Pony Car Issue

I enjoyed the Mustang articles, although I'd like to see a more balanced approach. All the Mustang-related content was for the S197 generation - where's the love for the SN-95s and Foxes?

Are you kidding? Most of those cars (with the exception of the Camaro) were close to supercar performance and better than 20 mpg hwy. They ARE economy cars!

Attainable economy cars!

Life is more than $2000 cars and more than 55mpg WOV Beetle autocrossers. Life is about figuring out that the benefits of owning a motorcycle and a GT500KR are greater than owning a MS3 when your fuel costs are measured in over the life of the vehicles.

That wasn't an accident. I'm glad someone noticed :)

Christ you guys are a bunch of whinners, do you need some cheese? I read every issue front to back no matter what the content. I always find something interesting and useful in every article even if it is about the one car in the world that I will never ever ever own....a Miata.

I can't really say much else because I have yet to read anything from this issue, but I'm sure it isn't as bad as most of you are making it out to be. And gas prices? Contact your local speculator and tell them TO STFU.

exactly what I did to. they said that they were going to cover more vintage fords other than 'stangs, but were too slow and thin in the changes, and alot of the articles were more like infomercials.

I will forgive grm for the exess mustang coverage if they offset it with falcon, comet and maveric coverage. and less miata

You can't please everyone all the time. Hell I don't like everything in all the issues BUT I like enough of it to get really annoyed when my post man is say 15 minutes late with my next issue!!.

May be it is just me but I still think that the latest issue of GRM was a tad better than the latest issue of Creative Knitting !!

Oh I noticed...the girl too!

Glad to hear she's doing so well. She really got the shaft on American Hot Rod. I suspect Jo C. saw her replacement coming along, just like she did to the first Mrs. C.

As a Mustang driver, I enjoyed it. Of course, If those were all Miata articles, I'd probably feel differently.....

Seriously, I'd hate to see that kind of saturation on ANY brand with regularity, but you guys keep a good mix going. That's one of the reasons I read it.

Me? I read every issue Back to Front!

Anyway, I did notice this morning as I was sitting on the can that I had already finished all the articles, and normally it takes me a bit longer to do that...

I guess thats a good thing!

i dropped mine back in '04 or so. too much repetition in articles, read like an advertisement with no tech. just didnt have that fun spark anymore.

WORD!!!

Yeah I subscribed and then they stopped doing tech articles that weren't just advertisements for some compan's products. Gone were the days of the in depth junkyard swap tech articles.

I dumped MM&FF when Vinnie Kung left. Eye <3 Vinnie.
