Yup, you read that right...I'm moving. The Air Force has deemed it vitally important that I help set up a new Command in North Dakota...
Yup, North Dakota.
Been at Travis for 15+ years...flew as a flight mechanic for more than half that time. Finally settled down, bought a house, etc..etc...and now this. It sucks. And if you think I'm bitchin', you're damn right I am. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) I put both the Mustangs up for sale for the simple fact that I won't have alot of use for them up there and the $ would be better used for a down payment on another home or a fukkin' snowmobile.
So, write your congressman/woman and plead for me to stay. J/k. I should be here through Late September, so get those gears in before I leave! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

How long have you been in the airforce? and they can just tell you to leave just like that?

why sell the cars ? You could own the fastest 93 in North Dakota....the only 93 in North Dakota. I could see selling the 03 but the 93 will be to hard to replace and you won't be in ND for ever. Good luck

You should keep the 93 Cobra!
There will be plenty of time to enjoy that car up there. I think you will regret it if you sell it.Beleive it or not, there are a ton of car guys in the midwest. Nothing else to do in the winter besides build hot rods. Best of luck John!

Well, whatever doesn't sell...I'll keep. I don't "need" to sell either, just looking at it from a smart single parent aspect. What's more imprortant...ensuring my son has all that he needs...or two extras parked in the driveway? That's what it boils down to.
So, with that said- both car's ads are pulled. I have 40+ interested in the 03, about half that in the 93. I have decided that if for some reason they don't pan out, I'll re-evaluate and go from there.
And keep the requests for gear jobs comin'!
