Havent been here in awhile.

Like the title says, untill i begged eric for help with my password and login(which i am thankful for) the last time i was actually here was some 6 years ago apparently.
Havent owned a tbird in a very long time, since i gave it to someone that really needed a reliable car.
So, whats up you guys.
Oh , how am i doing you wonder?
Im doing alright.
Atleast i was untill i tried to swap the literal thumbnails i uploaded here with the actual pics, ugh.

Still kicking, though I haven't had a Tbird since 2014. (That may just change soon..)

Covid sucks, work sucks, adulting sucks.

But we keep on keepin' on. At least I make decently good money now. My head's in a better place, I've literally got nothing to complain about.

Let's git it!

I sold my Thunderbird in 2010. Been casually looking for another one (this time a four-eye Bird with vent window doors) but not doing any really searching. Got married, sold a house, bought another house, just last week sold that house (at a huge profit) and currently looking for another house, this time in the country with a hundred acres or so that I can hunt on.

After the Thunderbird I've had several vehicles: A Chrysler 300 (the Pimp Sled), a Hyundai Sonata (my first brand new car, burned to the ground in my driveway), a 2015 Mustang GT, two Chevy Avalanches, a 2020 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 3.5 Ecoboost, and a BMW X3 35i XDrive (still have the F150 and BMW), an more - those are just the ones worth mentioning and don't include the beaters. Worked at a large used car lot, then a Honda dealership, now a Euro specialty shop (hence the BMW - I don't have to be afraid of it, I can fix it).
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

The Volvo was the one that I bought on a Christmas Eve and the engine blew Christmas Day thanks to a bad turbo (seal went bad, lost oil pressure). It was the Sonata that burned
