I don't know if there are in folks in the Dallas area who read this, but Dallas Mustang near Garland had a big open house this weekend. It was a little over-hyped in my opinion, but I was there early.

They had about 5 or 6 -- 65 - 67 Mustangs, maybe 10 -- 69-73 Mustangs, about a dozen or so 90's models, and one black 05 GT with a custom stripe. Not much to see for the 05 or 06 crowd, but it was really great to see those early 70's models. Oh, they did have a Ford GT on hand, pretty cool to see up close.

They had advertised free food, but I didn't see any, and they had a raffle, but you had to be present to win and it seemed pretty unorganized.

It was really cool to stand out in the parking lot and listen for the rumblings of several cool Mustangs drive up and down the road, including several 05's.

AND...

I made a run out to the State Fair today. Expected maybe to see an 07 Shelby Cobra prototype or something. Absolutely dissappointing. All they had was an 06 GT convertable and a v6 hardtop. No hints of anything to come. Of course they had a Ford GT on display, but I had already seen that the day before.

I did stop at the GMC truck display with my father who has an 06 Chevy 2500 HD on order. After asking a few questions, the guy asked us to fill out a survey and they gave us some cool GMC baseball caps, not cheapies, but really good ones. If you go, it's definately worth checking for.
