I was born in Philadelphia, Pa. but raised in a Brooklyn, New York housing project until my teens. We then moved to the New Jersey Suburb where I graduated high school and later served my country in the U.S. Air Force. Now, I'm a New Jersey Police Officer of 14 years and a Crisis/Hostage Negotiator, married to my best friend and partner, Tammy. We have two spoiled brats ages 10yrs. and 11yrs. old and I have two children from a previous marriage ages 18yrs. and 21yrs old attending college. I enjoy playing follow-the-leader with my wife in our Mustangs, date nights, music, shooting, hosting BBQ's and pool party's, working on our stangs, participating in cruise nights, Car Shows, maintaining my swagga and my sexy as I'm rapidly approach middle age status (LOL) and answering the occasion street race challenge. Ok, I answer just about all street race challenges. (Ha, we all have are vices!)

CRUISIN' MUSIC

When my wife Tammy and I purchased a base model, 2005 Mustang V6 Convertible in January 2006, Tammy simply envisioned a little fun in the sun during the warmer months. I however, envisioned transforming the S197 mustang into an eye catching restomod. Inspired by my love of the 1970 BOSS 302 and BOSS 302 Trans-Am and road racing, my mustang, which I've dubbed "StreetBoss" was conceived. I chose the name after stumbling upon a pair of StreetBoss fender badges at a flee market. A little research revealed that they were Roush Performance badges, once placed on modified Ford F-150's. I felt that the StreetBoss badges best described the gutsy V6's street racer persona. Still a work in progress My StreetBoss concept has embraced both the old and the new, with a touch of my own personality. Often compared in styling to the 2007 Saleen Parnelli Jones and 2007 Ford BOSS 281, my StreetBoss has won several awards and acknowledgments at local car shows and cruise nights throughout the Delaware Valley. I've been very pleased with the overwhelming positive feedback from BOSS owners and enthusiast, who are impressed with the attention to detail, such as the retro chin spoiler, “M U S T A N G” trunk letters, pinstripe and black-out treatment of the rear trunk and deck lid. Like the BOSS 302 Trans-Am, me and my StreetBoss has been turning heads while competing on the drag strip and road course at Raceway Park, Old Bridge NJ and New Jersey SCCA’s AutoX events. What makes me most proud is the looks on the faces of a V8 mustang owner who I've either beaten or given a run for their money, when they discover that the StreetBoss is a V6. MasterCard said it best, "priceless"! My StreetBoss has been a work in progress since the day of purchase, most can't believe that this mustang started out as a bare-bones, base model Mustang. All of the customizing and mechanical work was done myself with the assistance and guidence of my best friend Tony, who owns Hightstown Automotive Center, Hightstown NJ, and the patience and support of my wife, Tammy.

Under the hood is a 245 c.i.d. ohc V6 engine with a MMR 70mm throttle body, MMR throttle body spacer, Airaid cold air intake, CDC Shaker Hood System and SCT Xcalibrator 2 with a BamaChips race tune @ 93 octane. The stock exhaust was upgraded with a true dual exhaust setup to include BBK shorty headers, high-flow cats, offroad X-pipe and Flowmaster Series 44 mufflers. The StreetBoss exterior appointments include a retro chin spoiler, Eleanor style grille with center mounted fog lights, headlight splitters, functional shaker hood scoop, side scoops, convertible light bar and adjustable rear wing, matte black BOSS hood, body stripes and blackout treatments and a set of black 17” bullet wheels. Inside is are a pair of Tenzo-R racing seats with 4-point racing harness, carbon fiber upper dash and shift handle, AutoMeter transmission temp, oil temp, vacuum, amp meter and volt meter traditional gauges, housed in a AutoMeter triple gauge pillar pod and (2) Roush vent gauge pods in the dash. Future plans for Mik'e StreetBoss include a Foose retro hood to complete the look, Ford Racing lowering springs and Brembo calipers, cross-slotted and drilled rotors.
