1- CLASSIC MUSTANG ANALYZER NEWS
=================================
A) - UNDOCUMENTED TIPS FOR CMA 5.0
--------------------------------------------------
More insider tips for using the Analyzer.
--->Tip#11: PROGRAM BUTTONS - You should press and release LARGE program buttons SLOWLY. Wait for the button's icon image to change, then release it. This will provide enough time for large databases, files, and images to load properly.
--->Tip#12: PROGRAM IDLE - If the program is idle for three minutes, you will hear an engine sound as a reminder. This is a handy feature if you are running other apps and have CMA running in the background. Since CMA is somewhat memory intensive, you might want to be reminded to close it or minimize it while you are busy with other items. The only way to turn off this reminder is to close your speakers or mute their volume.
Note: Please let me know if you want or don't want this feature in the next update.
B) - WINDOW STICKER PRICES - 1969
---------------------------------
This is the fifth part of an on going series to present you with accurate prices to fill in to the CMA Window Sticker Maker. I have been searching for quite some time as I'm sure many of you have to find accurate sticker pricing information.

2- FIRESTONE SS20 STREET TIRES
==============================
http://www.firestone-usa.com
Firestone is celebrating it's 100th anniversary with a new tire promotion. The tire is the SS20 street tire with UNI-T (R) and is claimed by Firestone to be the ultimate in wet handling and stopping. The advertising shows the tire with raised white lettering with a profile that resembles the legendary Firehawk Indy Racing Slicks. Right now you can get a FREE Firehawk jacket with the purchase of four SS20 tires. The promotion is good until June 18, 2000. To find out more about these tires or the promotion, you can call Firestone at 1-800-807-9555 or visit them on the internet at Go Firestone .
P.S. The ad that contains all the above information was in the June Issue of Mustang Monthly and features a 2000 Mustang sporting the new tires. Since this special ad celebrates Firestones 100th Anniversary it will also be included in the classic ads folder on the CMA Gold Edition CD-R.
3- READ MY LIPS... NO NEW COBRAS
================================
Ford Motor Company has announced the official cancelation of 2000 SVT Cobra Mustang production. The decision to halt production was due to the recall of the 1999 SVT Cobras because of lack of advertised horsepower as reported here in the CMA newsletter several months ago. The production halt affects only the SVT Cobras and not the SVT Cobra-R models. ALL 300 of the R models have already been built. Ford announced that the 900 customers that have already ordered the standard Cobras will be offered 2001 models. The production numbers of the 2001 Cobras is expected to remain around the 8,000 level.
To find out what was done to repair the 1999 recalled Cobras, check out the May 2000 issue of Mustang Monthly magazine.
4- COKE TIPS - URBAN LEGENDS
============================
Source: Pony Xpress
– Remove rust spots from chrome bumpers by rubbing the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
– Clean corrosion from car battery terminals by pouring Coca-Cola over the terminals.
– Loosen rusted bolts by applying Coca-Cola to the bolt for several minutes.
CAUTION: Do not spill Coca-Cola on your car's painted finish. If you decide to try these tips it would be wise to use an old rag soaked in Coke for the battery terminals and bolts.
Coca-Cola and Coke are registered Trademarks of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company.
Pony Xpress is the official newsletter of the Garden State Region Mustang Club and was the recent recipient of Old Cars Weekly Golden Quill Award.
5- BULLITT 2000 MUSTANG CONCEPT CAR
===================================
If you have never seen the 1968 movie Bullitt, go to the video store right now and buy or rent it. Why? It has the greatest Mustang chase sequence ever filmed in it. Steve McQueen plays detective Frank Bullitt and he really drove the car in many of the scenes.
Okay, now it's 32 years later and Ford decides to honor the memory of this great car. The original car was a dark green fastback. Ford has designed a Bullitt 2000 Mustang GT Concept car in keeping with the heritage of the original. The Bullitt 2000 is finished in Pursuit Green and has new front facia, hood, front and rear lamps, and five spoke 18" wheels looking like the originals. You will also find unique new gauges and race inspired seats on the inside.
6 - FREE BOSCH DIE-CAST COLLECTIBLE
===================================
You can receive a free Bosch collectible race car by mail when you purchase a set of 2 Bosch Micro Edge wiper blades or a set of 4 Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs. You must ask for the mail in form when you purchase either of the mentioned products.
I have used the Bosch Platinum plugs in some of my 5-liter engines and was very satified with both their performance and increased gas milage.
7 - 2000 New York International Automobile Show (PART III - PHOTO ESSAY)
=============================================================
2000 FORD MUSTANG PHOTO ESSAY
---------------------------------------------
If you follow the above link it will take you to my online photo album area sponsored by BraveNet. You can view both the CMA Members Album or the 2000 Mustang Photo Essay.
While visiting the 2000 New York International Auto Show, I extensively photographed the 2000 Mustang GT for all of our newsletter members and site visitors. I took the front, side, rear, and interior shots and enhanced the photo essay with close ups of the wheels, gauges, seat back pony, and rear tail lamp assembly. Hope this helps all of you to analyze this great new Mustang. If you read last months CMA Newsletter on the website or followed the included links you were able to view the Ford Press release Mustang and SVT Cobra R photos. If you didn't see these then you can view them in the CMA Members Album while there.
