[Blackmobile]

I was looking back and trying to figure out what good things happened in 2009, Public or Private..................I'm not coming up with anything. :(

Well speak up, we all know the bad. Just trying to figure a reason for not wanting to be in a coma for a year just to miss the 09 excitement.

[FordNut]

Every morning I figure if I wake up it's all good.

That's a start, protect that beast, as you know it's on the endangered species list.

My wife remained cancer free for a second year in a row and the kids remain healthy.
Even though jobless, I still managed to pay my bills on time.
No breakdowns on house or car fleet.
Cut back smoking from two packs a day to around a half pack.


Thats enough for me, although i'd love to get my job back also and get back to having a life...

well, i went from spinning my tires all thru first gear only when the pavement and car is cold.
to catching traction @ 65mph from a WOT punch out of the hole. at any temperature.
BOOST is awsome!

Word of advice, just make sure it's pointed in a straight line, don't ask me how I know.

Ed, whats up with the cv?

Ed, whats up with the cv?

It's confused and confusing others too. I've had 2 people look at it and one goes "it's a CV" looking at the front, and the other guy say "No it's a Marauder, it says it on the rear bumper" I'm almost content leaving it white in the front and black in the back. I was talking to my ole lady and mentioned that I wanted to put ADAM 12 in the side, but then she said to put CAR 54 on the side. To that I said I didn't want to show my old age that badly.

Here a picture of what it's become next to my buddies TA.

It was a difficult year in some ways but great in many more. We went to our first Louisville meet! Had a blast caravaning with Haggis/LadyHawke and Silversurfer/TCBO1. Met a lot of you in person for the first time! (Still crazy about you a year later.) ;) Got a Zack tune! Went to our 2nd Carlisle and hung out with some of the best guys and cars anywhere! Went to our first Marauderville. Had a blast caravaning with.....all the usual suspects plus MyTmerc/missus, Bluerauder/Bernie and Steve the SB Marauder drivin' statetrooper on the way out. Hung out with the best guys/cars anywhere! Got 4:10 gears! :D Went to 1-2 local car shows weekly throughout the summer with our posse. (Big Dog Jim & Offroadkarter)

Made plans for our upcoming New Hampshire Motorspeedway Show and Meet scheduled for May! Retired the Marauder and bought a new daily driver! Enjoyed visiting and being visited by our family. Got my amazing husband. Don't need much more than that to make 2009 worth living! ;)

[UncleLar]

Most of my family and I managed to live through another year,not shabby considering....

[RoyLPita]

I got promoted to the Parts Dept at my workplace back in April.

[TAKEDOWN]

Parts Department? Congrats... harassment time!

I remember that, though you do nnot mention Chris and I. :(

[Ms. Denmark]

I remember that, though you do nnot mention Chris and I. :( Gordon! You and Chris are "ALL The Usual Suspects!!" Just to clarify for the future if I use that phrase, it = Haggis/LadyHawke! Who else could it possibly mean??????LOLOLOL (except maybe Brian/Nat and possibly Shaun/Diane, Charlie/Bernie, Jim, Marc, Connie/Jack, Rex/Debbie, Paul/GF? etc. etc. etc............:D

OHhhhh. ok! Well now that you clarified there will be no misunderstanding in the future. Maybe.

My wife and I bought a house in January. My son (third) Gabriel was born in July. I bought the Marauder in September.

I still have a job though I did not get a promotion. My wife and kids have all their needs met, maybe not all the 'wants', but definately all the needs.

Good family and friends.

In my boom, was not a bad year

[guspech750]

Lots of good things have haapend in 2009. There were more +'s than -'s and my family is alive and well. Bought a way cool car that lead me to this cool web site and have meet some really cool people from here too. So far so good for 2010 too. LOL

[fast dtr]

Can't say much good's happened with me, other than I'm still alive. My health is getting worse and 2010 is not starting out very well either. My health insurance has gone up, car insurance has gone up. This keeps up much longer I'll probably have to sell the MM. :(

[Stoneblue]

Satori. As sweet as water, as bitter as time.

[wx4caster]

My health remained good...I transferred with my company rather then being unemployed, bought a new house and BEST OF ALL.... bought an 04 MM with 17K in the ticker. Looking forward to an even better 2010

Bad

Lost my Dad.
Lost some good friends and a family member.
Just the normal stuff as you live "your dash."

Good
Got to see a bunch of you guys.
Quality time with my wife, grandson, and the rest of my family.
Got to drive Pops' car down the track at Atlanta (still get all fuzzy when I think about it).
Got to see Marty on most of his record runs (a real treat).

Lots more good stuff, too much to remeber here, but all making "the dash" a little bit better.

[Mr. Man]

Yeah but i'm young & pretty! :D

Yeah OK Maria your so pretty oh so pretty....etc keep telling yourself that. We all think your a homely Jet on the West Side....story if you will:D

[Bigdogjim]

Well any time you get to see the New Year arrive is a "good" thing:)

Me I found a Company where I really enjoy my work for a change:up:

Remember..."It's all good" :up:

[dohc324ci]

Still employed with many projects to keep my department busy for the foreseeable future. Converted my home loan from an ARM to a fixed. After which allowed me to buy my built motor. Bought the wife a new Mustang and family is healthy and made it through another year! Cant complain.
