Just a quick note, there will be a final GIFA blog update later this week. I promise. Things have been hectic since the return.
Anyway, I went out and stimulated the global economy and got me a new "BIBE RIDE" AKA CP30. (BIBE=Big Bend National Park) www.nps.gov/bibe or CP30. Of course CP30 was gold. My pop-up camper is nick named R2D2 by a close friend . So, CP30 hooks up with R2D2 :)
Global economy, many metalcasters across North America and the globe contributed to the new BIBE RIDE CP30. I have to wonder how many of the vast number of global Synchro32 satisfied customers contributed to this new vehicle. When I worked at Citation Lufkin Texas Foundries - we made ductile iron castings for many vehicle platforms - some for the big players in North America and also for those across the vast oceans. We used to bring vehicles from the local dealerships to the foundry and put them up on racks or ramps so that everyone could see the parts we made and where they were located on the final assembly. Really gave you goosebumps to know that you had been a part of making that lower control arm or U-Joint or brake caliper.
Got a steal of a deal, took six hours of negotiating to get the price I wanted. But, in the end I came away with exactly the price I wanted.
Anyway, the curtain is being drawn up and "ta da".
Until, next time, see you on down the road.
