Weird thing happened yesterday. I took the kids to Spring Creek for some BBQ. It was great as usual (I think I could eat ribs everyday). As we were leaving, this older guy ( early 70's maybe ) asked me if I had my car painted or if it was the original paint 
. I think he thought it was an old stang with new paint. He and his wife told me it was beautiful after I told them it was the original paint. I was kind of dumbfounded at first and when I realized that they didn't know it was a new stang it was too late to tell them since they walked off after I thanked them. I guess kudos are in order for Ford.

That's a good story tread!
I'm glad you guys liked the picture!
Sorry to hear about you having a hard time selling your house Ghost. I think I would have a hard time selling mine if I had to relocate. That's one of the reasons that I would like to stay around here so that I could keep my house.

Ugh, the felt on my drivers side window is finally letting go! I noticed a nice sticky glue streak on the window yesterday.
I guess I'm going to have to buy something stronger. I was really surprised it lasted this long considering the heat we had this summer but, it's strange that it let go when it's actually cooling off now.

I love Spring Creek! One of the better BBQ joints around if you ask me. One of the many food places I'm missing up here in Sherman. Sweet story. I always like it in general when people compliment the car. That's nice that the retro design was so easily recognizable that the couple flashed back to the original!
That is wierd that it's (the felt) going when its cooler.
I have yet to redo mine with the felt I bought online. Need to do that. The passenger side is still fine. Probably should just redo both. If you take yours off to redo Tread, may I suggest a good rub-down with Goo-Gone before you re-adhere it. Need to get that old residue off...then use alcohol to get the Goo-Gone off.
I spent this weekend tiling the bathrooms. First time ever for me to tile. Tiling = easy, Grouting = teh suckage.

Thanks for the tip on Goo Gone. I ordered that moleskin stuff from the tint thread yesterday. Is that the same stuff you ordered? You can have the tile job all to yourself. I've had to replace a section of vinyl tile before and that was bad enough. Luckily my brother has experience with ceramic tile so he will get to do it if I ever need it.

Ya...I ordered the same stuff. It'll be 1.25" wide and like 4,000' long. More than enough to do both windows. In fact, they suggest cutting the piece in 1/2 lengthwise 'cause its so wide.

Car Show and Free Drag Racing
Here some info from another Mustang site for a Car Show and FREE runs at the Drag Strip. It's sponsored by North Texas Nissan.
North Texas Nissan Car Show and FREE Drag Racing
NTN - DFWStangs Car Show & FREE Drag Racing - OCT. 22
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUNDAY -- OCTOBER 22, 2006
10:00 - 2:00 -- Car Show at North Texas Nissan
2:30 - 7:30 -- FREE Drag Racing at Denton Dragway
North Texas Nissan and DFWStangs are proud to present the Second Annual NTN/DFWStangs Car Show and FREE Drag Racing on Sunday, October 22, 2006.
It's time again for NTN's big "thank you" to DFWStangs members. Accordingly, the dealership will host one of North Texas' largest car shows. Attendance and registration is entirely FREE. Every known car club in the north Texas area will receive an invitation. Last year's attendance was enormous. This year's will be even larger.
Immediately following the show, there will be the Mother of all caravans from the dealership to Denton Dragway. The dragway is located approximately 12 minutes north of the dealership on I-35E. The dealership has rented the track for the exclusive use by those who attend the car show. Vouchers for free admission into the dragstrip will be handed out at the car show. Even if you don't actually have a car in the show, you'll get a voucher so long as you attend the show.
Parking at the show was tight last year. We simply had so many cars show up that we ran out of space! This year, we'll be clearing almost the entire lot (apx. 10 acres). Even so, I encourage everyone to show up as early as possible (even as early as 9:00 or 9:30) to ensure you get a space. Parking will also be provided for those who are trailering their cars.
North Texas Nissan is easy to find. We're located at 5650 South Stemmons Freeway (I-35E), Corinth, Texas. Here's a link to our website: North Texas Nissan
Denton Dragway's website is: Denton Dragway
Here are a couple links to a few pictures from last year.

Kewl! Thanks for the heads up!
Been a busy weekend for me. Tiling is done though.
Now...we're getting the carpet replaced in the Sherman house to hopefully get rid of the smoking smell. Ugh!

Well, I had some fun at work last night! I got to wrestle a 300lb naked lady. She smoked too much crack and freaked out 
. She kept yelling something was trying to get her and kept trying to push us out of the way so she could run outside butt naked. We finally got here subdued and handcuffed so Medstar could load her up and take her to JPS Hospital.

OMG!!! Did she actually fit in the ambulance??? Daaamn...your "fun" at work beat my fun at work any day.
Sherman PD allows for ride-alongs, so I gotta set that up and see what the local populace does for "fun".
My fun yesterday was watching the flooring get installed. Wife had to go to Fort Worth so I took the day off. Wasn't unproductive though...re-installed a toilet and put in some quarter rounding...as well as watching them work.

I was rolling down I-35 Tues night and saw a set of headlights coming up behind me at high speed. I was wondering how long it would be before they thought "Hey that looks like a Police car." They got to about 5-6 car lengths behind me (1 lane over) when the lights suddenly pointed straight down when they hit the brakes
. I had to pull them over since I know they were doin about 110-120mph. They passed me still doing about 80mph. Anyway, I made him sweat about it for about 5 mins. Then I also told him he had a traffic warrant at which time he about fainted. I told him to take care of it and slow down. He was showing off for a girl in the car.

My car didn't get any awards, but got a lot of looks and spoke with a lot of people about things I've done to it. Was a great time.
I'll be at the Dallas Mustang's car show next Saturday morning as part of the Black Mustang Club's corral there. If anyone has their Saturday free and wants to enter a show, come on out and be part of this huge show.

That's pretty cool that you got Chip Foose to sign your car Danny! You've a great job with it. That bad thing about working nights is it's almost impossible to get up early for shows.
dslimbizkit-- I wasn't at the show but, welcome to TMS.
