Troy, believe me (if you don't, ask Chris), I can take a bit of abuse (and dish some out too when needed ).

Truth be told, I'd get a dizzle in a heartbeat, but they haven't built my ideal dizzle yet. It would be something like a 6.4 with the emissions controls of a 7.3 (none), mileage of a european diesel fiesta, and the tranny out of the new 6.7 (6R140?). But for how little I drive my truck (winter only really, rarely tow stuff), the V10 does ok

Jay, good luck with Lynn.

Morning guys!

We'll do Jay! Hopefully that "might" will change to "will".

I don't know if everyone has made res. for July 9th in Two Rivers but I will not be able to camp that weekend, so somone can take ours if needed. Otherwise I will cancel them. We have a family reunion that weekend so I'll have to old school it and just stop by for a couple. Later

Thanks Andrei and Cory.

I am sure there will be one or two that we cannot make too Cory.

So I have to ask Andrei. Why are you in MN in the winter and back to Phoenix in the summer? Isn't that a little bass ackwards?

Hey Cory! That sucks that you can't go especially considering it is in your backyard basically! I don't believe Beth has made reservations yet so maybe we can take yours. I will have her talk with Des.

Haha, I wish that was the case. I'm in MN full time for now, the decision has been made to move back to Phoenix though. If I can sell my mustang, I should be able to do it this year, otherwise, it'll have to wait until next year... I suck at saving money .

Believe it or not, the weather only plays a small role in the decision... The lack of garage space, or rather, a warm place where I could store and monkey with my cars; lack of a race track (haven't seen one in almost 5 years) and taxes are probably the main reasons... I will keep the townhouse I have now though (not gonna be able to sell it for a few years), and if I don't find renters, I'll probably be back out here for vacations...

Found a house in Phx that pretty much addresses most of those issues (read: big garage, rv gate, and 8 miles from the track) and the mustang's KBB value would pretty much be a 15% downpayment... Gotta love a badly hit housing market But until enough snow thaws off so that people can even test drive the mustang, no chance of selling it, haha.
