First off, I'll explain the name. On a forum that I'm very active on, they gave me that nickname. I'm a big Apple user and you never see me without my iPhone. So, they gave me iRoush.

My name is Mike. I am 20 (21 on September 27th!). I was born in Pembroke Pines, Florida. I have been around motors and building shit since I was a little kid. My dad had home made 3-wheelers and always had a project truck/car to work on. On top of that, he was a contractor. So, I was always helping dad with something.

We moved to a SMALL ASS TOWN called Williston, South Carolina when I was 5. Lived there for about 3.5 years where I learned to drive tractors and shit. We had about 55 acres around my house then another 100+ acres across town that we used for a hayfield to feed the 50+ cows we had... I hated it there. So, moving on...

Back to good ole south Florida. Moved right back to our old neighborhood. It was ok there, but I'm glad we got out. A lot of trailer trash. My parents weren't getting along and split. But it's cool, I got to see my dad when he wasn't drunk...

I then moved to Sunrise, Florida. Talk about living in the ghetto. This place was horrible. Kids everywhere pretending to be gang affiliated. But, I'm not about that. So I kept to myself a lot. This is when I started seeing that I really liked cars and I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. Sometimes, the things even worked right... lol. I remember seeing a really cool New Edge across the street from my house and I LOVED this thing. I was obsessed with this Mustang. I even found a Hot Wheel that looked just like it and got it! lol, yea that bad.

Then, we moved again. This time to Deerfield Beach, Florida. I love this place. Made some great friends there. Finished up my middle school life there. This is when my dad died from cirrhosis of the liver. He was a bad alcoholic. But, I've accepted it now so don't feel bad... Not too much more to talk about in DFB, still too young to own a car. lol...

Then comes in Lake Wales. OMG, a hole in the wall. lol. I can't lie, it is nice there. But I prefer the city life. I spent my whole high school life in LW. That's where I got the Mustang as well as the other cars you see below. I ended up meeting a great person, now a great friend. We started out on mustangforums.com. His name there is 0NF1R. Anyway, I'm still very active with the great people of Stang Force in central Florida. I'm hoping to find some great people down here as well. I did meet a few guys last night in Tamarac and they are why I am here now.

I now live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I work M-F 9:30-6. And, I like it. Only been here 2 months, not too much to talk about yet... :)

I have a girlfriend who actually just got herself a 2011 v6. What a nice car that is! I am going to be installing new exhaust on it this weekend from MRT. I shall post pics and a vid of that after it is done.

Well, thanks for reading everyone! Now, enjoy some pics. :)

Here are a few pics of me and the lady.

On to the rides...

My first truck was a 1993 Chevy 1500. I loved it because it was mine. It was a great truck. But I owned all of 7 months before I got a major upgrade...

Here is the upgrade. A 2008 F-350 King Ranch. This was an AMAZING truck and I plan to get another one day. This thing had 650 ft-lbs of torque and 350HP. I would race all kinds of ricers and shit, and whoop 'em! Imagine if I chipped it. I took this thing everywhere! Mudding, trips to where ever, I didn't care. I put almost 30,000 miles on it in 8 months. But, fuel started getting bad in price and I couldn't do it. $5+ a gallon was killing me. So, I had to get rid of it. :(

That's when this Roush came about. It was sitting on the lot, looking sexy and I knew I wanted a mustang. But, at the time, I was searching for a Black GT Vert. They had NONE! But, I kept eying that blue Roush on the lot. So, they worked me a deal and I drove off that day. Here's the car soon after I bought it.

This was when me and a bunch of guys from Mustang Forums got together.

Thank you, all! Sorry, I was out for the weekend. And where I go, internet has really come about yet. :(

Anyway, I did an install of new mufflers on my girl's 2011 V6 over the weekend. I will be posting a How-To later today I hope.

I did forget to mention a car I had for about 2 months. It's while I've owned the Roush. I was wanting to park the Roush and work on it. So I bought a SVT Focus. That thing was a lot of fun. But, when I heard I was moving down here, I sold it.

As for the Thursday meet, I will be out there. But in the 2011. My girl has the Roush. Getting a tranny swap this week.
