The fall has been very busy for NEGMC. In addition to attending national and local shows, NEGMC held its 46th annual regional show in Maggie Valley. We have also continued to host our monthly club meetings and outings.

To kick off the fall, NEGMC was well represented at the MCA Grand National show held in Fredericksburg, VA over Labor Day weekend. It was a great show with over 450 cars.

Our September club meeting was held at Sparky’s Machines in Loganville. After the meeting Chris Agee hosted the club for a pizza lunch at his shop just down the street. We got to see several nicely restored cars and works in progress.

The club had a great turnout at the Chip Foose Bash held at YEARONE. The club was able to take a nice group photo with Chip and several of our Mustangs!

We then headed off to Maggie Valley on the first Saturday in October. It was another successful regional show with 180 cars attending and we received many donations for our Charities.

It was impossible to warp my head around the idea that after

years of loving Mustangs, I could be lucky enough to have my

own by the end of the day.

We got to the dealership and sitting right on the front was a

beautiful bright Competition Orange 2016 EcoBoost. I like to say

it was love at first sight because I knew that it was the car for me.

We made a beeline for it and it was even better up close. It was

perfect.

The previous owner had installed custom heated leather seats

with orange stitching to match the exterior along with tinting the

windows and ceramic coating over the paint. In addition, it was

equipped with a great performance package. It was the car of

my dreams and soon enough my dream came true. On the best

birthday I’ve had to date, I went home with my very own

Mustang. I’ve had the Mustang for 5 months now and I drive it

everywhere.

When I first got my Mustang, my neighbor Steve Harrison, who is

the president of the Northeast Georgia Mustang Club, came and

introduced me to the club. I didn’t know what to really expect

having never been in an actual car club before, but I was eager to

join. Steve was kind enough to sponsor me as a member and

told me that I would be the head of the Youth Mentoring

Program since I was technically the only person under 21 in the

club.

The Youth Mentoring Program of the Northeast Georgia Mustang

Club is a great program where older members of the club take

younger or newer members of the club and teach them about

Mustangs, such as the history of the car, how they’re made or

the differences between each model and build.

Soon after I joined the club, my first ever car show was coming

up at YEARONE Muscle Car Parts. I entered my car in the

competition and while I didn’t win anything, I learned a lot about

the club and met a lot of interesting people.

Ryan is the youth coordinator for NEGMC. He recruits and

provides support to our younger members and was

featured in the July edition of Mustang times. Ryan has

been very active in the club and will earn the President’s

award for 2019. Below is his story.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for

Mustangs, but as a Junior in high school most people

don’t expect me to be lucky enough to have one I can call

my own. When my dad was my age, he had a 1981 LC

Coupe, and then later had a 2000 GT, so maybe it’s just in

my blood.

When I was old enough to start driving, I spent two years

studying and obsessing over Mustangs. My parents knew

that I had a love for the car, but they had differing

opinions on whether or not I should be able to have one.

My dad, having owned one when he was my age,

sympathized with me but both he and my mom were

understandably concerned about how a 17 year old

would handle the power of a muscle car.

Eventually, after many long discussions and a PowerPoint

presentation even being made on why I should have one,

they decided that if I even were to get one, then it would

be an EcoBoost, because they thought a GT to be too

powerful. I had absolutely no complaints, because it

meant that I had a chance at getting a Mustang of my

own. I spent months looking at both new and used

Mustangs for sale, but couldn’t quite find just the right

one my parents and I could agree on.

On my 17th birthday, my parents took me up to the local

dealership to look at Mustangs, because they considered

me responsible enough to get my own. On the way to

the dealership, I couldn’t stop fidgeting for a single

second with the excitement.

I even ran into the couple who owned my car before I did,

which was a really cool experience. They had owned

EcoBoost for two years before selling it to buy a 2019

Roush Mustang.

At the car show and through the Youth Mentoring

Program, I was immediately put to work helping with the

show. I was put in charge of helping direct traffic and

parking cars, which was very interesting and fun to me

because I got to see all of the Mustangs that came in.

The show was a huge success and lots of fun with over

120 cars in competition.

The next phase of my training was installing rocker panel

stripes on my car. Several of the seasoned members

taught, helped and instructed me how to install the

strips. I did my research on line and even watched the

installation video several times. I was so impressed at

how much I learned and how well the installation went.

Ever since joining the Northeast Georgia Mustang Club I

have had nothing but great experiences. I love being

surrounded by people who share a common interest with

me as well as being able to learn more about my favorite

car, the Mustang.
