New here and referred by, who else: Grabber!
Yep, another referral from Rob (Grabber).
I'm up in the NW a couple hours north of Rob, but have been to his place for his 1st and 2nd annual Mustang/Shelby Meet & Greets at his house. I'm on my 6th Mustang now. It's a Vortech Supercharged 2007 Mustang GT. It's a real sleeper: alloy gray paint, rear wing delete, painted (not chromed) wheels, V6 Pony grill & badging, stock exhaust, etc. Most people assume it's a 210hp V6 when they line up against me, only to get whooped by 440hp pushing through a 4,800 rpm stall converter and 4.10 gears. You can find me posting on a lot of other Mustang websites out there. I've been active on the forums since 1999 when I bought Mustang #4 (a 2000 Spring Feature GT coupe). Replaced that one with a 2003 Mach 1 (azure blue manual trans). Also owned an older Mach 1, some 5.0L's, etc. Oh yeah, had a few GM products once upon a time (i.e. 425hp '68 GTO and a 550hp '72 Nova sporting a tunnel rammed '66 Vette 427). I'm a Mustang enthusiast first and foremost (note the Mustang tattoo in my profile picture). I work at a very large volume Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership as the Internet Manager and SVT/Shelby Director. I also order all of our new Mustangs and Shelbys, so I'm a ready resource for those of you who may have questions about how things work at a dealership or with special ordering cars. I see some familiar people here already, and look forward to getting to know everyone else, too!

Re: New here and referred by, who else: Grabber!
Welcome Brian! Really glad to see you over here, even with the rather dubious referral. Thanks again for the help on finding my GT500!

So happy that we're all happy with our toys. I trust the GT500's treating you well? I'm just starting to order our 2010 GT500's and am excited to see them in person. Wouldn't be surprised if Grabber's wife, Tana, gets hers before I get any of those I've ordered for our dealership.

Re: New here and referred by, who else: Grabber!
For those who don't know me, here's a few shots of my '07 GT. It runs 12.30's @ 111+ in the 1/4 mile, and will never be a corner carver. It's mighty plain looking...

Re: New here and referred by, who else: Grabber!
And since Grabber referred me here, it is only fitting that I include a picture that my wife shot of Grabber's GT500 during last May's PNWM&G #2 during our drive from his home (in Washington) out to Multnomah Falls (in Oregon). I've also included one of my favorite pics we took at his house with all our Mustangs in a circle (my GT is in the lower left between 2 white Shelbys)...

Re: New here and referred by, who else: Grabber!
Hi 5 Oh,
Good to see ya bud. I need to start planning the 3rd annual Pacific Meet and Greet soon. The 3rd Sat. in May would be the 23rd. I need to look at other events happening around that time period and plan the event. I hope you can attend again. With the economy taking a nose dive and my current job assignment slowing down considerbly, and looming lay offs, Tana and I have decided not to go into debt on a new car. She's very happy with the GT/CS and the best part is that it's paid for. I'm preparing for the worst...if a lay off comes my way. Ya just never know. Hows the car business at your dealership going? Our local dealership has streamlined their management and eliminated several positions. There is no GSM and the owner is heavly involved in running the place even more than he was before.

Hi Bryan
