Default CCJ22 bids farewell.

I wanted to say a formal goodbye to all of you. So many of you have assisted in answering many of my questions throughout the years I appreciate all of you.
Dave, thanks for putting up with my mouth and not banning me off this forum when you had ample opportunity to do so.

To answer common questions:

I'm leaving to Houston, TX soon from Florida to start a new business venture in the logistics field. I do not want to leave the Florida coast, however, money is difficult to pass up. And the chance to finally own my own business is tapping me on my shoulder.
Please do not post in this thread that you have dibs on X part.

The new vehicle I have my eye on is the 2014 2-door Evoque with the 9-spd automatic. I've heard ALL about how range rovers are complete crap. However, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. And I'm leaning hard on ordering one despite the rumors I've heard about range rover LR.




Lastly, to all of you that help make this forum what it is, thank you. I'll still check in from time to time as I have threads open that I'll check-in on, and aid in answering questions.

P.S. my build thread is HERE for those who wish to see the vehicle that I'm parting with
I am sad, and I will miss many of you.

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress of your car. Definitely one of the craziest builds I've seen on our forum. Props to you and your creative modding style. Best of luck in with the new business and car. Lastly, you'll be hearing from me soon...

I'm sure you'll have fun with an Evoque regardless!

Very sad to see your car be parted out. I'm from Houston and would've loved to see it in person, but you have your reasons. Hope everything works out here in Houston. Good luck

Exactly how it works
Buy car > Start Mod > Finish Mod > Sell Car > Get New Car > Start Mod > etc. etc. Haha!

money talks all else walks

sucks you have to give up your pride and joy. i know one day i will have to also (hopefully not), but thats the nature of it! i love range rovers + evoques. not sure i would get an evoque though as they are quite small looking. although in that category or like smaller SUVs, GLK, X1, X3, Q5, i think thats it. the evoque is best looking. at least opt for a 4 door

hope the business good grreat and houston is an amazing city i go there often you will love it and pretty similar to florida (weather wise), good luck man!

Damn, would have been nice to add you to the lineup here in Houston with your IS. If you ever want to meet up when you get out here let me know. good luck with your new endeavors.
