in the supercharged GT/Cobras! Those guys were cutting edge with all the mods to their cars super early!
I even remember heading up to Griggs once watching some tasty movies in the back of Harold's truck to pickup Matt's car.

I was partingout my first stang and 2 dudes came over and were hella debating against eachother over what was better trick flow twisted wedge heads or afrs.. One the guys I forget his name told me about eastbayracing when it was actually a legit site and then somehow I heard about cafords from that site too.. The guy was a white dude that had a 79 pace car he was building up.. I think a lot of people knew him. He ended up parting the car out for some reason.

One of the best, if not the best car on the board right here. I bought some parts off you way back in 2003. Thing is a BEAST lol.
I do remember at one of the Cal State Hayward events, that you were behind us about 6 cars leaving and all you could hear was that prochargers whine.
