Mind if I ask which forum? I'm not sure how much work goes into being a mod, but you'd do a good job. I know that much.

I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK (and for longer than 20 minutes, too)

Actually, everything looks OK so far. It goes into the rear deck properly, and it shuts without taking any force.

Yay...
Congrats. So did you get the cloth top or the other one?

Free mods? Good one.

I don't know what I'll get out of it. I'm not going to commit to anything long term. I'm asking what the Mod positions entails and see if I can try it out to see if I benefit the Forum community.

This might have to be a 2008 first quarter mod.

You can do it instantly if you just go to "send Money" it will deduct from your account.

I ended up with the regular vinyl one. But, that's OK. It's a lot darker now due to having 3 less years of sun fade (although, the car is garaged ). Plus, I think they ended up changing the headliner material when installing the second time around, which means that I don't have to worry about trying to get all the brown dust/dirt out.

The cloth top would have been nice, but given the circumstances, I'm definitely glad that I didn't get it. If y'all remember, the dealership said that Ford can find out what parts they get for what repairs (ie-do an audit), and having two shelby/upgraded cloth tops ordered in less than 2 weeks for the same repair may have triggered one of those audits.

And, yes, I really am posting at 2:45 am (EST)....I'm one of a whopping 16 members on the forum right now.

Being sick sucks......

I look at it that way too...... I don't think I'd want to be a mod anywhere, if so I couldn't say and do some of the things that I do now. (Well maybe I could, but it wouldn't be setting a good example LOL.)

If he won't do it... I'll offer my services to come on by and give a lesson for free. I'll of course have to test it to see if the vehicle is up to my burnout standards and is acceptable for the lesson plan. I guarantee that he'll be able to shred the hides with aplomb once he graduates.

Until you bounce your engine off the rev limiter, you haven't lived yet. Right guys?
