    Hi there, just thought I'd say "hello" to my fellow club members. I'm a "married with children" blue-collared guy with an empty garage and a longing for a Maverick (or Comet). I'm on a limited budget but have a soon-to-be 8 year old son that I'd like to have help me restore or road-ready a Comet or Mav. I have an empty garage and a roller cabinet full of tools that should be greasy, not dusty. I'm looking forward to losing track of time on here and ignoring any household duties my wife may have for me while trying to swing a deal on a project car or a daily driver. Wish me luck, and I hope to someday be behind the wheel of what it is that you folks enjoy to drive !

    Gee, folks, thanks for making a guy feel welcome. I've only been a member for 15 minutes and two "welcomes" already. I think I'll like it here.
