Perhaps you're now just trying too hard regarding my comment.

[JoFotoz]

Oh come on Trekker.....

My thread was/ is a Heart transplant ref...

PLEASE.. leave it at that.

I was referring to your choice of word in your response to me and what it implied.

You certainly aren't seen using words like "esoteric" in your responses to OTHER members here anyway.

And anyway, my first response was simply based on your "Dr." reference and along the lines of whether the delivery was a boy or a girl.

You could have left it at that, but...

[JoFotoz]

So to be clear...

I start a thread about a "Heart transplant"...

You pop in with your comments about baby birth...
....seemingly missing the whole gist and sentiment of MY thread.

I use the term 'esoteric' in ref to you missing the whole Dr CB "Theme"..
... and steer it back to my heart swap original.

Yet youre all upset about some 'implied' meaning...
....and who I do and dont use words with??


And having asked several other to reconsider their 'spirited retorts' to you...
(and they removed them...)
...and even asking you to -: "Please, leave it at that"...

I even ask that people just be happy a VX is being saved.. and to AGAIN..
..."leave it at that..."

AND, I waived :whiteflag:

But Oh no...

Yet you dredge this thread up from its unremarkable slide off the front page.


And YOUR parting words are " You could have left it at that, but..."


The irony .......

Jo

[VXobsession]

^^^^ you guys crack me up...

These threads that always steer into some weird oblivion have become the best entertainment for me on this forum lately. ..

Keep up the good work! A&E just might give y'all a call!

[TheGanzman]

Looks like you should NOT have skipped the morphine...:bwgy:

ummm..... Jo was chiding HIMSELF for using the word ..... :_thinking

[tom4bren]

I expect to see some updates very soon in the 'Shared Parts' thread:)

[JoFotoz]

Soon!!


I expect to see some updates very soon in the 'Shared Parts' thread:)

Jorge is coming down from LA today to pick it up ..

.. surgeons are prepping the recipient!

:smack:

Jo

[tom4bren]

H8 to see a VX die ... but at least it's keeping others alive.

KUDOS

[JoFotoz]

Yea, sad to strip it...

KUDOS

...but twisted frame left no option.

So far its donated parts to 4 other VX's..so good result all in all.

Jo

[tom4bren]

Yah, that Proton in PA with the blown motor will always be fondly remembered for allowing mine to live again (& about a half dozen others too).

[JoFotoz]

Nice!

And I see this happening more and more as parts get scarce...'er!

Trying to figure how to (cheaply!) get the tranny from this one... to JR Adams.
It would be awesome to see it in Todds VX !!!

jo

[Ldub]

Is this a great Fam.......or WHAT ? ? ? ... :heart:...:yes:

[JoFotoz]

Off it goes...10 mins ago!

Motor on its way to LA...behind Jorges SUV :thumbup:

All packed in ice... with a faint heart beat waiting to be unleashed.


:_steering


Jo

[bartmanS4]

Let's hope it doesn't get rejected!

[JoFotoz]

Donor sold at cheap price...


Let's hope it doesn't get rejected!

... so assimilation is entirely up to new owner :cool:

But a six pack may help implantation!

:_beer:

Jo

[arcobarco]

Would Ldub happen to have some of that "clear bottle of devil piss, wedding Jack Daniels" left over from Moab last year? That would revive just about anything from the grave, and have the potency to get it to the moon and back. Zawanga! I hade me a little to much of that, but it was one hell of a wild memory.

[arcobarco]

Probably wouldn't help with a new implant. You might end up with sterility, so scratch that thought.

[VX KAT]

Nice!

You get the tranny to somewhere near me, dave and I can take it to Moab.

[bartmanS4]

You're gonna need a U-Haul to bring all the parts you're delivering!

[VX KAT]

You're gonna need a U-Haul to bring all the parts you're delivering!

We'll probably pull our utility trailer. :thumbup:

[JoFotoz]

Thanks Sue!

JR is looking at possibly getting a friend coming this way to haul it...

..if not, I'll have room to haul it .... if all goes to plan :cool:

But I'll certainly keep your offer in mind :thumbup:

Jo

[jhigareda]

Thanks Jo! Made it home and heart is in good shape. Now to start prepping for install and supplies needed. Hopefully be driving my VX soon. It was awesome connecting with somebody through the site and look forward to meeting more members.

[JoFotoz]

Awesome....good to know all went well :thumbup:

Great to meet you Jorge, and you are very welcome .

I've got some extra space and a few bucks for the next project..
..and you've got a new ticker!!

Perfect :dance:


Jo

[Scott Larson]

In the words of the fine folks at Guinness...BRILLIANT!!!!!

[Baldwin]

Should we all just put a little red dot on our license plates so that if ever one of ours dies, the authorities know where to rush our parts?

[tom4bren]

ROFL.

True Dat.

I know if'n mine were ever to get totalled beyond resurrection, I'd be pullin so many parts before it went to the boneyard that there wouldn't be anything left for them to sell.

When I wrapped my first Torino around a tree (throttle stuck) I had it towed back to my house and stripped EVERYTHING off that car. Most of it ended up on the replacement body. But, the salvage yard that picked up the remaining shell was really pissed!! I would probably NOT do that with my VX since I would not be building a replacement. I would let you vultures pick it clean. :)

[tom4bren]

Yah, but too many 'goodies' might get overlooked:

quick disconnect driveshaft
diff drops
panhard rod drop bracket
hitch
sparebumper
tow bar brackets
OFH rims

[Scott Larson]

If ever one of my VX's got schmushed beyond repair I'd hang onto it and let the "community" (Yous guyz) have at it and I'd still keep the shell for posterity so that future generations could continue to ask the question, "what the heck is that?" But then, for me, space is not a problem...I've got plenty between my ears! :rotate:

It was a GREAT thought Jer...HOWWEVER...before we left, I heard that transporting plutonium across state lines was, what they call..."FROWNED UPON"...so I left tha remainder there for tha staff...prolly why I got such a good report from my Doc today...:yes:

[Y33TREKker]

Jo
And to be even MORE clear, your initial post wasn't as clearly a reference to a heart transplant as you've tried to imply.

The only thing that indicated you were presenting it as a heart transplant thread was your esoteric Dr. CB comment.

What's ironic is that you're always one of the members here claiming it's only me who wants the last word, only to try to end these discussions by trying to claim the last words with your "drop it/leave it alone" comments.

[JoFotoz]

And once more ya dredge this up from the depths...

... so sorry the Christiaan Barnard ref wasnt clear... to you.


See ya in a few days no doubt ....

...or like you have intimated to others ( but hate it being intimated to you)

Ya could just leave it... or see below!!

[vt_maverick]

Here now I have the last word. :)

[bartmanS4]

Here now I have the last word. :)

Yes you do.

[yellowgizmo99]

accprding to Oakford dictionary: zyzzyva is the last word, so I have it and I win.

[Ldub]

accprding to Oakford dictionary: zyzzyva is the last word, so I have it and I win.

Brilliant...:yes:..:thumbup:..:laughing:

Wish I'd thought of that YEARS ago...:mbrasd:

Though someone will prolly claim that your spelling changed the meaning, thus putting him/her at a distinct disadvantage with regard to tha comprehension of meaning, therefore causing a major league BUNCH in his/her panties...:rolleyesg

And so it goes...:uhohgray:

I wasn't pick'n on ya, my comment was meant to reflect the "anything" that might set off another wordy diatribe...:yesgray:
