Hey guys, I am glad to see that there is a thread on here for the upstate! I am new to the area (sort of, grew up in Brevard NC, so not far from here) and just moved to Spartanburg. I have a lot of 'mustang' friends in the area that I met through different forms of social media (mostly instagram) and am trying to get involved with the car scene here as I get closer to having my car back in my possession. (currently wrapping up a 2 year long build)

I did want to let you guys know that I am planning a meet in the upcoming months, and would like to invite anyone who wants to come. I am shooting for the end of February/beginning of March, but I will know a for sure date when I have my car back. The catch to this is that it won't actually be in Spartanburg. All of the locations I tried to get were denied permission, so with that being said, I am hosting it at my dads gym in NC. It is roughly a 45min- 1 hour drive up the mountain, but he has a gravel lot with a large grassy area next to/around the building. Large enough to hold 150-200ish cars if lined up right. There is also more parking across the street, and we are working on getting another grassy area next door as well. All in all, we are expecting a very large turnout, as I have received a huge amount of interest through instragram.


As of now, the plan will be for all of us to meet somewhere in Spartanburg, and cruise up together. For those who are interested, please follow my Instagram @kline2012, as that will be my primary source for sharing info about the meet. I will also update this thread with the exact time/date and addresses for the meeting point in spartanburg and where the meet is in NC.

I really hope some of you guys will come out! It's going to be a good time.

Kline,

Welcome to the upstate, I look forward to hearing more about this meet. Hopefully we can do more things as a group once the weather warms up. I want to get back into taking pictures so everyone start thinking of places we can go lol.

Random question for you guys. I'm needing to get the simplest of things done to my car and was wondering what is a good shop to take my Cobra too to get it done. What are some good shops in the Greenville area?

Hey guys getting ready to place an order for amsoil. Anyone need anything? I checked 5w20 and 2 gallons came out to $65 not including shipping or tax. An oil filter was around $10. I'd like to place the order by Friday.

For some reason they don't seem to offer 5w50 in gallons. 8 quarts is $68.80. I got an email from amsoil, this week only I get free shipping so with sales tax let's call it $72 I'll ship it to my place and I can meet you or you can pick it up.

Sounds like a good deal. How many quarts are the newer Mustangs taking nowadays?

Not sure where you're located, but Danny's Muffler in Fountain Inn does good work.

Fountain Inn isn't too far from me, it's about a 30 minute drive. I'm in the Taylors/Greer area. Thanks for the heads up.

Between 8 and 8.5 quarts usually. It helps when you can split tax/shipping. I'm not in it to make any money just help members when I can since I already purchased a membership.

Holy wow, I wouldn't have guessed that.

That is certainly nice of you to help out like that. They are a good name brand.

Weather is getting warm so it's time to get this thread going again. Anyone have any cruising plans or shows/etc? Decided to keep the GT500 even though we are building a house, even talked my wife into a 3rd car garage!
