Hey man, I just found your thread (I'm a new user as of today) and I want to commend you on having an awesome collection of cars. I can really appreciate what you've done with the Expy. The scenery shots with the Expy are absolutely amazing. Awe-inspiring photos for sure. You have inspired me to visit Alaska sometime soon with my Expy. If you could send me the link somehow to the thread about your Excursion, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm interested in what happened.

Thanks so much man.

Very nice! I live in Florida, so snow is anathema to me. I've definitely visited my dad in Indiana during the winter time so I've seen and played in snow before. My dad is also on the forums here. He has a F250 Power Stroke Diesel so he stays in the other forum section but if you see him around, hes pretty fun to talk to about driving Ford's (lots of history).

At least the Expy wasn't damaged in your mistake.

You X on the other hand, that was a decent run in the lady gave you. After all that pain and heartache though, at least you are getting it back better than before. That lady had no chance. Glad you are ok and back on the street.

Those are some amazing pictures! Maybe I'll take a couple of what the weather is like down here and we can compare the two.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Right now I'm jealous and wish I was there to enjoy the snow and do some wheelin', but if I were I'd probably wish I wasn't in the morning and want to come back south.

You have no idea how jealous I am. Those pictures equal loads of fun. Here in Florida, we don't get white stuff falling from the sky. You are truly blessed, that's for sure. Christmas, I'm looking to get a headlamp mod. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it and install.
