Let’s out do last year.

Pony News May 2016

A pril was a busy month loaded with a wide variety of activities. On the 9th we participated in the Daffodil Parade by supplying transport for the Educators of the Year, VIP's such as Rhubarb, the Taco-ma Rainier's mascot, a council member, a couple of Sea Gals, royalty

from Canada, their float was in an accident on their way down to the parade, and of course, our ever popular Special Unit. We had a great time. A big thank you to Korum and Lakewood Ford for allowing us to borrow a couple beautiful convertibles for the day. Your car show committee was been hard at work collecting sponsors, donations, raffle items, contents for the goody bags, and vendors to make this year's car show one of the best yet. The t-shirts are in and they look great. Contact Missy Willert or Nancy Freeman if you'd like one, or ten! If you have any items you'd like to do-nate for the raffle contact Joanie Nordlund. Check out the current Volunteer sign up sheet later in this edition to see where you can help the day of the show. April 17th was National Mustang Day. Monika Kirkland organized a great day; she even made sure that Mother Nature gave us fantastic cruising weather. This event was so well attended, we had several non-members participating too. The LeMay Museum welcomed us with coffee and donuts as well as a photo op to kick it off. With such great weather and so many cruisers, there were a few unavoidable glitches. We would like to put together a "Cruise" kit with some items such as walk-ie talkie radios. So if you have some of your own, and if you don't, they can be pur-chased very inexpensively, it's a good idea to use them to communicate during a cruise. Make sure you let Bill Norman know if you plan to attend the Winery Cruise, as he will be supplying sandwiches. Remember, wine tasting is not required, but fun and fellowship is. Our Friday Night Dinner Out was another hit. Due to some logistical problems, we changed the location this month to The "New" Old Spaghetti Factory. They took great care of us on such short notice and the food was delicious. This month we will be going to Farelli's Pizza. A group of us spent a few hours volunteering at EFN repackaging 5,600 lbs of fro-zen peas. I think we have all had our fill of "Frozen" and pea/pee jokes! We had a good time. If you haven't joined us at EFN yet, you might want to consider it. We will be going back in the fall.

Korum Ford has asked the Club for help moving cars for the “Wallup in Puyallup.” We did this last year and it was a blast. We will meet at Korum on Thursday, May 12 at 6pm to move cars from the dealership to the fairgrounds. On Sunday, May 15 at 7pm we will move them back to Korum. If you are interested in helping, please email me (pcmcpresident@gmail.com) with the day(s) you are available to help by May 6. Coming up this month we have: 3rd-Board meeting 10th-Car Show Meeting, @ Bill Norman's, everyone is invited 15th-Rainier Winery Cruising and Tasting 17th-General Membership Meeting 20th-Friday Night Dinner Out-Farelli's Pizza Hope to see you at one of our events this month,

MCA Update – Nancy Freeman – MCA board will be having a meeting at the end of April for a By-Law vote. The first By-Law change – When a new treasurer is voted in to office, there will be an audit of the books. The second By-Law change – MCA wants to have a 3 tiered mem-bership.

Associate – no Mustang Times, still have ven-dor benefits, enter MCA shows, but no vote and can’t hold office. MCA is trying to draw new members.

1991 Mustang LX

Mr. Ugly is a 91 Mustang LX Hatchback, 5.0.

I grew up in the mid west 45 minutes away from a drag strip so Foxes were very popular. My plans for the car are to drive it till the wheels fall off. The only upgrades I plan on doing are safe-ty and performance, hence the cars name. Last winter I completely overhauled the suspension and future plans are to replace all of the steer-ing components.

Pony News May 2016

I was wondering what to write about this month when a very cool piece of membership news came across email.

Jim, Debbie and Landon Lively are PCMC members. Landon is a junior at Seattle Chris-tian School and is part of their robotics team. Here is what James wrote about Landon and his team:

“They [the Robotics team] compete against 148 schools in the PNW area...most much bigger and well funded. It is with First Robotics. A great program to spread STEM [Science, Tech-nology, Engineering, and Math] throughout the public schools and community. VERY big deal and very competitive but teaches the best mo-rality to the kids and gracious professionalism. They got funding from NASA and other large corps as it takes about $40K just to start a team. They won the Rookie All Star Award as well as the Industrial Design Award. This is al-most never given to a rookie team as it recog-nizes excellence in engineering, design, and build.”

“Not bad for a first year team and it all started with building mustangs………”

Sincerely,

James P. Lively

Young people find their interests and future ca-reers in many ways. It sounds like this young man may have found his in the family garage. When I asked James, he said that Landon wants to study aerospace engineering.

Go Landon!

Those who have built their own cars, rebuilt old one’s or repaired them for show, daily driving or whatever the purpose, know that there is a great deal of reward in seeing pieces come to-gether. I have had the pleasure, as an educa-

tor, of watching these First Robotics teams come together, and build, compete, win or not, grow and share their common interests. The fact that the Mustang might have had any part in this experience for Landon and his team is that much more exciting.

This also makes me wonder if this story is just the beginning. How many other young people can find their passions in various aspects of re-building or restoring classic cars such as the Mustang? I see young people with great car en-thusiasm that is just bubbling under the surface as they are not yet sure what to do with it. I met a 4 year old not too long ago that was looking at a muscle car and telling his mother what kind of car it was, “no, it’s a b’cuda, Mom.” In Lan-don’s case, “all the robotics and love for build-ing has come from an appreciation of these old classic automobiles,” says James.

Landon has grown up with this passion. According to Jim, Mustangs have been “a lifelong love in our family. In fact I [James] still have my original 1969 that I got when I was 16 years old.” Growing up around cars and restoration, it isn’t hard to imagine where Landon’s interest has come from. The family currently has a 1989 that they have / are restor-ing and Landon bought his 1st Mustang last year, a 1967. They “completely rebuilt the en-gine, transmission, suspension, interior, differ-ential, etc.”

Pony News May 2016

March Events

Daffodil Parade April 9

Sure there is fun in rebuilding an early model Mustang, especially as a family, but that isn’t all of it. I recently heard it said that restoring cars is about the saving of art and history. Mustangs are pretty young in the classic car story, but what history can we save with these cool cars. The art and beauty is certainly there. Congratu-lations, Landon. You have wanted to be a PCMC member since you were 10 and now you are and may I say, you are an inspiration.

Maybe it is just because we recently purchased a mid-50’s Ford truck that we will be rebuilding to a degree, but I think we have several mem-bers, such as Landon and his family that might be able to teach us a thing or 2 about this pro-cess.

What do you say? Share with me your tips.

Let’s start with finding the right car to begin the process. How would you go about find-ing it and bringing it home?

Yellow, yellow every-

where you look. What

a beautiful sight as the

area welcomed in

spring with daffodil’s,

marching bands, royal courts, goats, floats, and

many other groups as well as perfect parade

weather.

We had about 20 some

cars meet at Burger

Ranch to begin our pa-

rade day. Thanks to Terry

and Deborah Howells

(club members and spon-

sors) for opening up early just for us.

Though it was a bit of a bumpy start, the parade

itself was a great success.

Royalty: Tom Hen-

On the special units side, our coupes started as

7 in Tacoma, grew to 9 for Puyallup, shrunk to

4 for Sumner, and ended with 3 for Orting. We

lost some to other commitments including

meals, and some manuals sacrificed their

clutches for the cause.

Jerry Murphy organized 3 young men from De-

Molay who faithful-

ly, through all 4

parades, marched

in front of us carry-

ing our banner. I

think they were a

little tired and somewhat sunburned but

seemed to be enjoying themselves. I don’t think

it hurt that we were marching behind a float

with young girls on it and 2 behind the

“cowgirls” and their goats.

We heard shouts to “rev ‘em up” to which sev-

eral gave the crowd what they wanted. Lots of

cheers, “nice cars,” and “wows” as we moved

through the streets of the 4 communities.

There was even some education as parents

could explain the difference between one kind

of pony and the other

or one kind of horse

power and the other.

All-in-all it was a

fun day with lots of

sun and lots of smiles from old and young.

Hopefully you were able to get out to one of the

towns to catch us live, but if not, maybe you

were able to catch us on Kong TV; they did a

rebroadcast of the Puyallup leg of the parade.

From Missy, “For those of us that drove educa-

tors this year it was fun to hear the crowds in

every city cheer, clap and yell out accolades.

As a teacher, it was very nice; we don’t very

often get that kind

of treatment. “

We have to send

out a special

thank you to

Korum and Lake-

wood Ford. They

each loaned us a

convertible to drive in the parade. Whether or

not members drove only thru Tacoma and

Puyallup or went all the way thru Orting, we

had a great time.

National Mustang Day West Seattle Cruise April 17

What a great day to

celebrate the Mus-

tang in Washington

state...lots of sun,

perfect cruising

weather. So perfect that instead of 20 cars we

had 44...club members and others who saw our

post and decid-

ed to

“crash” (pardon

the pun) the

cruise. Fun for

all.

From this

members perspective, it couldn’t have gotten

any better!

Fabulous job,

Monica Kirk-

land. After 3 or

4 trial runs on

your own you

ended up with

the most cars we have ever had on a cruise and

we all ended up at Claim Jumpers for lunch.

We were

invited by

Lemay

America’s

Car Muse-

um to stop

by for a pho-

to op on the

Plaza. I am not sure we could have gotten an-

other Mustang into our space. We had coffee

and donuts and took several photos of all of our

members and cars in front of the museum.

As we traveled through the beauty of Des

Moines, Burien, Normandy Park, and West Se-

attle we saw the

Sound, lovely neigh-

borhoods, and

….wait….what is

that? Another Mus-

tang Club coming

the other way down

the same route with

what was another 20 or so Mustangs. (Pacific

Cascade MC)

The Ponies were out and running on their spe-

cial day!

Of course, it

wouldn’t be a

PCMC cruise

without a stop

for lunch. We

ate at Claim

Jumpers where the wait staff did a great job

with this larger than expected group. It was

such a good time, we had a couple become

FNDO The Old Spaghetti Factory April 22

Pasta, bread, soup, salad, dessert...No one left

hungry.

The Old Spa-

ghetti Factory

welcomed 18 of

our club mem-

bers for our

monthly dinner out. The service was great, the

food delicious, and the conversation, as always,

full of fun and jocularity. At my end of the table I

heard everything from where you can get the

best customized peanut butter to “it doesn’t mat-

ter what the show is...it is Tom Selleck.”

Don’t miss our

next dinner out

on May 20 at

Farrelli’s on

Canyon.

Emergency Food Network April 23

Never at a loss for things to do at this club!

Saturday morning, 15 members showed up in

Tacoma at the Emergency Food Network. EFN

repackages foods to be distributed to food

banks around the area.

We have done apples, oranges, squash, oats,

and corn just in recent trips. What will it be this

time….I can still hear the 4 hours of scooping,

bagging, dropping, and the unlimited and unfil-

tered jokes….PEAS! Cold and green, peas.

We repackaged

5600 pounds of

them. All while

listening to great

tunes and non-

stop puns.

In all seriousness, it was great fun for a great

cause. I will say that I saw few being thrown

which I couldn’t say for the oranges.

After packaging we all went to Ivar’s for a great

and well deserved lunch (no peas in sight).

(All pea-ed out)

(They made me

say it!)

Hooked on Driving

Hooked on Driving (HOD) is a community of indi-

viduals who share a passion for driving their cars.

With a focus on safety, coaching, learning and

fun, HOD drivers are able to experience their cars

at a higher level on a track than would be safe or

prudent on the public highways. As a result driv-

ers gain a new appreciation of their car – its capa-

bilities, strengths and weaknesses; as well as

their own skills as a driver and the need to devel-

op those skills. If you would like to test your skills

or learn new ones, contact Don.

In Memory of Eric Cobb

On September 9, 2013 club member Eric Cobb

lost his fight with cancer. He was only 26. Eric

had a gentle heart and a kind smile. He was a

Ford man. He enjoyed showing his 2003 Black

Cobra and his 2013 Blue with Black Striped

GT500 (Best of Show at the Korum Mini Show

2013). Eric and his dad, Dan restored his grand-

pa’s 1967 F100 that they showed together. He

loved to talk cars and work on them with 1988

Fox Body and 1964 Galaxie 500 projects. Eric

loved to humor me as I told him about all the

Pierce County Mustang Club adventures coming

up, and he even let me drag him to some like the

Poker Run and Relay for Life. He made a large

impacted in all of our lives and hearts.

We miss you, Eric.

Fun Facts: (from Pete Freeman)

The phrase “rule of thumb” is derived from

an old English law, which stated that you

couldn’t beat your wife with anything wider

than your thumb. (There was no mention

of what the husband could be beaten

with.)

Trivia:

Q—Prior to 2012, how many years was

there a BOSS Mustang?

A—3 (1968, 1970, and 1971)

Shinoda was asked what project he was working on and he said, “the boss’s car.” Therefore the name, BOSS. Homage to Bunkie Knudson.
