    That's too bad John, but it was for the better. I have a feeling the coyote won't be stock for long. I also thought about getting a 13/14 GT before I got my Z06. Post some pics.

    It's VERY true - Lucy (my 98' stang) IS a Maverick at heart.

    After less than a week of ownership, I've found that she's full of surprises.

    Things Lucy 'fooled' the dealer on:

    She's NOT a 6 - she's a V8.

    Her alarm DOES work.

    She may be listed as 'Forest green' but will turn black when the mood suits - makes her a pian in the ass to find in a parking lot sometimes...

    She doesn't like 'rice cars' (hondas or the like with the oversized exuast end that's been tacked on) - her voice gets louder and more rumbly when they are nearby. As long as she doesn't get Alice's habit of 'drifting' twords Beemers and Mercedes (only happened in certain parts of town, and ONLY at those types) we'll be ok...

    Hey John, enjoyed trading specs with you on our cars. I understand the health circumstances, being a little over a year past colon cancer surgery. Stay in touch with all of us, and stay well my friend.

    Sad to see you go John. While we may not have always agreed with one another on every single post(what fun would that be anyways?).. I've always enjoyed learning and gathering those little gold nuggets from your input on various matters. And your gracious attitude and years of real world "hands on experience" will most certainly be missed around here on a daily basis.

    Good luck with everything you do in life and don't be too much of a stranger around here.

    Sorry to hear about your health issues. I wish you all the best! :) Even without a Maverick, you are always welcome here.
