Post #5,000. Wow!

I found FTE in April of 2006 looking for some technical advice while working on an old Ford truck that I'd bought off the side of the road.

The wealth of information here is staggering. Congratulations Ken on a site well built.

The number of lunatics I've found here is also staggering. We've got a horse molester, a preacher of the Flying Spaghetti Monster faith, a tax accountant who spends his free time serving as Mayor of a make-believe neighborhood founded by the above mentioned horse molester, an official spanker who is currently accepting applications to become her latest "slave boy", a contractor in California who truly believes that if he licks that window just one more time, it will come clean, a chef in Missouri who actively spent more dollars than I will earn this year in an effort to blow up his own 6.0 (he succeeded....), more than a few truckers making America's roads safer by screwing around on FTE rather than driving under the influence of some of the incredible stupidity we come up with, and of course, lots and lots of mechanics, gearheads, and Ford lovers in general.

What a great bunch. I'm proud to be a part.

Thanks all!

Ahhhh Timmy, you have such a way with the written word, you should have been a speech writer for Hillary and Obama. One for Hilliary on Monday, then one for Obama on Tuesday blasting yourself for her speech, then rebutting Obama's speech on Wednesday. It would have been great!

King Terry? That may end up in my signature...

Does that make me ineligible to be your new slave boy?
