  • Power Window Fix

    Crank windows are so last millennium. Electric windows, once considered an extravagance, are now routine even in cheapie econo-boxes. Who can be bothered to hand-crank a window down when we’re so busy with chow, java, chat, text, GPS, and iPod? Oh, yeah, and driving.

I’m talking about an oversized, full-color magazine slammed full of high-powered feature cars, tech, restoration, and fix-up articles you can actually use, and realistic performance stories that don’t center around some 6-second, triple-turbo, 1,500hp, machined-from-billet monster motor.

    I’ll never build, drive, or probably even see a 6-second, triple-turbo, 1,500hp, machined-from-billet monster motor, and I’ll bet you won’t either. So how about if we let other mags get geeked up over that stuff ? Fox Mustang Magazine will focus on more realistic stories that help make the Fox Mustangs in our driveways better cars right here in the real world.
