New guy from Massachusetts

Hello everyone...

My name is Ron, and screen name is DaGonz. I am new to this site, but I am a member of other Mustang websites. I am also a member of the Silver Mustang Registry and the Mustang Car Club of New England.

A little bit about me... I am a 30+ year veteran of the Fire Service and hold the rank of Deputy Fire Chief with my FD. I drive the "Fire SUV" and I am in command of group made up of 18 firefighters (one of 4 groups in the Department).

I also work per diem for the State's Fire Academy, the Civil Service testing division and for a private ambulance service. I also own my own seasonal automotive detailing venture (I open in late March and run through November or longer, depending on weather). I am a clean car fanatic... my wife thinks it borders on OCD!

I've been married to the same wonderful woman for 32+ years. We have 1 son and recently became a grandparents of a beautiful baby boy as of May 23rd!

We are a "Blue oval" family. My daily driver is a white and silver 2009 F-150 XLT supercab, wifey drives a 2007 dune pearl metallic Edge SEL AWD and my automotive pride and joy is my 2006 tungsten gray Mustang GT which I purchased new in May of 2006.

The Mustang has a a few minor modifications.. the performance mods are a BBK cold air induction system with a Bama Tuning performance tune for premium fuel. Appreance mods include painted rear quarter window louvers, painted mirror covers, a balckout panel and a Stack racing shorty antenna.

The Mustang is put away for the New England winter. As of this post, the car, which I named Lauren Renee (the name we would have given a daughter if we had one) has 19,307 miles on her odometer. I have won three awards from the Mustang Club of New England with the car to date. I love putting her in car shows.

Here are a few pics of Lauren Renee and I... enjoy!

Welcome to the site brother. I was also a firefighter at the former Fort Devens and then Southbridge Fire before retiring in late '05. I'm also a member of MCCNE/MCA and local group but not very active right now due to a host of reasons but I was going to the monthly meetings in sturbridge and made a few of the very early national show meetings.

Nice cars and welcome.
