  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    It was the end of summer last year in New Orleans. Me and my buddy J-POP are hangin out at the lakefront with a few drinks, passing time; the Galaxie is all dressed up with the top down. After a mild and eventless evening, we venture home to St. Bernard (a suburb next to the city) via I-510 when two sets of indigo headlights make their way right behind me. I hear a couple of fart pipe revs and the two cars pass on my left like their fumes don't stink. I asked J-POP if I should take 'em. He told me "You can't let them get away with that..." So I gassed her to about 70 and made my way next to lead car in the formation. I put the tranny in neutral, gave the 390 two good revs (WOOM-BLOW, WOOM-BLOW), dropped her into second, and mashed the accelerator as far down to the floor as it could go. If there's one thing I like about the Ford, it really does quite a dance from 70 to 120 (0-60 is a sad story). So the top's down, the speedometer is pushing 115, sand is flying off the floor, and I take a look in my rear view to see where I stand: I saw nothing! I slowed down a bit and looked back: nothing! The chumps backed off and took the first exit! Oh well, at least they got schooled in style. I can't wait to break down the Buick and send another kill story. Rice-burners are like flies around here... I like swatting flies.
