    New to the family!

    I recently bought a car that I found has a bit of a reputation here on the old interwebs, it's a beautiful 65 Ford Galaxie body on a 03 Marauder/panther chassis. It runs and drives like a newer car, but has the feel and attitude of an old car. I'm 32 and this year I found out about and am currently going through chemotherapy for grade 3 high risk Astrocytoma brain cancer. The truth is life is just too damn short to drive boring cars. If I live long enough, I'm gonna put 100,000 miles on the Raudxie. Thanks for letting me be part of your group!

    Cool car. Glad you're able to find the silver lining.

    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Thank you sailsmen, I hope everything is okay with you now. I have about 10 doctors probably, went through surgery that I almost died from and now you can hardly see the scar. Somebody has a plan for me, and I'm still kicking, just not as had as I used to.

    Hopefully everything goes great and I can make that 200,000 mile mark! Cars are built to be driven and enjoyed and that's my goal!

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
