Did the same thing as soon as I saw your name under the thread topic.

Halfway through your post I had most of a rough draft in my head with intentions of expressing my condolences.

If in fact this ever comes to pass, you'll be well missed.

PS Good one...NOT

OK you got me too.
I have always admired vettes and finally got my 99 about three years ago. I love this car, it is the coolest ever. It does amaze me when people do get rid of their vette for something else. You really had me going with the mustang. I know some folks love stangs and that is great but to me there is nothing better than a vette.
I also enjoy the pictures you post.

You almost got me, I missed your comment under the last picture you posted. BUT, when I started reading the replies, I realized that this was April Fool's Joke.

I posted one here, that I had left my car running in the driveway and a squirell had released my parking brake and it rolled into a tree. People believed it until I posted "April Fool's" !

Any one that runs different wheels on each side of their car can't be all bad. Weird maybe, but not bad.

It might have worked if I hadn't already been had over at Glock Talk by TheeBadOne.

First thing I thought was you've got to be kidding me. Thankfully you were.

Sorry, I'm a relative newcomer here and I could see through it just by the title.

Besides, just yesterday he installed his 50HP fuel line.

OK Mr. Bill, you had me going for a few seconds. I got you last year with the tire rotation and you got me this year with the Mustang, well done! All I was thinking was.....A Mustang, he's got to be kidding, boy is he gonna get flamed. Glad to hear your sticking around after all. Heck, I don't think we'll ever get rid of you.
