2 Years & 1000 Posts Later - Compilation of the Gobstopper (No 56K!)

Blingting · 08-25-07, 10:07 PM

My name is Mike, and I am a Legend Enthusiast. I have wanted a Legend since before I was even old enough to drive. My original plan was to get a LS coupe but after test driving so many Legends, I finally found the right one. This LS sedan happened to be owned by a close neighbor who lives right down the street and was definitely in the best condition out of all the ones that I had seen. It was a struggle convincing him to sell the car, as he did not want to part with it at all for some time. So I saved up for a while, convinced him that I wanted it bad enough and was willing to pay him whatever he wanted, took out a bank loan, and paid it all off last September.

I'm currently approaching the 150k mark. Roughly every mechanical component in the car has been serviced or replaced. I will have had it for 2 years in a few weeks!

So here is a dedication and my 1000th post:

Congrads on the amazing work you have done on your Legend.

Awesome post, Mike, and an even awesome-er Legend! She's come a long way. Can't wait to see what the next two years and thousand posts brings. That's interesting you were looking for a KA8 initially. I bet the prior owner of your KA7 wouldn't even recognize it -- you ought to swing by and show the guy all the upgrades you've made.

AustinForester · 08-25-07, 10:46 PM
