Here is the latest:

Here are the latest updates as I have 3 left and one 3 inch short rubber non retractable available which has copper wiring througout.

stokey - Paid - Shipped
crossfirefrank - Paid - Shipped
kimpossible - Paid - Shipped
mistertaz - Paid - Shipped (Taz is this your handle)

Rick Cenzi - Paid Shipped
waynesworld- Paid - Pending Shipped
Scott-LMTD - Paid - Shipped


Thanks!

This may be my last on this unless the next group buy is a bit larger. After shipping, paypal fees and packaging this is way too much hassle for the .25 cents profit (which I had to have or else I would be loosing to cover the shipping to anywhere in the country!

I just did it for the love of the forum and you all.

Thanks

Nate

What a great guy and a credit to the great group on this forum! Now I sent it back because I am doing this for you all and not to make money but it is definitely the though of him to do something this thoughtful is what makes our forum work!

Paul if i had an extra I would have sent you two! You are a great guy!

Thanks for the thought that makes a great day even better!

Nate

Thank You Nate,

We all truly appreciate your efforts.

I can't wait until I get my new "Stubbinate" antenna BEUWAHHH!!!

I think I see a marketing angle here

Keep the faith Bro 'cause we're all in this together.

Stay safe...


Respectfully,


Paul (MisterTaz)

Yes a marketing angle indeed but more for my preschool and gradeshool teachers. They likely would have named the paddle the stubbornate! LOL!

Too bad you can't make it Saturday. What are you doing up this way Friday? You should come to our car cruise Friday night. I am always the only XF there - my car is always popular - it would be fun to have 2!! My favorite thing to do is hang out a few cars away & watch people checking my car out .... its awesome!

Flying down on May 14th and driving back. Can hardly wait. Have to finalize things with the insurance settlement and figure out this title transfer business and will be good to go.

Lexus, huh?!? I hate dealing with Jimmy Bryant - such an ***! One of the dealers I have always sworn that I would NEVER work for - treats his people like crap.

We get together every Friday night at the Bob Evan's next to Rachel's at 6-9PM. Its a great time - usually about 100 cars. I get out of work at 5:30, go home & change, uncover the XF & head over. I will go a little later now that it is so hot - have to let it cool down. You should come out ... it is a great time. Lots of old & new school American Metal, a DJ, food & free! Cars, chow & tunes - what more can a girl hope for?!?

Well trust me this lexus, while not a bad car dumped the tranny about two years ago and my lexus dealer up north did nothing but try and sell me a new car, even lexus corporate treated my with less than professionalism. THis is the last one that I will own, so I understand your point. Fortunately I am only gettting a gasket and not letting them charge me 20 times what it is worth to change it. Doing it myself!

Now if you are going to be there close to six I can likely be there for a 12 hour or so as I have an evening appt but it would be great to meet another xfire florida owner before I head back north in a few weeks.

Let me know if you will be there a little closer to 6 and I will plan to be there and also what is the address of the Bob Evans as I am not familiar with the area?

Thnx

I will show up at 6 if you can make it. It is very easy to get there - one the same road as Lexus - only about 4 miles away. When you leave Lexus, turn right (north-ish), you will pass thru some really hellish traffic at Howell Branch Rd, pass Red Bug Lake Rd and it will be a few miles up on the left side in front of Sam's. Turn left at the light. If you get to 17-92, you have gone too far!! Send me a PM if you think you can make it ... I will give you my cell # in case you get lost! I would give you the exact address, but honestly I have no idea. If you have GPS plug in Rachel's Casselberry - there is only one & it is next door to the cruise. Just make sure you clear out your history before your wife sees - Rachel's is a fairly famous, totally nude strip club - it does have GREAT food though!!!
