Do we know you?
Oh hell, I liked it. I just couldn't do it right because of my instability in military life. 9 years was enough, but maybe some other time. You know, I actually tried to get the OP a "mod job" once upon a time, but timeless shot it down. Nik would've been the ****!
Me too, man. I haven't been here much, but we kinda showed up at the same time. I do miss the Mustang camaraderie. Kinda wish you guys were all local and we had a Mustang club or a beer joint to hang out at togetherI might be able to hang around for a while with all this newfound enthusiasm I'm feeling about the car. Haven't been this excited in years. My timeline's been crazy:
Nov 2006 - car blew up after I turned the boost up too much
Feb 2007 to Fort Drum, NY to become a Platoon Leader
Sep 2007 to Iraq - dropped car at Dayton 50 Performance
Oct 2008 back to NY
Feb 2009 to GA - picked up car with a mess of problems
Aug '09 to Ranger school
Dec '09 to Germany and then a brutal year in train up w/o time to enjoy Europe - couldn't bring car with, so it stayed at the family farm
Dec '10 to Afghanistan
Nov '11 back to Germany to Command an Infantry Company
Jul '12 to the other side of Germany in a new unit where I finally had 2 years, but they were rough and unstable in other ways due to the Army draw down
Jul '14 out of regular army and into reserves, new company command (stressful job), civilian job hunting, finally got to do a little on the car (tinkering and Team-Z)
Dec '15 to Dallas for a civilian job of 80hrs/wk - dropped off car at HPP Racing
May '16 to Fort Knox back on Active Duty (left car at performance shop in Dallas)
Dec '16 to VA for an Army intermediate school for officers
April 20th - I'll head back to Knox to sign out of my assigned unit. I'll pick up the car over memorial day weekend at the beginning of May
Jun '17, moving to California to attend college in Monterey for a Master's Degree
It looks like 15 moves of 4 months or more in almost 11 years, and that's not counting unit training exercises at each duty station. Makes me feel like not as much of a **** bag for not getting my car done or doing most of the work when I look at it like that. I felt as excited as I do right now when I came home from Iraq in 2009, only to be severely disappointed by the progress on my car. I have not been as excited about it in 8 years. I'm back to studying parts and combinations, reading about new tuning developments. I can't wait to get the car back. I know it's pretty much going straight into a body shop when I get to California, in order to prevent the spread of rust and to make it look good again. But, I think I'll get a few dry days that I can take it for a spin. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get it back ready to go from this performance shop (HPP Racing). *fingers crossed*
Everyone thinks it's a blast until they do it for a while. lol
no other board will take him...lolI had to leave many years ago for work reasons. I come back to a very different SN. I don't post much but I am on the forums a lot. I am an admin on two other sites and it can be overwhelming at times. Oh and ban noobz.
Oh I don't know. With that mustache he was sporting...I can think of a few that would like to "take him"no other board will take him...lol
I'm calling for a fact check on your comment.I've been here over twenty years, could'nt run me off with a big stick,
I've been hiding, I mean living in polk county for over 20 yearsI'm calling for a fact check on your comment.
You've been "where" for over 20 years?
Do you also get up at 3 AM and tweet out stupid junk too?
So I'm to understand that you live in Florida? I was thinking it was California for some reason.I've been hiding, I mean living in polk county for over 20 years

Hoopty did like me and paid off noobz for the mod job
I complained about something a while back and that was his response. I can honestly say I've done very little with it. I've only threatened violence once.
You said, and I quote, "boobs are useless". Funny thing is, you still paid moderator dues.So, be'n a mod is punishment?
What da heck did I do wrong?
