Heater says there is a few open trailers in the park as long as you're willing to buy a fox or turd gen.

Rained yesterday and a cold front came in overnight.

It's 72* now.

Why's that? Charleston looks to be a good place to live from a financial view. A friend of mine lived there for awhile when his father took the Chief of Police job and he loved it.

I think my biggest issue would be starting my life over. I'm talking the social aspect, not a career aspect. I also like knowing the areas of things and knowing where the nice neighborhoods are and whatnot to avoid the riff raff.

Last I checked, for the banking stuff it would be moving to NC, Chicago, Denver, or KC. None of those were enticing enough for me to pull the trigger.

Forgot, where are you at now?

Edit: Jk, saw Ohio. South is the way to go man

I had the opportunity to move to Charlotte for a career, but meh... Just wasn't sure about it.


But, but, but - then I could bug you.
Yeah, Ohio seasons blow. Not much to look at, the winters are longer than they should be and the air sucks.

I am actually going to look at a 2004 Mach 1 today. It belongs to a good friend of mine and it was his DD up until a few years ago. He was driving home from work one day and the motor lost oil pressure. He said he shut it down as soon as the light came on but I know the motor is probably screwed. Not worried about the motor though cause i'm only paying $3000.00 for the car. I am thinking about just throwing a Coyote motor in it and sell that old 32V 4.6L motor..

That would be fun with a 5.0. I might get one of those cars for a driver at some point.

Nice MACH...Blower Cams and a Procharger on that 4.6 32V would be hard to beat and for less $$$ than a Coyote swap..IMO

I would have to see what the damage is to the motor first. Lost oil pressure normaly means spun bearings and such. I can do all the work myself but might have to replace and/or machine rotating parts..

Coyote swap is where it's at. For 3k that car would be a perfect candidate. Finding a 5.0 out of wrecked F150 is becoming easier now. I am wanting to do one too but don't know if I want to do a Fox coupe or later model. I have a 94 Cobra that I bought to part out and if it wasn't so far gone, I would use it.
