Well, it’s now been a full week without the GT.
Not able to drive it or even go out and look at it.
BUMMER.:frown
Left it in Dallas last week for some warranty work.
Is in good hands, but still is missed.
Will be glad when work is finished and can get back in its stall.
Stable mates appear lonely.:shrug

Withdrawal Symptoms Include:
Too much energy
Smoking too much
Working too much
Drinking too many beers
Spending too much time on The Ford GT Forum
Not getting enough sleep
Actually listening to what Mrs. Spirit is saying:bang
Spending more time with the horses
Too much time watching “The Speed Channel”
Doing too many chores for Mrs. Spirit:smash
Eating too much

LIFE IS GOOD.:thumbsup
I NEED MY GT!!!:biggrin

The "Cat" Is Out Of The Bag

Jasper,
You must be “HAUNTED”.:eek
How did you know about the new paint?:shrug
It must have something to do with living in the “Wide Open Spaces”, OR is it driving on the “WRONG” side of the road?:confused
Now you’ve gone and blown my cover.:cool
I’ve been hiding out in Texas for years.:thumbsup
If you tell any more, I’ll have to move to the 51st State, change my identity, start raising kangaroos, and learn how to drive on the “WRONG” side of the road.:bang :willy :bang

As for “kicking the cats”; NEVER.:bow
They are ferocious “Guard Cats”.:smash
Always busy doing their “job” of keeping the snakes, lizards, spiders, mice, and other pesky critters away from the GT.:troll

I NEED MY GT !!!
:cheers :party :cheers

Solution

Spirit:
Convince Mrs. Spirit that she needs one. :biggrin That way when one is in the shop...you have a spare! Also, when she finally breaks down and decides she wants to drive it, you don't lose your's.
Mrs. Doc said she always wanted to drive our first one, but there were too many pictures of women standing and looking at their husbands GT they had just wrecked. If she was going to wreck one, it was going to be hers'. She even made the dealer put in her name so I couldn't say she did something to "my GT".
PS. It's easier if she thinks it's her idea. :wink

Thanks For The Help !!

Doc,
Thanks for the “help” here.:bang
Mrs. Spirit doesn’t need any more ideas, she has enough already on her own to keep me “busy” and “broke”.:bang
As for her driving the GT, she has been pestering me on that topic since the machine arrived home at the ranch.:bang
So far, I’ve been able to “create” some very inventive excuses to keep her from behind the wheel.:bang

Life Is Good In Texas!!:thumbsup

I NEED MY GT!! :biggrin

The Answer?

Jasper,
"The answer is never the answer.
What's really interesting is the mystery.
If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking.
I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking.
The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.":cool
