    Looks like you did Mohawk in 23. Are you planning to do that again this year? If so, I'll see you there. It's always strange somehow to see people drive and modify a car that I've spent some late nights and weekends designing a few years ago, so...

    I can definitely relate to that, I was the driving force behind the F150 Tremor. I get great pleasure reading all the wonderful reviews and seeing dedicated forums and groups to the new brand. Retired fall of 2022 as F150 Engineering Program...
