After GL Event 4734, Lot 6002, a 1993, M35A3, with 5100 miles, sits at Warner Robins with my name on it. On 10/09/09, if you lived anywhere near Minnesota, you might have heard an alarmed, elevated, female voice say, "You did what?". (The initiation into this hobby must be surviving a, "High Speed Wobble", as wives find out about the, Olive Drab mistress?)
I wish my friends and relatives were more creative. To a man (or woman), the first question out of their mouth has been, "What are you going to do with it?". You guys have all heard it before!
Steel Soldiers, this is all your fault! If you did not have such a terrific web site and great group of guys, my friends and family would not be looking at me as though dementia arrived early.
My EUC went to BC, 10/22/09. I'm hoping the, "HOLD"...yes my truck is on the list...becomes nothing more than a speed bump for all of the affected guys. As I pursue this magnificent, "Swiss Army Knife" of a truck, I realize the hoops I need to jump through are numerous. Some of this IS a bit frustrating, but, I'm certain the reward will be great. For starters, I will be an absolute hero to two little Grandson's, when we hit the logging trails and go fishing next summer. Besides, where else would I obtain a $60,000. All-Terrain -Vehicle for pennies on the dollar?
Like the old preacher's prayer, "Please give me patience, Lord...and I want it now!"
Thanks to the administrators and membership in general for allowing me to be part of this group.
To, "Buckeye 2000", thanks for the recent update, regarding the "hold". Feeling convicted by the old adage, regarding fools and their money, I found it encouraging.
Since I am very new to all of this, I was not sure if my truck would have a heater. Here, in Minnesota, we have ten months of winter and two months of poor sledding. I bid on an, "Arctic Heater", ... just in case. The EUC for it went to BC, 10/22/09, also. I thought it would be a useful and fun installation.
Does anybody know if it is really necessary? (The truck has a soft-top.)
