Yup that is right, the Boss 302, as Ford stated was a 2 year production run. Much like the 2003-04 Mach1, it set its place in Mustang history and is out just like that.

We are sad to see it go, as it is one of the few very exceptional naturally aspirated Mustangs today, excelling at everything it does. But on the bright side, we can’t wait to see what Ford comes out with next.

So we are doing something a bit different with the upcoming December Mustang of the Month poll. Normally we choose 3 member rides that look awesome, and let the community vote it out to see who wins. This time however, we are giving you a month to come up with 3 images of various scenes or different angles of the same scene, except your normal Mustang isn’t in the picture. Ah the twist you think…..

This time we are letting members get creative with their toy Mustangs. Doesn’t matter what kind, size, type or anything, find creative ways to put your replica Mustang into scene and snap a good pic. We will not be limiting this to 3 members this time around, we are welcoming all entries.

To get more of an idea, and submit your pics, please see this thread on the forums, as all submissions will come from within it. http://forums.themustangsource.com/f764/december-2012-motm-homework-thread-515323/

We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Don’t forget, voting for November MOTM is currently underway here: http://forums.themustangsource.com/f764/november-2012-motm-515322/

A group of young individuals from the McGill University Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) team got a chance to get up close and personal with the performance minded collective at Ford this past May. In working with SVT’s Shaun Day, Chris Prahacs (faculty adviser to the McGill FSAE team, and former FSAE team member back in his day) and the group of students were able to spend a day at various locations, all in the name of adding fuel to their already burning automotive fire.

Shaun and Chris both met online through TheMustangSource.com Forums, which ultimately led to putting together educational based outings for the students.

I shed a tear when I ran across this story. It’s one thing to see a modern day super car wrecked, especially when the owner is ripping it up on a track somewhere enjoying what the machine was built to do, but to see arguably the best US made super car, a 2005 Ford GT, chopped up for profit by someone too lazy to make an honest living; that is just unforgivable.

Originally reported by U~T San Diego, the $250k piece of work was stolen in June, recovered in July along with two Porsches and other merchandise that from what the photo gallery suggest, appears to be on higher end of the art scale.
