Hi, long time lurker. I thought I'd registered years ago, but from the info in the sig section of my first post it wasn't until March of this year. Thought I'd posted some but nope never posted either.

I was bidding on a couple of the deuces in Frankfort hoping to bring at least one home but didn't have that much to spend. Now am saving up and hoping they start releasing them again.

Hello and welcome from SC glad you joined ........

Thanks. Was in the Ohio Guard when I was younger and drove a jeep one drill weekend. First time I'd ever driven a stick but we were short people. They wanted me to get my license for it the next time we did training. Got the jeep and hmmv then. Almost got the deuce added but the testing was done at the shadybrook armory and there was a lot of local traffic that day for some reason. With my limited stick driving they didn't want to chance me running over someone or something. Drove the hmmv up to Michigan and back a couple of years for summer camp.

I have a little experience driving mil type vehicles, but nothing to brag about.

A neighbor around the corner from me recently bought a cucv diesel blazer and it's gotten me stoked up a bit to own my own. He starts it up everymorning about the same time I go outside to smoke my first cig and drink the first cup of coffee in the morning before going to work. ZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZ grumble, grumble, grumble.

Indeed Welcome! This site is FULL of information! I own a collectors Toyota Supra and take part in the Supra forums which doesnt have shic on this site. It seems to me that SteelSoldiers has the best, accurate information on MV's. With the least amount of useless posts. Im a member for life now! Im glad that you are 40 min form me. Might need you soon for soon to help me load out.

I'd be happy to help if I'm able to. Send me a pm if or when you're ready.

I still have one of those "one of these days notions" rather than an actual vehicle to drive around. I'm seeing some vehicles in craigslists occasionally at a decent enough price. I'm thinking it'd be easier to get one of those for a first vehicle since it's already licensed and on the road.

Welcome from a stone's throw across the river - about 15 minutes if you jump on the Anderson ferry.

Just yell if you need anything.

Thanks.

I think I'd be more right than wrong if I said that there was a lot of people that collect old iron riding on rubber (vehicles) that also collect old iron nestled in wood (curio and relic firearms).

Get over that initial hurdle of accepting that you can own something that's not sold at Ikea or of allowing yourself to be different and you start doing all kinds of crazy things to save up your pennies to get just one more or to fill a previously unknown need.

I have a lot of rifles that once I started I had to have another then a copy because they'll never be that cheap again, I'll eventually wear one out and wanted a replacement, or it's cheaper to buy parts all put together than separately.

I was just over there in Hebron for an interview with Pomeroy. Yep, that's close.

Welcome from the east side of cincy, I myself am looking for an mv and still trying to justify it to the mrs. Lots of great folks on here. Had the pleasure of meeting some at the haspin rally this year and ..... oh yeah.... had an adveturous ride with gimp too! (which ended with an under chassis inspection)
