Possibly my last post?

Well, soon I'll be heading to college and driving a lot more than I do as of now and sorry to say, but I'm going to need something a helluva lot more practical than a Bronco. I don't know how many of ya'll actually know me or will miss me, he he, but I believe I will be leaving. I'm going to be selling my Bronco soon here and buying my dream car (Some of you may laugh, but hey - I don't care. My ET will speak the truth ) an '86-'88 Pontiac Fiero GT. So I just wanted to give everyone at FTE here a goodbye. Most of you have helped me so much with the few problems I've had with my Bronco. Sad to see it go, I love the big baby, but she's just gotta go, that gas milage is bleeding me dry. Heres hoping she'll go to a good home, someone who can take good care of her. I'll miss her.

C'ya'll later

-Smoof

Just because you are selling your ford, doesn't mean you can't post here. Hate to see you go. Good luck in school.

Sorry to see you go as well. And other then being a pain to work on fiero's were not bad cars. And even with the 2.8l v6 they were still plenty fast. couldn't tell you how many times I nearly killed my self when I had mine.

Try to find a 88 Gt. Best of all the Fiero's. A caddy northstar fill fit in it too! Transmission and all.

Had a Fiero once. Not by choice though. I was stupid and co-signed a loan for a friend. Yep, I ended up with it. Tiny little P.O.S.

Sorry to hear about that sale. On the other hand, it is a nice little car and they make awesome kit cars to put on the body. I always considered them the GM DeLorean. If I had to buy and drive a GM made after 1980, I might consider that. It does have a cool factor.

Don't forget to tell the new owner about the site. Hopefully he will find it as useful as you did...

(For Dassmoof)

"Times change, and things don't always stay...
Life makes choices come into play
What we wish we could, we sometimes cannot have
And from what we did have, we sometimes walk away

The path we walk is never straight
To get to where we want to be we often wait
To "keep or part with" we deliberate...
And we can seldom hesitate.

But those we knew when we shared some things -
The same experiences, or calls
These are not cast aside at all
They are the people who make each of our hearts sing

They may have been wrong, or have been right
Typewritten voices in the night...
But at the least they gave a damn!
So come back anytime, else we'll miss you, man"


(I think that kinda says it all)
