Hey guys, I haven't been real active lately on the forum. Just had a WORLD of stuff going on thru December, both good and bad.... Still have a few things up in the air, but hopefully life will get settled back down a little bit. Anyway, thought I would introduce you to my new ride......
I am hopefully looking at getting a new promotion at work where I will be driving quite a bit, so I needed something that could get better mileage and be more "user friendly" for the job. SO, the blue car and the Lightning turned into a 2012 Ford Edge Limited. Had it about a week and really like it so far, plus I was able to save some money every month by not having two payments, two insurance bills, two vehicles to put gas in, two property taxes, etc.... It has the MyTouch system (which is really cool) and gets me about 19mpg around town and 28-30mpg on the highway. And for a 6cyl SUV, it really doesn't run too bad either lol.
Anyway, I know I've been MIA for a while, so I thought I would give an update.

Damn Steve big change. You got rid of the lightning too? How much you get for it... I wouldn't have minded that.
Also not sure what I'm doing jj. Probably look for a fox body or something. We shall see. I wouldn't mind having another 4 door sedan either so might look for a used higher mileage g8 to get back into. Don't want another payment.

Yep I'm in no hurry to get a car right now. I don't want to spend more than $15k. Got some options and not 100% the car is sold, guy said he wants it but you know how that goes.
Wouldn't mind having a nice clean modded fox... automatic if anyone knows where one is. Not one of those insanely overpriced ones either.

I think I am going to start buying Fox bodies, fixing them up and flip them to y'all. Lol. I will let y'all know when I'm taking orders.
My brother in Asheville and I is going to open a speed shop and start build project cars. We have a stocked garage with a lift getting installed this week. Maybe I will really get a fox body or two. I know there is a market for them just on this forum. Lol.
