Wow- 5,000th Post

Okay, it's just a number, I know, but it does mean something to me. Most of these "milestones" are marked with a joke, but: 1) I can't think of a good one right now, at least one that they'll let me post, and 2) I'd rather take this moment to just say "thank you." It's been 2 1/2 years since I stumbled on this site, and it's had a rather profound impact on my life. From just using my experience to help others, to FTE allowing me to share a most unique way of doing business, it's been one heck of a ride. Thank you again to everyone here, and I hope I'll get to express my gratitude personally this summer at the national meet.

Okay, enough mushy stuff- back to work!

Congrats, Jeff

And, from me, you've been an asset to the site. Hope you hang around a few more years.

Of course - I do hate it that you couldn't think of a joke....

Congratulations Jeff
It's great having you here.
Since you couldn't come up with anything funny I have something for you.............

Top 10 Indications You Have the Wrong Used Car Salesman


10. When you complain that a car has too many miles, he asks you how many miles you'd like to see on it.

9. Has dog named "Pacer."

8. When you crank the car and fluid shoots over your left shoulder, he notes, "Oh, that's a standard feature on all of these newer models.

7. Uses the 'Slim Jim' strapped to his belt to open the cars for your inspection.

6. When you ask him where the restroom is, he says, "Tell 'ya what I'm gonna do ...."

5. Lunges behind a fern every time you mention "Mike Wallace."

4. His bumper sticker reads, "Honk If You've Ever Reamed A Guy For Eight C-notes On A '72 Dodge Dart."

3. Casts no shadow even in direct sunlight.

2. Ever uses the words "excellent" and "Hyundai" in the same sentence.

1. Tries to convince you that this car will get better mileage because it is heavier, and you will be able to "coast a lot."
