Recently 2003MIB gave me his take off coil covers which
I subsequently had chromed and installed on my car. Last night at our get together at Chuck's I went to return my take offs but he declined to accept them. He suggested instead that I pass them along much as we did with the valve covers. If you remember we started with TAF, (or maybe it was Glassman) in Atlanta buying a new set from Ford and selling the take offs to the next in line for the nominal sum of $50.00 + shipping with the agreement that no one was to monetarily profit from the transaction. They were to be used by the purchaser to have powder coated or chromed and then installed, thereby not tying their car up while the covers where in the shop. Many of us now sport customized vale covers due to this act of kindness. Now we have a "like new" set of coil covers that I will ship to the first person who posts a desire for them for only the UPS charges. All I ask is the promise not to keep them but to likewise pass them along under the same terms as soon as possible.
To those of you who know 2003MIB you are probably aware of his recent misfortune with his Marauder. I won't go into that story here as he (and I'm sure Logan) really don't want that discussed on this site for what are their own reasons and I think we should all respect their wishes. That said, and once again not going into the story, very few people on site know that 2003MIB "took a bullet" for all of us. His main concern as his plight unfolded was not his own pride or pocket book but how his decisions would affect the Vendors, members and moderators of our beloved site. In short he is a true hero and if we ever have a Mercury Marauder.net "Humanitarian of the universe" award for Marauder related selfless acts he would be, hands down, the winner.
I know this may be gauche complementing him on what he has done for all of us and then saying we need to respect his wishes by not discussing them, but believe me he has his reasons and they are very good ones. If, in the future he and Logan feel that they can prudently reveal the rest of the story without creating a firestorm I am sure they will do so. In the meantime I just think it's important that other folks know what this man has done for us.
Well done, 2003MIB and thanks from all of us.
