My Mustang Family

[Jacostang]

I just thought I would throw this out there.

I have had many friends over the years and I still keep in touch with a couple of high school buddies but I have to say that this piece of machinery called the Ford Mustang has brought me more than just transportation. I joined the Copperstate Mustang Club about 5 years ago at the request of a friend. I went to a board meeting and it has been great ever since. The people so diverse in careers and politics but come together to enjoy our Mustangs and it has brought me so many more friends than I could ever imagine, good friends! Now even more here on the HPS site. I sit down and see all the new friends I have here, I feel like I have known you guys for a very long time. I have not met all of you yet but I will and I know many of you are all over the world so that is going to be a tough one but someday we will all meet.

In the past months I have spent more and more time with “My Mustang Friends” as my wife Denise call all of you and we sat down and chatted about it. Dee is finishing up her nursing degree this year and she is either working or in school but she said something the other day that really started me to think… She asked me if I ever thought that when I joined the club that I would have so many friends?? I am completely blown away now and I know why… When I go into my garage in the morning, the first thing I see is my 06 GT and in it I see all of you and all the smiles and laughs of the past weekend! You have all made a huge impact in my families life, really I don’t know if you ever think about it but you do. Connor and Cameron really love you guys, all they talk about is how much fun they have when we are all together and when we will see you again.. Last weekend I was so proud to bring home the club trophy from The Jennabear’s Show. It just shows how much you really care as a group. The past weekend with the Rock & Roll Show and cruise was just absolutely fantastic!

You all know who you are and now, and now you know just how important you are to me and my family. I am not just talking about Members of the CMC but all of you here on this site, I consider you all to be

“My Mustang Family”

I agree with you Dave. I knew only 2 people when I moved out here. Now the majority of friends I have are all related to mustangs and this site. Rock On CMC and HPS.

Couldn't agree more!

It's funny how one's life can change in just a few years! From a tragedy in my life 3 years ago I have made new friends now. And it's all because of a Black 69 Mach 1 that has been a part of my life for 28 years.

How true, great post Dave!

[AZSonicSnake]

great post dave! some very true words there. i was thinking about that same thing on the way down sunday. just what a great time i had and how thankful i am for the group of people i am around. i have been around a few cars clubs, and none have been as rewarding as this group. what a great group, and the fact that we get out, have a good time, and never have issues with drama, its just unblieveable. i love it. i feel so proud to say i am a copperstate mustang club member, as well as just a mustang owner in general.

im feeling the same way i love all the activitys and have a lot of fun i missed out on before i joined the club and also thumbs up to jeff to bring this site together with the club.

Can you feel the love? Okay, group hug everybody...

Very well said guys. I can only agree 100% on this one. Why else would I make the trip from Prescott to Phoenix EVERY weekend other than to hang out with all you great people?! I am 1200 miles away from ANY of my family and only see them twice a year really. I know before I met Tony I didn't know what to do with myself here up north all the time with not so real friends and now I'm down every weekend because I love you all so much. It is just something beyond words to be able to share something you're passionate about with a bunch of other people who share the same feelings. You can't beat that!

But past all that, this is just a really amazing group. As Tony said, this club has none of the BS or drama normally associated with most car clubs. None of you guys put each other or your cars down and none of you look down on other types of cars really. Everyone here just really appreciates a true gearhead and the effort and work put into a car, no matter what it is. That's what I love... and I have seen people in the group go out of their way to help other members without even a second thought. How cool is our club?!

I may not have been around for long but you better believe you'll have a hard time getting rid of me!
