There's a cool little Stang show on the Seattle waterfront this Saturday. In past years, there's typically been 30 or 40 Stangs lined up on the pier. This year, because of security concerns with a cruise ship in town, they said only 20 cars, and they can't be on the pier. No biggie, still a neat little show on the plaza in front of the pier. I was asked to bring my 66 down as one of the 20 /forums/images/icons/cool.gif.

Well, I got a call from the show organizer saying that there's now concerns with terrorism via underwater demolition along the Seattle waterfront. Local authorities said only TWO CARS would be allowed on the plaza (hell of a car show, huh?). Terry negotiated with them and got it up to 10 cars, but Mine won't be one of them /forums/images/icons/frown.gif.

Sad, huh?

Soooo... the terrorists are going to see the couple dozen classic Mustangs and want to blow up the hoards of people gathering to see them? You'd probably get more folks at any given time at the local Costco.

Oops! I shouldn't have said anything. Now they'll only allow 10 people at a time in the store.

PS: Ah, it's not supposed to be nearly as nice this weekend anyway.
PPS: Any Seattle area vert owners: I hate you. I love my hardtop, but this is one of those rare weeks when I wish I had gone for a vert.

Am I the only one that thinks the FBI is going a little over board. Theyv'e uncovered our plot to spend years restoring our mustangs to just to blow up a cruise ship. I would ask where's Mccarthy but I think he changed his last name to Ridge. Youv'e give up more rights and privacy than most people believe. Well I got to go and dig a bomb shelter in the back yard. Maybe if I stay there for the next 50 years this will blow over.

Does this mean that you're one of the "Good ole boys" now?

That sucks. But on the bright side, more time for "honey-do's"

Maybe the governor thought you said Mustafatang's Show and thought it was some middle eastern variety act that involved cars in some way.

They just sort of called me out of the blue to have my car in the show, I never asked "why me". I think the club may be making an effort to pull us "fringe" members closer to the action. I hear they're going to be contacting you soon to host a "how to strip off undercoating" clinic in your garage. Better get ready!

Gasoline and a propane torch, right? /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

That'll give 'em something to talk about!
