I don't see any "pushing" going on here! This must be the same kind of person who never watches TV or listens to the radio, just to avoid having to listen to commercials "pushing" products at them they don't want. The way I see it, they can just stop whining or just go away, their choice!

This site is by far the classiest of the stang sites I have not even bothered to signup to any others, except BON - Thanks Kzinti, because of the crap and attitudes on them, my choice!

The people and the mods and the owners at this site are a cool group. I feel guilty now for scarfing up so much info and guidance to get my ride, and not contibuting, but I will, now, again - my choice.

Besides, how many other sites and their owners have been quoted in the Washington Post!!!!

"This is the best Mustang ever produced," said Brad Barnett, who runs an enthusiasts' Web site called TheMustangSource.com. "It's all-American. Baseball, apple pie and Mustang are all-American."

Great job guys :worship: And don't change a thing

I haven't read past the first page but. . .

I completely disagree with the critizisms(sp) that were sent to the site. This site has GREAT information and even if I had never visited the forums I know more about the Mustang than I ever would have without the site. Add in the forums and you have a complete encyclopedia of knowledge available about the Mustang at one site.

Besides the great forum community, I specifically like the picture references in the Timeline area. Many people who ask me about how something looks on the new Mustang I end up sending to this site due to the extensive reference pictures.

I have also discovered Grand Amercian Racing through this site. I knew nothing about it but am slowly getting interested in it and have watched a couple of broadcasts of it on the SPEED channel.

I have often wondered how the site is funded. I have seen SOME adverts for TMS stuff but have never felt any kind of product push what-so-ever from any dealer or sponser.

I personally want to publically thank all those responsible for keeping such a great site running.

Brad and Bridget, that person was NOT speaking for me. I love this site. I believe it's the best Mustang site on the web. I too love the Ford Mustang, and I bought the T-shirts, and Polo Shirt so I can wear whenever I am driving my 2005 or my father's 1966, and or wear them to car shows. Plus I am allowed to wear the polo at my dealership since it is Ford related.

By no means should you ever feel you are pushing products onto us. I personally love the 2005 silouette logo that was created for the shirts. That is one of the many reasons I bought as many as I did. That person who left the bad comments needs to get a new hobby or something. By all means he is allowed to say his opinons, but he shouldn't make it seem like everyone has the same views as himself. . Keep up the excellent work guys, the site is fantastic.

If you are pleased with the site, please take a moment to post a review at Alexa.com. If you have a complaint or suggestion, please email me and let me know.

The person that left the bad feedback about pushing our products also wrote that the site is "barely ever updated" even though four of the eight headlines on the home page were added in the last week, one was added earlier this month, and two others have been updated in the last 10 days. The other headline was added May 30, so all eight headlines have been added or updated in the last 23 days. In response to his confusion about the web site updates, I'll be adding a "last updated" date to each headline so you can more easily locate the latest news.
Sounds like a jealous GTO owner. I have never felt sales pressure on this site (besides to buy the 05 that is in my drive way ). I just want to say thanks for hosting the best Mustang site out there, and that goes to all the forum members also. I have gotten more info here than all the other sites combined. This is the 1st. place a check before making a purchase for my car. After I receive my parts, I check here to see what problems or suggestions there are for installation. Once again I wish to say thanks and keep up the good work Brad.

ps. Ford needs to give Brad an 05 or 06.

Hey Brad, Bridget,
You guys are good people - and I know what it can be like to get critized harshly (even by an idiot) for something you dedicate so much time to - it can take a hundred positive comments to just eradicate the sting. Hopefully all of the positive comments from all the other good people here are a testament to how truly appreciative we are of what you do. I for one, wish I could support the site even more. This is the first '05 Mustang site I came across and it was the only one I registered for and refer to (more than a few times a day, I might add). I have learned tons more about the Mustang, the ordering process, and mods than I ever could have on my own. This site is one of the best places on the internet, period.

I read the post and my jaw dropped. The temptation was there but I figured it was best to keep my trap shut. Brad: you OWE me one.

I'm not sure why "Pete" was raggin about this site but TMS has been a great source of info and good reading for me. I found the site about a month before deploying for the war. It was always nice to be able to catch up on everything Mustang and reading some of the more humorous posts the forums have seen. Definately was a pick-me-up during those long dust storms with nothing better to do.

IMO this is one of the best sites for real facts about future Mustangs and anything else going on inside the Blue Oval. So keep up the GREAT work and let "Pete" go make his own site for whiners only. You can be sure that when I deploy again sometime in the near future I'll be looking in to see what'll be new when I return.

More info on the California Special and Shelby PLEEEEEAAAASE!!! One of those will be parking next to my 96 GT Vert when I get back next year.

The only pressure I feel that I have received from this sight, is a highly reduced blood pressure. If it wasn't for TMS, I would never have been able to take the wait I've had for this car. I was the one keeping my dealer updated instead of the other way around thanks to info and contacts I have made through this sight. I haven't purchased any TMS merchandise yet because all my extra cash is going into getting the car at this point. But you can bet I will soon. Thanks for the great sight.

That "review" was hilarious. Really.

"Pete" has no idea how to run or operate a website. Now the little 2 hit per month blogspot about "how fast my Civic is" don't count. He must think Brad, Bridget, Scott, Nic, and I go to bed at 8pm and take the weekends off. He must know that Nic and I donate all of the resources vital to operation and Brad just spends 5 minutes with all the content on this site.

Pull your head out of the sand "Pete"!

As for the spammer response (also found in the review section), I guess that is what happens when the membership is brought to bear on a inaccurate review. You, too, need to pull your head out of the sand.

The elevator is going up ladies and gentlemen, is this your stop?
