Last Saturday

I went to Jb's early Saturday morning and had a good time. Out of 12 raffle ticket I had 7 winners, 3 stuffed animals, caifornia duster, McDonalds gift cert, Tshirt, VIP Car wash, and Bondo in a can. Later in the day I used the car wash and then took Evan to a friends house and on my way home I got my A$$ handed to me.
It's looking like a total right now. I'm doing well just a bit of whiplash and lower back pain. I should be out on Saurday for Central.

Thats a total? Doesn't take much with these new cars I guess...

Sorry to hear/see your accident, I'm glad you were belted in a full size car and not the red flash. By the way, Bruce Bosley is looking to sell a 99 taurus with the hot 3.8 liter motor. 85,000 miles. One of his delivery cars. Just a thought.

Paul, looked at one yesterday at Sanderson Lincoln/ Merc on Bell. Had a few 2003 left. Super deals. Got a loaded one down to $34,000. with 4000 rebate (or 0% finance)1000 rebate if you use FMC to finance and I have access to a Ford X-Plan discount (about $2900). Great car. 3 year free service. 4 year warrantee.

Glad you are OK. At least Evan was not in the car with you. See if you can get the tranny out...

See you Saturday. Some of us are meeting at my house about 11am for the drive down there.

Paul, I'm really glad that you are "sort-of-ok". The bumps and bruses will fade away with time. What happened ? Hope to see you in Laughlin later this month. John

Well, glad you are OK. We lived in Phoenix for about 10 years prior to moving to Texas. Phoenix has to be one of the most hazardous places to drive. My wife only has half of her left knee cap to prove that.

You got a lot more freeways now though, that should have helped a little bit. Course, crazy people remain crazy people.

Paul,

Sorry to hear about the accident but real glad that you emerged relatively unhurt.

When I was in a San Fernando Valley (CA) based Pick-a-Part they had SHO or two there for the scavenging. Just a thought.

Paul, I have a Lincoln LS, I highly reccommend it, I love mine!!

Turk,
THANK You for the email.

We bought a beautiful 2000 Lincoln LS V8 sport. I'll try to post so pic this weekend. The KBB trade-in value was 15500.00 we got it for 15993.00 with a clean Carfax report and some time and mileage left on the factory warranty. The wife seems to be happy with the replacement for her 1997 Taurus SHO.

Throw on some headers and side exhaust and a supercharger.
