Guys, my life finally slowed down enough for me to write this down.
I wanted to say thank you to all of the "internet friends" that I made in this online community.
I sold the truck 2 weeks ago. I ended up taking a deal that was quite a bit less than I wanted to take, but I was in a bind with all the driving, and was ready to make a major change in my life. I gave the guy that bought the truck literally every part that I had for the truck. (except the 2 spare wheels/tires I have, Jling, you're welcome to them.
The next week, also pressed for time, I bought what I had been looking at for some time, a 2002 SVT Focus. I hate to say that I have brand preference, but I guess I kinda do. For the record, the car is F****** STELLAR. handles awesome, "feels" fast. and is getting 25-30mpg consistently. Best purchase I could have made in my opinion. Right now it has a short throw, Panel K&N, Full exhaust save for headers, a tuner, European wheels and bigger wires. I'm making a strut tower brace this week, an intake, and am putting in a new subwoofer since the old one was blown.
I just wanted to say again how wonderful being a part of this community has been to me. The knowledge I gained, the friends I made, and the experiences I had solely through our mutual love of these trucks is something incredible. I think everyone that "knew" me around here saw me transform from a total idiot to a regular idiot. And I think it was due to the people on here, like Giddyup (Rob) Lightning2000 (Billy) Turbodgumby (Gumbo) Struckby (Ed) Diabolic (Chuck) and a bunch of other guys. What wonderful people to learn from and become friendly with. I would have no second thoughts calling one of those guys up to say hello, although they might feel differently due to my absolutely quirky as hell internet persona.
TL;DR. This place is a wonderful well of knowledge, experience, and friendship. I hope the SVT Focus Forums are as nurturing and helpful.
I'll be seeing you guys around for sure though. I'll pop in every once in a while.
