Cars, Community, Camaraderie | Welcome to the Club – Mustang Mafia

Video Transcript:

Speaker 1:
Good morning New Orleans.

Speaker 2:
And that's what made me fall in love with Mustangs. Originally was just the sound of it. When I was a kid, there was a guy that lived a couple of houses down from us. His name was Chris and he had a white, '91 Fox Body. And that car sounded so good. It got into my soul. Chris inspired me, because he was a good guy and he had a bad car, right? But when I got my 2000 Mustang, I felt like now I got to become his character.
Every kid at the park knew me for having a nice Ford Mustang. I began ministering and teaching, being a leader of youth, and Mustang Mafia was then actually born. New Orleans has a flavor that no other city has.

Speaker 3:
Thank you for everybody coming together as a family today. I want to bless everybody today.

Speaker 2:
My grandmother owned a restaurant for years, and one of the things I remember as a kid, is every time somebody would come in and they can only afford this, she would give them a full plate of food. Her character and the way she lived her life bled into me and is the reason why I am the person I am. We get their attention with the cars, with the way they look, the way they sound. But once we have their attention, then we try to push it toward what we know they should be doing. The positive things in life.

Speaker 4:
The same way that we take care of the car, is the same way we have to take care of our life. Our health, what we're doing with our family, all of those type of things. Each car, especially fixing a car, is a puzzle, because no two cars are the same. No two problems are the same.

Speaker 2:
Mustang. Mafia is not only here to help people who are in need, it's here to lead people in the direction that we know our world should be going in.

Speaker 5:
What's up, what's up, what's up?

Speaker 6:
What's up with you? Now that I'm having a boy, I started to realize this is my next legacy. This is what's pushing me to go further. This is what's most inspiring me. And it's the next chapter of Mustang Mafia.

Speaker 2:
That's right.

Speaker 6:
Because we not going to last forever. This generation is coming up faster and faster and faster.

Speaker 2:
Yeah. You is getting old, bro.

Speaker 6:
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth.

Speaker 2:
You is getting old, bro. I saw you. I saw you.

Speaker 7:
So today everybody, we have a surprise for you from Mustang Mafia and ...

Speaker 2:
Teacher said y'all needed a new project to work on, right? Mustang mafia is not only going to provide the car, but we're going to provide money for y'all to have parts to fix this car. Y'all do y'all thing this year, bro.

Speaker 8:
Thank you.

Speaker 2:
Yeah. Like I say, it's easy to go fast and do a lot of stuff, but that's not the meaning of these cars. You can really build a good family. And a lot of people don't know that. They just think it's just a Mustang just riding around, and it's not. It's bigger than just a car. It's a unity. It's a family.

Speaker 9:
What's up, bro?

Speaker 2:
But yeah, that's literally how I started.

Speaker 9:
Amazing how an idea can become a...

Speaker 2:
For real.

Speaker 9:
Something that you didn't even, you know what I'm saying? It all started from an idea. Just now it's boom.

Speaker 2:
From an idea.

Speaker 10:
One, two, hit it, boom.

Speaker 11:
Boom.
