Hi all,

I'm a new member of the Nest. My name is Ray Reed and I live in Bloomington, Illinois. I just purchased a 2003 Whisper White Premium with partial Whisper White interior accent. I traded in a 2002 Isuzu Axiom and a 1988 Pontiac Fiero to get my dream car. I've wanted one of these new Birds since the first time I saw the concept car, and especially after seeing it in person at the Chicago Auto Show last year. All of my friends and family think I'm nuts for trading both my vehicles for the Bird (especially my Fiero), but I couldn't be happier. My Fiero was a one-of-a-kind show car and had won several trophies at car shows, but as much as I loved it, it can't compare to how I feel about my new Bird. I really enjoyed belonging to a Fiero Club and travelling around the country to various events, and I didn't think there could possibly be a more loyal or more fanatic group of car owners anywhere.......until I stumbled upon the Bird Nest! I really look forward to attending T-Bird events in the future, and meeting fellow T-Bird lovers. I have found this forum to be extremely helpful already, but more importantly, I've found a place where my psychosis is not only considered normal but actually welcomed! It's a beautiful sunny fall day today in central Illinois with the temperature expected to hit 75, so I think I'll put the top down and enjoy it! Have a great day everyone!

Good luck with the car and enjoy the ride.

Ray; my signature sezzz it all. This is the offical T-Bird fever swamp so jump in and enjoy the water it is fine. Some of the members just take a drink and they are never right after that GoBird, Blunbird and davida just to mention a few nuts.

Enjoy is not the word! (actually, I guess "Bird" is the word!)
Your TBird Psychoses will be lovingly encouraged to grow here!:nuts::nuts::nuts:

I can't wait to attend the events so I can meet other Bird lovers in person. As enjoyable as this forum is, I imagine the events are incredible.

Hi Ray,

Welcome to the T-Bird nest. There are a lot of good people here who are more than willing to answer questions and give advice. Hope you enjoy your bird as much as I am enjoying mine.

Welcome to the nest! :wavey: There's tons of great information in these threads.

We're having a T-Bird day or two (and Halloween) out here in Seattle. It's getting as hot as 47 degrees during the day and it's freezing at night. There's no chance of rain today or tomorrow, so I'm still driving around with the top down! I guess people around here think I'm plum goofy. I haven't seen any other convertibles with their tops down:pink:
