As of today, the SVO is no longer mine. Took a nice $1500 hit off what I originally paid back in January, but given my circumstances it had to be done. This is the first time I have ever not owned a Ford of some type....kind of an odd feeling.
Hopefully things will stabilize with a new job in the coming months. Going to save my money and get my finances/priorities straight before I attempt another project car. Until then, I'm still a mullet at heart and I'll always be at the Ford gatherings.
