GREETINGS FRON CANADA!!

Thanks! You know, I was just up at Trenton AFB a few years back. Beautiful area (and I'm very jealous of your side's view of Niagara Falls ;) )

You wouldn't happen to be my brother "Rex", would you?

No, sir.

Racer-X is the name.

Just stay out of trouble. OK, kid?

Welcome from Washington State.

Where 'bouts in WA? My last place of residence there was the north end of Tacoma circa 2013-2017.

My kids constantly argue over who is Spridle and who is Chim chim. I 100% expect one of them to hide in the trunk with a slingshot

Howdy Howdy! Unfortunately I've never lived in NM. Closest I came was San Antonio. However, there is some absolutely BEAUTIFUL country side between there and the coast though.

How did you end up in Hungary?

I work in aviation and took a chance on a new USAF contract out here back in 2009. I've bounced around a bit since then but really missed the small village we lived in. So when an opportunity came for another tour I jumped back on the wagon (Our kids really like it here, small community with a good handful of USAF families in the area).

oh man, that was the first thing to go! I let out the biggest sigh of relief when I popped the hood and found out that thing wasn't functional. The grossest part was when I had it off and saw the Ford part number...

Poor car...

Sure is! 3,500,000 Hungarian Forint in all. Just a tad over $10,000.

I know it sounds a bit steep to pay $10k for a car you can 100% Fred Flintstone it in, but I shipped an Alfa GTV6 and a 1966 Impala in a container from here to Tacoma back in 2013. It cost me $8600, door to door and I was there to meet the container on both ends.
Add a 'round trip ticket into all that (Roughly $1500 from Vienna or Budapest) and the car cost me -$100 delivered to my door.

At least, that's how I justified the purchase to Mrs. Hungary

Thanks. I must admit that I did not know what currency was used in Hungary. I'm surprised that it isn't the Euro.
