Winners Circle.
Some of you might have been a bit taken back by my post earlier, where I expressed how I felt at that hour based on some circumstances that took place last night, which is understandable. It’s not every day that you visit an automotive blog in which one of the authors is talking about his personal life, but I’ll tell you why I did. I don’t view the people who visit our site, you, as simply followers. I like to think of each and every one of you guys and gals as my friend. The support you show by continuing to help us grow and evolve is something that isn’t created by mere strangers, but instead it’s much more relatable to a family. I appreciate all of you and I’m thankful you enjoy what I provide you with what I’m into when it comes to this industry, like the Ford GT in this post. Perhaps some of you can relate to my words, we’re all human after all! Later!

Like A Boss
As a car enthusiast, I am genuinely embarrassed to admit that up until this past week, I did not know the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca existed or anything about it. Upon hearing about it from a co-worker, I had to go home and research this beast to see if what I was hearing was fact, or fiction fabricated by a couple Mustang fanatics.
Needless to say, I am impressed. Not just because of all the trick parts that make the Boss Laguna Seca a true purpose-built contender on the circuit, but the mere existence of the car. It’s inspiring for me to know that this tiny market segment is still important enough to the head-honcho’s over at Ford that time and money was devoted to making this car available. There is no way that the R&D efforts and engineering that went into building this car will pay off for Ford. And although they turned over $6.5 billion in income last year, the company as a whole is still swamped in debt with a few of it’s brands, models and manufacturing facilities facing the chopping block. With that in mind, maintaining dedication to motorsports enthusiasts by building this car is truly admirable to me.
I’ve never had a Mustang, or a Ford, and I’m not sure I ever will. They’re just not my thing. But if I ever get the opportunity to drive one of these on a track, I will be tempted.

Respect
As much as we hate to give credit to muscle cars, this Mustang GT500 is more than deserving of some attention. Coming correct with flush fitment and a “grown man’s” ride height, this beast is what the modern muscle car commmunity was deprived of.

Mustang 350z
Before everyone gets butt hurt, try to imagine you didn’t know these wheels were from a Ford Mustang and the 350z wasn’t a Nissan. That being said they look incredible, now don’t they? I’m enjoying the blending of automotive cultures as of recently. I’m suggesting you should too. I’d take these over a set of Rotas or XXRs.

Cobra Kai Dojo
It has been a substantial period of time since I’ve last attended a meet outside of the respected import community. No, not because I’m not a fan but because we honestly aren’t extended invites or aware of them. This weekend we “marched to the beat of a different tune,” a harmony of roaring Shelby Cobras complemented by a pair of Ford GTs and Mustang GT500s to be specific. As an admirer of Honda’s s2000 roadster and all roadsters as a matter of fact, I repeatedly had to clean the drool off my face as we cruised along side the Anglo-American, gentlemen sports cars to the East End of Long Island, NY.

Do Right
We tend to roll our eyes at the Tuesday night meets because of the amount of nonsense that usually goes down but being that the Summer is nearing completion we made exception to the expected antics this evening. Being an ambassador of our community I made sure to grab the Canon for your viewing pleasure.

East Coast Bash Coverage:
As many of you know French and I made our way to the East Coast Bash, sponsored by Club Loose. The event was out of control to say the least, or so it felt that way after a couple of 4 Locos. French passed out on the lawn around 5pm and was out of commission for the rest of the night. That being said, I stepped up to the plate and broke out my photography skills and my social skills so our readers wouldn’t be let down. We met a lot of awesome people and teams and everyone was more than willing to talk to us and answer the thousands of questions we had to ask them. The night drifting was epic and the beer garden rocked… The last thing I remember before driving home at 5 AM was helping some dude get his grill started, and some nutjobs with a motor home breaking down the fence. Shout out to the Pink Panty Dropper ,Rapper Wrecker Dan,Island Slide,Kenny Cano, Local Scene Media,and of course the guys over at Stunnr Status!
Get ready for photo overload…and stay tuned for video !
