Lawrence Gryzenia and Friends from the StangFix.com Forum
Find Mustang Camaraderie on the Power Tour in Stillwater, OK
Usually, we put one or two people at a time in our Ford Fan Spotlight, but Lawrence Gryzenia and a few of his buddies from the StangFix.com online forum wondered if they could qualify for inclusion as a group.

Thanks, Lawrence, and a big Ford Racing shout-out to all on the StangFix forum! To read about other Ford fans we've featured so far this year, simply scroll through our Enthusiasts News Room. And if you know of other folks who deserve our recognition, send info (and hometown) plus a few photos (or a link to a YouTube video) to: AskTFR at Ford.com.
