The Mustang Virus – Getting Bit by the Pony Bug

 

Those of us in the Mustang world know what it is like to get bit by the pony bug.  Once you get bit, you become infected with the Mustang virus and there is no cure. For one hard-working woman, mother of two, and true southern bell from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this illness is spreading like southern wild fire. 

“My husband has been modding and racing Mustangs for twenty-five years”, says Tammy Lynn Meaulance, “Me on the other hand, I had never raced, driven, or owned a Mustang until I met him a year and a half ago.  After we met, I begged him for weeks to let me drive his pony to work.  He finally agreed.  After five minutes of driving his pride and joy, I called him and told him I had to have one!  I was hooked and bought my 2013 Mustang GT four months later.”

Meaulance, who now lives in Texas, has named her aggressive pony “Beaux” in honor of her heritage and history of growing up on the Louisiana Bayou. Meulance’s car has received a ton of appearance and performance modifications that read like a “best of” list from American Muscle. That list includes a BAMA tune, Forgestar Wheels, lowering springs, a new grille and more. Under the car there’s a handful of UPR suspension parts further improving the way “Beaux” rides.

“I have had Beaux for almost a year now.  I started with making modifications, followed by taking hundreds of pictures, and then attending car shows and events.  Now, I have discovered a repressed love for drag racing.  I have started to spend much of my spare time at the track with my husband Mitch who shares the same passion.  Recently, I was asked to be an administrator for a Mustang enthusiast group online and have also started to devote my time to that.  Honestly, I’m glad I was bit by the same pony bug that got him twenty-five years ago.  Fortunately for us, I think my son and daughter have now been bit and it has become a family illness”, says Meulance.  As Tammy Meaulance and other Mustang owners will agree, life would not be the same without the pony bug.
