Default First Mustang race

So, I'm cruisng home tonight, minding my own business. I pull out from the store pretty quickly, and the rumble from my baby must have sparked someones attention. I look in the rear view and see someone pass a car, in a no passing zone, to come up on my rear and ride my ****. Ok, I think I'm not going to play the tough guy with a muscle car. The car in front of me slows down to turn, and I look back and what do I see, a hood scoop. What do we have here? A red 2004 Mustang. So at a dead stop, we both punch it and 10 seconds later he's a good 50 ft behind me. Had to be a V6. Or stock GT. At the light I headed left, him straight. He gave me a thumbs up, which again, made me realize that owning a Mustang isn't just about having a fast car, it's about being a part of a brotherhood. Is that too cheezy?

Welcome to "Stang satisfaction. I get challanged a lot in the Baltimore area. Owning a Mustang is belonging to a brotherhood. You should try to find a local cruise or Mustang club in your area. There is more fun in having a Mustang than just driving it.

That os so true. I've been trying to find a local Mustang club. Surely haven't been putting in the effort to find one, but does anyone know where I can find a club here? Also, being the newbie that I am, how do you get every post to list all your mods? Is that by puttin them in you sig?

Great story. Although I don't feel the "brotherhood" here in Northern VA. Whenever I waive or flash the lights at another Stang, they either ignore or look at me like I'm from another planet.
