I want to see more foxes on mm&ff!!!...

ill advised said:

Yep. I bought MM&FF and 5.0 faithfully during the 90's. Back then the latest issue couldn't come soon enough. Now when I see one on the rack I'll quickly browse through it but rarely do I find them worth buying.

+1, I was a subscriber from 88 til the early 90's when I raced my 5.0's, but Novembers MM&FF has the most Fox stuff I've seen in a long time. Didn't we discuss all this last winter?

Actually if I recall correctly the last two years now... at least.

I kept all the really good old ones, but I also bought the various books(they don't make anymore of those either), but the occasional MM&FF like November's issue are about all the print there is anymore, good thing there is a StangNet for info

I too have been a faithful subscriber to 5.0 mag for many years but when each issue arrives i wonder where the hell are the foxbodys, the first thing i do with a new issue is quick scan the mag for foxbodys then i shake my head and start to read from the cover but i notice each mag takes less time to finish before it hits the pile in the bathroom.

It isn't so much the fact that the Mustang magazines don't feature a lot of Fox stuff that irritates me, it's how they push their sponsors/products. I've lost count of how many times they've skated around talking about the flaws in a product just to promote it. Watch for builds that have a component failure or don't come out as expected and notice how they will NEVER state the name of the manufacturer that made the faulty part, or they will just avoid saying that the part was faulty in the first place, and substitute it with another with little explanation. It's disgusting. I guess don't bite the hand that feeds, right?

the only thing ive seen worth while in mm&ff is the interior rebuild theyre doing on that green notch, i wanna see how they end up fixing that **** map light... cause mine doesnt work anymore. btw new member dont be alarmed.

Haha, same here. I quickly scan for Fox Body features or friends' cars, then I put it on the stack to read when I get some downtime. I don't bother reading most race car features or any tuner build articles. I do read every 'normal guy built a car' article though, regardless of the body style. I like that stuff considering I am that guy. After getting through those I read the editor columns, news, race coverage to see if anything exciting is happening, etc.

50&SF and MMFF I will always have as long as they're around. Modified I let expire since they changed format and I'm finding much, much less that interests me as the articles go on (I'll still check 'em out at the store in case something is really good though, but for $30+ a year for a sub I'd rather buy 1-3 at $5ea when the want arises). Mustang Enthusiast offers a free online copy of their magazine so I keep up with that. I think I still have a while on my subscription to them anyway though.

Car Craft has on the first page you see a blue notch lifting the wheels this month, very cool 1 page homage. Fastdriver has a sticky set up for submission of old print, I've submitted a couple, but I'm technologiclly challenged, and have none of the equipment to hit him with more. Yet. Soon as the motor goes back together, I will. I keep telling myself that. Prolly not. It just ain't that important at my house!
