Crazy. Indeed. I started lurking on this site back in late 03/early 04, while learning about the Cobra… Used to watch the racing videos. Didnt actually join till early 06.

This is virtually my only form of “social media”.

Same here, I found the site when I got my first mustang, '02 GT in 2004. Wanted to research the Lightnings and Cobras.

This site has been one of my home pages in the browser for almost the entire time I've been a member. Always loved the fact you stiff-armed the big commercial takeovers and kept it consistently relevant.

That's financially been a challenge over the years, but I think we all know the site wouldn't exist as it does had we sold out. Honestly, members like you stepping up with the membership upgrades is what makes it possible. Advertising revenue has been terrible since covid (I've never seen it as bad as it is right now), so membership upgrades have increasingly become a much larger part of keeping the lights on.

Definitely my go to forum and with the wide range of members, there is someone who has some expertise on whatever topic is brought up or inquired about.

Nice to have a conservative stronghold as well given the insanity that is the modern world.

And 20 years ago I was a freshman college student living in the dorms at UW-Platteville with about 6 weeks left in the semester.

Congratulations. Always a great site to visit. As others have mentioned, this is the only site I visit these days. Closest thing to social media that I'll get to. lol.

And in process of membership upgrade now...

I registered to become a member on SVTP. Through all the changes it's still the black and red site I remember lurking on when researching Lightnings and Cobras.


And the place hasn't been the same since... :)

Only better. Thanks for all the hard work.

20.5 years for me. I remember how valuable SVTP was to me back then. Not sure how I found the site, but I joined as soon as I order my 2003 Cobra. SVTP is as valuable (and as relevant) today to a huge multitude of Ford enthusiasts, and even non-Ford car enthusiasts. (y)
