your story is touching bro ,and to hear about the recovery youa re making is simply amazing !!!!!

Joe, rep points for you ,like they said your not only the fastest but also a standup guy also!!! this that amazes me sometimes on here ,is how everyone pulls together to help someone in need. and id like to thank everyone for that ..

congrats on your purchase and keep making that remarrkable recovery.

 

Joe,
As always, you are the man! It's good to see that there still good guys on here!

To the OP,
Thank you very much for your service to our country. See you in Goliad in Oct!

 

Thanks for keeping us all safe, I wish you and your wife the best!

 

Glad I browse thru this section today and see this thread. Amazing story and recovery. Best wishes to you and your family.

 

Wow. You are amazing.
Thanks so much for what you did, and for what the rest of our troops continue to do.

 

Joe Sent the exhaust out to me and it should be here next week. I forgot the exhaust had tips welded on to it and robmd99 sent some tips to me to cover that. The body shop chipped a little paint on the car when they were detailing it for final delivery, to me, so they had to keep it another day. I am sitting here just like a little boy an Christmas eve, waiting to pick it up.

I will take tons of pictures and get them posted ASAP with pics of my wife and I happy as clams when we finally get it back. I found a mechanic in the same town I live in who has experience with exotics, thanks to a wealthy oilman who has the same addiction I soon hope to have (fast cars), just much worse than him, and don't want to find a cure or "self help" group for it. My wife might have something to say about that at some point in the future, but for now she is happy to see the spark back in my eyes that she says has been gone for a long time.

When I get the exhaust and the tips installed, I will take a short video and post it so everyone who has "had my back" can enjoy it with me. Thanks to everyone. To those who will be at the TX mile, I hope to see all of you amazing people there along, with some amazing cars. For those who can't be there, I will keep you posted with pics and posts. Thanks for all of your help again.

 

That's why I am on this forum. I am never surprised by the lending hand given whether it is information, help on checking a car or this type of unselfish gesture by Joe. What a great place to get info on one of our passions and help out some one with a need when possible. Congrats to all and welcome to the 6.

Wow...

 

What a story!! It really reminds us how to appreciate life every day. Thanks to guys like you for our protection. I had a friend that came back from Iraq and let me tell you, the stories that I hear is no where close to the news we all hear. I wish you a speedy recovery and the best. Thanks to Joe for being a stand up guy here BTW, if my trays fall off the car at the Mile can you help me

Don't know how I missed your thread. It is great to hear about the progress you are making. All the best with your new turbo.
