Did I Slip Up?

I've received a LOT of questions through the FTE e-mail, and I just want to say thanks. Both for the opportunity to help anyone making such a large investment (regardless of where you end up buying it), and for all the great comments and letters of support. It borders on overwhelming, and I can't tell you how much it's appreciated. During these cold, dark days of February, it's what keeps me going!

Having said that, and because of the volume of e-mail, I just want to make sure I didn't miss anyone. If ANYONE e-mailed me, and you didn't get a response, would you please let me know? I apologize if I did miss anyone, and I promise you'll get a response THIS TIME within 24 hours.

Jeff, in all the times I have either posted a question for you here or sent you an e-mail with something that didn't seem broad enough for a forum post you have answered quickly & completely! It wouldn't surprise me if you are batting 1000%, don't be so tough on yourself, the effort is beyond the call of duty!

I have never personally asked for any help yet (I think!), but I just have to say a big thanks anyway!

Anytime we have someone so helpful and genuinely wanting to change the way we preceive car dealers and dealerships (for the better), we must realise how lucky we are to have someone bettering our community (community being FTE, or course )

Not to mention that this betters our perceptions of Ford, as a whole (whether it should or not..)

So once again, a big THANK YOU!

jeff,

I have to agree with the Chaps and Cards81fan, you always go above and beyond the call of duty and we all appreciate it. As for missing anyone, you couldn't have, last time i checked you could still walk on water......

Your help is amazing, Thanks again

Enough, STOP!! Like any salesman, my ego's pretty big- it doesn't need any additional inflating from you guys! Wow- I'm almost speechless (notice I said "almost").

Well, thanks again- I guess it never hurts to know it's appreciated. I started going back through all the e-mails last night, plus the one post I missed, and I started thinking, "jeez, did I respond to him or not?" At my age, you know the first thing to go- I just can't remember what that is........

Anyways, if you've sent me an e-mail or posted something here that I didn't reply to, don't ever be afraid to remind me of it.

Walk on water....now THAT'S funny!!

Hey Jeff,

I was wondering about the possible FTE purchase plan you mentioned in another thread. What's that all about?

Oh, if you're talking about outside water in its current state here: heck, even CHEVY salesmen can walk on that!!

As for you other two- Im absolutely BLUSHING right now, thinking I've got the two of you fighting over me. And jc, think about it: how could I be married AND spend the amount of time I do on here? That divorce would have happened a LOOOONG time ago!

And I was just kidding about the Checkers cheeseburger. The next time I'm in Orlando, THEN you can buy me a drink!

Hey, it's my day off, so let me go get some other stuff done. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Jeff,

If I recall, you were contacting folks offline about this. If this is true, can you include me also?

Thanks....
