    Hi, my name is J.Rob, and I am a Mavoholic.

    It has been 35 years since I bought, and 25 years since I let go of my first Mav, my first car... and 30 years have elapsed since a brief flirtation with a Comet GT. And even now, I know I am still hooked. I have rebuilt and flipped most of the autos I have ever wanted to own, and am settling into an unwanted early retirement. With lots of time on my hands, and a few years since my last project I am faced with the reality that I will be lapsing into my old Mav habits once again.

    My first was a Polar White 74 Mav 302 with HD Suspension, Shocks, Front Stabilizer Bar, and Front Disc Brakes. The Comet GT was a Competition Yellow 71 302 with buckets and floor shifter. A few other Mavs went through my hands fairly quickly in my first 10 years of driving, including a Blue Grabber and a Red Stallion. When I let go of my first and last 74, The Mighty Mav, I thought I was done.

    Alas, that was not to be. Given that I am now coming to the realization that I will once again be surrendering to the unrelenting call of the Maverick, I have decided that I will be building the unicorn(s) that I always wanted...

    A Boss and a couple of Mexicans may be on that list.

    I am doomed.
