    hey there folks....seems amazing that i have come this far in under 4 years......seems like yesterday i was learning how to change the oil and shift the gears.......d*mn these kids grow up quick.....looking back, it has been a real learning experience.....i want to thank all that have helped me know what i know (or not know, as the case may be)......i ride the "rebel devil" proudly and let others wonder just what the f*ck blew their doors off!!!....i laugh at the ones that buy their power.....scr*w that....dig it outta hole in the ground, fix it, and make it the fastest thing that they have never seen.....to all that attend this forum, i salute you for your resolution to not let the beast die....from fire, comes the phoenix.....in our case, XS/XJ domination....to you newbies....it will not be an easy journey, but when you get it running right, it will will be better then sex.....(trust me, even if you don't smoke, when it hooks up for the first time, you're gonna get off it and wanna take a puff, just to get your head together!).....be frugile and search for parts online......deals can be found and had.....don't settle for second best.....if you are gonna ride the beast, do it first class, be proud, and let them know that they had their a** handed to them by a historical vehicle.....(makes good for the jaw drop effect!).....to my friends found here, i wish you well, and thank you for all your help...to the friends i have yet to make, i promise to help you with all the knowledge i have and if i don't have the knowledge, i know, without a doubt, that i can contact my "XS family" and find the answer to any problem....finally, if you know how i am, it's time to bring on the strippers!!!!!......

    ....here's hoping they keep me around for the next 500 post.....ride hard, ride safe....ross

    Ross,
    I know you have kicked in when I had questions and appreciate that more than you'll know.

    This place is like no other.

            Ross, your always "off the chart" and a hoot! Has to just come "naturally"! Anything else close from someone else would just be considered plain insanity or a brick short of a load at best......ride on!

              Ross, I have to fess up

              I just can't get my mind around your location, as I have little or no knowledge about using a GPS. So, Please, where do you live??? Acually I want to know because of the party, save one for me!
