It's been a while...

a long, long while.
So how's it going everyone?

It's been a long and interesting half-year. The sad rotted carcass that was my black '86 Cougar has been hauled away and I replaced its position in the driveway with a boat while my '88 patiently sits awaiting spring. I've recently considered selling the '88 but can't help but smile every time I look at it. I've spent the majority of my time on the job hunt going on interviews and sending out applications but with the economy, many positions have dissolved and many other companies aren't eager to work with a recent grad. Thankfully I slipped into a full time position at the place I've been working part time for the past four years but I really want to have a chance to use my degree. That's about it on my front, I just wanted to stop in and say hi and I'll be around more often. Doesn't look like too much has changed around here although the new banner looks sweet. Looks like I have a ton of reading and catching up to do...

I'm glad to see you back. I was wondering if you pulled a Dare and went out a bought a v-6 mustang or something.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
