CVMC Cruise In At Paradise Road Speed And Custom Shop – April 23rd! CVMC had a Cruise In at Paradise Road Speed & Custom Shop on Saturday April 23rd.
We had a good turnout considering the threatening weather. We had about 11 Mustangs show up. I would say about half of them were first timers.
I would like to thank Wes Wolf for having us at his shop. He gave us a tour of the facilities and it sure looked first rate.
I wish the weather cooperated better. I hope we will be able to have another cruise In at Paradise Road Speed & Custom Shop. I highly suggest that everyone try to make the next one.

CVMC Member Steve Coleman Wins The 2005 Pony Drive Badge Contest! Well, it was close by two votes. I want to thank everybody that voted for me. I was really shocked that I won, their were a lot of real nice badges that I was up against, I worked hard on the Great American Pony Drive Badge contest and It paid off. I took into concentration what I would have like for a new Mustang emblem (badge) for the new 2005 Mustang it would have look real nice on that special edition Pony.
Thanks To Ford Motor Co. we will not be getting one now. Who knows maybe Ford will wake up and see that Chevy lets there Corvette customers see their cars being built and maybe have the compassion to do it for their Mustang customers.
By Steve Coleman
Congrats Steve on a job well done!

CVMC Condolences! On March 27, 2005, CVMC lost a long time member and a really great guy. His name was Alan Brough.
Many of you may remember him as a quiet guy with a mustache who always had a Mustang hat on and a smile on his face. He also loved his pipe. Alan was a member of CVMC for 20 years.
CVMC extends our deepest condolences to Alan’s wife, Kay Brough and the Brough family. We will miss Alan very much.

Virginia MCA License Plate! The Roanoke Valley Mustang Club (RVMC) was able to get a Special License Plate passed in the Virginia General Assembly using the MCA Logo. The following is what was sent to me…
Great news!! The Virginia General Assembly has approved the MCA plate. The plate will have the Mustang Club of America logo and will say Mustang Club of America. It will probably look similar in layout to the Harley Owners Group plate; check the link below to see what it looks like.
http://www.dmv.state.va.us/exec/vehicle/splates/info.asp?idnm=HOG
You DO NOT have to be an MCA national member to participate in the plate (though, MCA membership is encouraged by our club). We now must have 350 pre-paid orders within 180 days (6 months) before the plates can be made. If we are unable to reach the 350 plates required, you will get your check back! Roanoke Valley Mustang Club as the sponsor must submit all forms throughout the state. We are limited to 6 characters for specialty plates. Please check out the Virginia DMV website below to see which 6-character combinations that you are interested in are available if you do not have already 6 characters or less. You can check your combos using any specialized plate. The website will tell you if that combo is available or not. You can request up to three choices. Keep in mind it will be no problem to update your current vanity plate if you have 6 characters or less. You also do not need to personalize it, and can order just a standard MCA plate with a number on it.
http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/plate_search.asp
Out-of-state members can participate by ordering what is called a souvenir plate. This plate is for display only and not for use on a motor vehicle. Only a single plate is issued. The form needed is VSA 10, available from the DMV website below.
http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/vsa10.pdf
You must specify on the form which type of plate you want, and where it says “check type of plate” indicate “other” and write in Mustang Club of America. Please mail your completed application and check to...
Suzanne Beels
500 Daytona Drive
Hardy, VA 24101
I can also be reached at 540-309-8980
I will have copies of the form that you have to fill out at our April Meeting.

News From The CCCCVa
By Fred Fann
The polls for the president and especially the Congress are not good. The majority of the people don’t like what either are doing. If the baseball steroid hearings, the Terri Schiavo case, high gas prices, Social Security reform and the other stuff Congress is involved with gets your blood pressure zooming then you should sit down and take a deep breath before reading further.
I’m sure you’ve heard of MTBE, the gasoline additive that is supposed to lower air pollution. MTBE is a byproduct of producing gasoline. A byproduct that the oil companies had no use for until they “discovered” that it would help oxygenate fuel and reduce air pollution. So the oil companies lobbied Congress and got MTBE in gasoline - a useless byproduct that they could now make lots of money by selling.
We all know that MTBE has a big problem. Unlike gasoline it mixes easily with water. MTBE has fouled the ground water in nearly every state. Boats burning gasoline with MTBE have put it in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, etc. Some people can’t drink their well water because of MTBE. Some communities have had their water supply spoiled by MTBE.
The House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is fighting hard to make sure the oil companies can never be sued or forced to pay for even one thin dime of the clean-up needed to get MTBE out of our water. Not only is he fighting to keep the oil companies from even helping with the MTBE clean-up but he has proposed that the oil companies be given $1.75 billion to help phase out MTBE production by 2014.
This means that Congress went along with giving the oil companies a way to sell something useless (except that it has done an outstanding job of polluting water) and at a time when oil company profits are at a record level they don’t want the oil companies to bear any of the clean-up costs and then they want to give them nearly two billion dollars because they have to stop production of this poison.
Put that on top of the fact that the lawsuits against the makers of MTBE state that the companies knew it would pollute our waters. Perhaps they
thought that with the right influence in Congress they could duck any responsibility for the pollution. The real topper is they want to be paid to phase out the poison with our tax dollars.
Even the conservative Richmond Times Dispatch has called for the resignation of DeLay. In 2003 the Bush administration tried to get the MTBE language out of the energy bill without success. The Senate had to kill the bill to prevent the MTBE items from becoming law because the bill passed the house.
What is the alternative to MTBE? Ethanol is being used in place of MTBE in some states. But years ago Congress picked MTBE over the farm grown alcohol.
It’s time you let your representatives in Congress know how you feel about the issues they are considering. I think that people get elected to Congress and once inside the beltway they forget who they were elected to represent and take hand outs from lobbyists. They only seem to remember us when it’s time to raise money for another election. It’s time we let them know what we think of what they’re doing.

Dave’s Mustang Trivia
By David Lythgoe
-
What is the wheel base for the 1979 to 1993 Mustangs?
-
What is the wheel base for the 1994 to 1998 Mustangs?
-
What is the wheel base for the 1999 to 2004?
Rick’s Tip’s
1965 to 1973
Emergency Flasher Switches
The flasher switch is the switch in the glove box that when turned on operates the emergency blinker circuitry that makes your lights blink on and off. This switch is used when a person breaks down on the side of the road and alerts people driving by that someone is near the side of the road.
These flashers are no longer available and the used ones have been bought up. They are easy to fix.
The metal case can be pulled from the plastic case and the contacts can be cleaned. Care must be taken to put the switch lever back in the same position it was in when it was pulled apart.
The trick on these is to wrap the 2 halves of the switch together using a piece of wire. I like using safety wire but any wire that keeps the 2 halves together will work.
If you have any questions please feel free to call ma during the day at 804-321-5383. I have MCA and SAAC judging experience to help with difficult questions you may have on your car.
Happy Cruising
