OT: Classic Mustang Forum like this, with similar "culture" and attitude Options

[FriarJohn]

Well, I've stashed my two 914s behind the (new) garage and tarped them all up for the time being. Honestly, I may never get to them. I'm not quitting 914s but I might just buy one in very good condition in a few years and junk my two current rust buckets. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

I'm going to focus on my '65 Mustang for a while. I've got some resources locally for information on these cars but I was hoping to find an online community like this. I was lucky to find a great site for my motorcycle, so I'm going for the trifeca with a cool Mustang forum. I don't want a forum with a bunch of vintage-only snobs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif). I'd rather fall in with hot rodders and/or the resto-custom or g-machine types. People who still think their cars are for driving (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) , not museum pieces. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

These are two types of forums...

Yeah, it seems to me that there are forums for mainstream cars, your mustangs, camaros, WRXs, 911s, corvettes, etc. Then there are forums for the oddities and underdogs, this forum, bonnevilleamerica.com, etc.

With the former, there is either a larger diversity of members, so it's more like high school, all cliquish and stuff, or in the case of the high-end cars, it's more full of asshats. But it takes commitment and fortitude to own an underdog. You're constantly under attack from those other guys and that helps unite the underdogs. Just witness what happens when some 911 jackass comes in here trying to start shit. He gets pounded.

My opinion has been validated by the V8 hybrid forums. The asshats with their 911s and 944s are divisive, always with the arrogance and prickishness, and the 914 folks don't seem to bother as much with it (the exception seems to be talking about the new WRX conversions).

So I don't really hold out hope of finding an exact equivalent mustang forum like 914world.com or BA.com, but I thought I'd try asking here first. I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions.
