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.

Volume 2019 Issue #3 Fall 2019
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.
