After my forced time away from my favorite site it was nice to come back and see us on top. Only now my posts will be from Korea.

Good to hear from you again! I hope things are going well for you over there.
Do you want us to ship you a little Ford 4-banger and maybe some other Ford parts for you Kia? It might make you feel a little more at home.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Nov-02 AT 09:14 AM (EST)]I don't know how long you'll be in Korea, but if you're with the US military I think they'll ship you a vehicle from home is you are stationed there long enough and on a permenant-ish basis. My grandfather was able to have the USAF ship his 5.0 to him in Germany. I think they even paid to have a tranny and oil cooler mounted and the cats taken off. Drove it all over the Autobahn when we visited him. Fun!

Of course, he had been there for 10+ years already with the USAF

I've also heard that the military will do this for you but I'm just hoping that the Air Force never sends me over seas...I don't think my truck would fit too well on those tiny foreign streets I'd be running all over their little hybrid electric cars and hitting people on the sidewalks. Nope...its just the big wide open spaces of Texas for me.

The only way they will ship my truck is if I stay for at least two years. No way.
Besides, The Bronco or the 250 would have a heck of a time fitting into any parking space (or the road for that matter)
Guess I'll have to wait till next October to drive a Ford.

Sorry to hear that you are Ford deprived over there. Think if you had one of those lifted trucks with loud pipes what those little foreign 4 banger drivers would think.


Thanx!

Have you seen the new H2's? They're so ugly. A guy at work was telling me about seeing one around and he said he can't stand them. I think he said, "They took the most masculine vehicle and turned it into a girl." I hadn't seen one until later that same day actually and I saw what he was saying. It's funny!

Typical GM. Here's a question. A local radio station and a restaurant chain is giving away one of the last year camaro's for free. As a Ford driver, should I try to win it for a daily driver so I can make my truck exactly what I want it to be or should I just say forget it?

Win the Camero. Then sell it and use the $ to fix up your truck. Then with the money left over you can buy me a 4 wheeler!
