    I put my car in the local indoor show. So far (just the first day) It's been awesome, talking to all the retired Ford guys that built these cars, I've got some good leads on Factory take home parts, and lots of funny stories. Can't wait till tomorrow!!

    Cool! (y)
    Oh yeah, I used to have that same license plate number in Mississippi. They changed to 7 digit numbers a few years ago so I jumped on GRABBER before anyone else got it. I also jumped on BOSS302 at the same time. I don't live in Mississippi any more but both are still registered in my name. I don't know how long they will keep before someone else is able to get them.
