    Hello,
    I have been lurking around here for a long time, I have been a member since March 2002 but up till now I have not had to much to say but I can say I have learned a lot from some of the posts here. I have owned three Mavericks in my life my first was a red 1970 with a 170 6cyl. w-black vinyl top I was 16 and I trashed it , My second is my 69 ½ . I bought it from a small back road car lot because when my then 10 year old son saw it he said it was the coolest car he ever saw . Then I bought a 71 Maverick on ebay from Ohio what a big mistake we just barely got it home and it became a parts car , So after driving the 69 ½ for a couple years it has spent the last couple years sitting in my garage and then on the weekend of May 16th we were in Ocean City Maryland and it was Cruisers weekend there were so many cool old cars and a few great looking Mavericks . My now 19 year old son says we need to get ours back on the road so from here on out we are going to need a lot of advice and direction .

    :hmmm:

    You should get yourself a proper keyboard like the Model M or that abomination Jamie uses. Or, maybe switch to beer at lunch instead of the hard stuff.

    Either way... New sig for me until somebody tops it!



    Oh, and welcome!

    Hey, PAINTANK started it with his drunk typing, and I DID bring it back around by saying "welcome" at the end of my post, right?
