Has anyone seen that the Stampede made GM inside news?
They don't have too much nice to say, but no press is bad press, right?
Feel free to tell them how you feel.

We also had a little e-mail from Fordracing.com that mentioned us and our trip For those who are not members to FordRacing.com, here is the excerpt.
Calling all Pinto Owners: Prepare for the Pinto Stampede!
Plus, You Must See the Polish Mustang Club's Cool Video!
The Pinto Car Club of America (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=905&F=H) is aiming to corral Pinto owners and enthusiasts across the country for a five-day Pinto Stampede (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=889&F=H) to the June 3-5 Carlisle Ford Nationals' (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=65&F=H) 40th anniversary celebration of Ford's first domestically produced subcompact car. The 1,660-mile Pinto pilgrimage (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=909&F=H) starts in Denver, CO, on May 29 and ends in Carlisle, PA, on June 2, with several memorable stops along the way before joining the largest Pinto display ever assembled – including coupes, hatchbacks and wagons of all vintages, plus autocross, SCCA, drag racing and other custom modified Pintos. So prep your little pony and join The Pinto Stampede (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=891&F=H). Not only can you party with fans of the popular-yet-much maligned '70s economy car (which topped 3.1 million sales from 1971-80), but you'll also be able to raise funds to benefit the "Wounded Warrior Project (http://email.adsmart360.com/link.php?M=19142&N=489&uid=1723&L=884&F=H)" for U.S. military veterans. Too cool!

It's funny... the forum thread for the GM thing started out snarky (reminds me of stuck-up high school kids) and then the opinions softened. The one dork who said his dad had one, and that it was the car that was ALWAYS breaking down... well, it got me wondering... perhaps the dork mistook that car for a Vega... just a thought... ::)

Either they had a pinto with a motor other then a 2.3 or their lying. Cause every 2.3 i have owned (atleast 6) have went to 250k my ranger went 385k and still ran with Under 20 compression on all 4 cylinders.I just replaced its motor not to long ago i wanna see if it can do 300k again if it does/doesn't it'll get a 2.3T!

The best part I like about it is that they took the time to talk about us.
