    T.L., We've both been on this forum for a long time, and we've seen lots of changes over the years, and they have mostly all been for the better. Stefan keeps this a great place for us to discuss a variety of topics, and most of the time it is a friendly and informative place to be. That is not to say that we don't have disagreements and minor arguements from time to time. I think that when we do, we hash them out and move on. And that is what makes this such a great forum.....the ability to disagree and discuss, and move on. Holding grudges is for the Mustang and Chevy forums. They have some world class net-brawls, and lose a lot of people in the process. Hats off to us, all of us, for making this the best place on the net for our hobby. "earl hops off soapbox".

    We can all agree to disagree here, thats for sure. Some of those Mustang forums turn my stomach. Those are not true car guys IMO.

    I would be completely lost without this site.
    One thing Of many I have learned form you guys that saved me one he-- of a lot of money.
    Kick downlinkiaged rusted enough to hold it in the kicked down position, that saved me a tranny rebuild, I know next to nothing about tranny's I could have been robbed blind for a can of wd-40. My transmission shifts like it is new.
    Also have learned a bunch about Mavs and Comets as cars in themsleves, their quirks their strenghts and weaknesses, I have headed of many repairs by preempting problems based on stuff learned here. I can't even put a value on you guys , this is the first year I may be able to get to a mini Meet I'll need to do that trip before a trip to KY. to be confident I can make it there I will enjoy meeting as many of you as I can!!

    Thanks Stephan

    Definately hoping for '06 outside chance though. It really depends on next week,
    everything is going fine, except an electrical gremlin the car had when I bought it, hope to have that fixed next, it is in the column I believe. There is some kind of short.
    2 symptoms,

    1. if I start the car in park it won't shift out of park. I have to turn the key foward just before it eingages the starter, shift to neutral then start it up. My first thought was neutral switch, but I think when those are bad you have to jiggle the shifter just to get it to crank.

    2. when I have it in drive I have to pull back on the shifter slightly to get the radio, blower, wipers and signals to work.

    I would love to get to the Round up this year but may settle for going to the OK regional ( thats the closest one to Des Moines).
