Newbie... in many senses of the word


Hello all, I'm new here at the forums. My name's Josh, and I am a Mustang lover. I've loved the car ever since I was a kid, riding around in my parents' '66 Fastback. I bought my first Mustang a year and a half ago, a 2004 v6 (still makin' payments). I know very little about modifications and even less about cars/engines in general. But over time, the mod-bug has been biting at me, making me want to learn more about mods - and cars in general.

So, I guess my first question is - where is a good place to start learning about.... well, cars! Drivetrains/Chassis/etc... Any good books or informational websites anybody can recommend to me? I read through mustang magzines, but my lack of knowledge of cars makes much of the technical articles appear in a foreign language to me. I am hoping to change that!

welcome to the forums. Your best bet is to use the search option. Curious about gears? type it in the search. Nitrous? Search it. you are not the first person to ask the questions and not the last, so the search is your best bet. Good luck bro. Any pics of the stang?
