Well, Back in September of 2003 I was in the market for a vehicle to replace both my 92 Storm and my 88 F-150. I debated between a car and a Jeep. I really wanted a Jeep but I looked around at my family, three kids and a wife and thought maybe something a little more practacle(sp?). So I test drove a Grand Prix. A few days later I went to a dealer saw this pretty blue coupe and thought to myself "man that's alot of car I sure would love to have it. But it's probably out of my price range." So the wife and I took it for a drive, talked some numbers with the salesman. We agreed on a price. Needless to say for some reason we had to wait till the next day to finish the transaction. I can't remember why. So we came home and I immediately did a search for information about the car I was going to buy. Guess what site I found. Well here it is February of 05, I have reached my 2,000th post to this website. I have met many people. Enjoyed sharing information, jokes, pics and poke fun at some with no harm intended. Many things have happened in that time frame some good some bad. All I have to say is I have enjoyed the company of this group. One might say I'm addicted to it. I am on here so much my wife asks me "honey whatcha doin" my response is a quote from a great cartoon character "Same thing I do every night. Try to take over the world." I look forward to spending another great 2,000 posts with you people. I really enjoy it. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. 4T8 spring is comin soon. Bat You are the PS god around here, keep up the great work. Alex, It's nice having some one south of the U.S. border to converse with. You have a different world there. Take care of that pretty wife of yours. As for you Canadians here. You can keep all the dang snow!!! I haven't been able to ride my bike quit with the presents all ready Actually you guys are great too. I appreciate all of you. Everyone is just great. I could go on and on but I think I'll run out of web space if I do. Thanks everyone. Woo hoo 2000 posts. Who's next?

Woohoo! Congrats Herc! I too get in trouble with the wife for being on here too much, or so she thinks. ...and to answer your question, I'm not too far behind. I'm next! Thanks for your help and views on the different subjects that have come up.

I'd be up for a trip. But it would probably be a little far.
