TMS IMO is by far the best and most active forum.
In addition to what Leo listed, here's a few more that I (rarely) visit, Mustang Forums, United Stangs, Bad Mustangs Club, and of course, who could ever forget this BOF thread?

Yeah, TMS is the shiznit.

Here's something interesting about the O/R H-Pipe...

I have a member here that PM'd me saying that he had his shop weld in some resonators right forward of the rear axle. He is claiming that all drone and trumpeting is gone and that it still retains most of the O/R H sound minus the raw exhaust loudness (Leo, you know what I'm talking about).

He said that he'll send me some pics and hopefully a sound clip tonight.

I remember this like it was yesterday:

DARYL: (OKCMustnagGT @ Feb 15 2006, 09:00 AM)
Do I need to keep asking or do you just keep a list and update them automatically? I just don't want to become annoying to you.

ME: I know it's hard to wait, but you can ask for an update every 3 days or so. Some have the stamina to wait a week! But, if you get lucky like me, your car will evaporate into thin air, and you will get an automatic daily update, right Kzinti?

We didn't even know Daryl back then.

We didn't know him, but I think one of us turned him onto Kzinti's thread. I remember that because Daryl mis-typed his user ID over there.

Wow, scrolling through the posts over there, I found this one, happiest day of me and Susan's Mustang life.

Then he became "the guy with the broken down rail car". And I was "the guy with the invisible convertible".

I thought your name was 'Mr. Quality Hold'?

You take the cake for the most frustrating factory order. I can't believe still to this day how nobody knew where or what was going on with your car. We all thought it was outside somewhere just baking out in the sun and exposed to the harsh environment, it's a good thing that wasn't true.

Also, remember all the possible hold rumors (maybe some were true ) for the manual tranny, 18" Bullitts, and convertible top issues? Ahh, those were the good ol' days.

See, Leo has no idea what kind of tourment we all went through early this year.

Oh, that's right!

Yeah, like 3 days for the top's glue to dry!

OH God bring back that horrible memory
If not for that POS rail car I would have had one of the fastest delivery times, in just UNDER 5 weeks.

It's all good now... even my extra "1 month, 1 day" wait seems trivial now. I must have checked for updates 50 times a day... and called that railcar # just as often when it finally shipped.

Yea I had the railcar tracking page bookmarked. If it were ranked on hits I would have vaulted it to the top of the list.

It's on the left front with two zip ties. I'll have to take a picture for you guys. We're not crazy about it, but it works for now. When I get into the garage, we'll fabricate something else.

QMX music video

Check out this little music video I made from the QMX pics.

Don't think about bagging on my music selection either ( ), it's my wife's favorite band, Evanescence.

Great video with the mute button.

Sounds like a missed a whole lot of pain and agony. Good thing I didn't order mine I would have gone crazy waiting for it. Just the few hours at the dealership were killing me.

STRUTS!!!!!!!!!

Thats it!

Sheese , just back from the Chiro. Been in extreem pain down my right arm since the end of July , It used to come and go , but alas it never left this time....after 6-8 weeks of pure agony , I finally went to the <ready?> Doktor!!
After a butt-load of tests , The MRI came back with the verdict , buldged disks and arthritis along with bone spurs and a case of Carpul tunnel on both hands was just too much for the boy! Now I have to see the "Pain Management" specialist. He`s bonna lazer guise a anti-inflamatory into the spinal area along with some good pain medicine after I get off the dime and make a appointment with him.
Maybe I can enjoy shifting the `Stang once again.

I need the GOOD drugs!!
