I told myself after I paid $5K over invoice for the gotta have it V (yes, it is true, despite what lies I may have stated in the past) that I'd make no more than one post per $ on this site. Let this be my final payment.
It has been a seriously awesome ride - both here and behind the wheel. Truly a class site, with great mods, better moderators, and a handful of talented individuals contributing to the betterment of the community each day.
I have to thank (yes, I'll forget some) urb, stealthv, lasstss, pietro, L5, CVP, Florian, denniscars, Velose, Lord Cadillac, the oh so adorable and lovable BJ aka bigjim, Chef, Heavymetals, Nikon, Cadi Kid, RT, ctsvett and shiat - a whole bunch of other pricks that made life both enjoyable and miserable over the last 3+ years, here's to each of you
:alchi: :alchi: :alchi:
Each of you that have offered to buy me a drink or three over the years - don't be too f'in surprised when I collect ('cept you CVP - you scare me).
I'll be back. 2ish years. I'll lurk between now and then. I'll dump the V on a dealer after maggie is repaired in trade for a chick car to hold me over. The '10 V is mine - after somebody else does the over the sticker trick for a year, verifies that it rocks as much as I believe it will, and shows me at least 50 foot of black without studder steps. In otherwords, I'll break down and order a slow ass gray V in late 09/early10 provided that some of you are still around to prove the diff is grenade proof, and the (LS???) engine can still be tuned to each perversion selected.
Now the sentimental bullshit. I-forums are a tremendous waste of time - save for this one and the .faq when they save your ass repeatedly from mod-hell (or throw you a rope when you've fallen in the pit). The best thing about this place has been the daily reminder that this country absofrigginlutely will continue rockin' - as long as each and every one of you elect to make it so. I've never met a more standup bunch of guys in my life - and I'll miss this. I'll end up on a VW/Audi/Mazda site or something (even the flower site is full of wieners) and quite frankly will have to learn to hang wit' da yungens again. So what. Cars are a waste of time and money - and that's just exactly how I like it. Married the 2nd time with 2 kids means I see my fair share of the couch - and this place has been a friend more times than not, more times than JD, Toysnot, or some dude that lost his embz.
The super trick, mallett shifted, maggie induced, stealth tuned, heavy de-vibed, lasstss tricked, spectered, BMR'ed, autovation'ed, kicker'ed, hots'ed, fastest color urbinated V pulled the last stunt it gets to on me this a.m. Biatch maggie contacted rotors minutes after startup. I was taking the Schnauzer to the groomer and the V to the carwash to clean her up before a serious buyer came back for a final serious test drive (he showed, with shoebox of cash and I had no car for him). That was the confirmation of 2 things: A) she doesn't want to leave me and B) the bitch has been bad luck since day 1. F' her - she's outta here. Maggie is off already and in a box and Monday I'll deal with Magnuson. If only I had my stock manifold on hand - she'd be stock by 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. Too bad - I've enjoyed this ride despite costing me and estimated $65,694 to own provided I get at least $30K at the final drop (disgusting, isn't it).
Thank you - each and every one of you - for proving to me that the American Spirit is in fact alive and well in this aging country of ours - even if we can't find a car company smart enough to know that 400 ft lbs <243 ft lb ratings (or :wtf: ever it is).
