PREMiERdrum Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) So today I'm on my way into work, and pull into a gas station to grab a drink before getting on the freeway. A blue Volvo S40 (with rental barcodes) swings in quickly beside me, a tall gentleman gets out and says "you're Ross from Blue Oval News, right?" Talk about being taken back. It was BON member roush235, who happened to recognize my car and "PREMiER" window decal, while in Central Ohio visiting from his home in Houston Texas. We chatted for a few minutes, he showed me some pics of his new 2012 Roush Mustang (holy crap guys, it's beautiful), then shook hands and parted ways. Talk about a small world, right? So if any of you find yourself behind a red Fusion with a small "PREMiER" in the rear window, flag me down and say hi. You never know.

I live in Y-town, but I'm down in "The Bus" quite a bit. Will keep my eyes peeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Car Examiner Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I once bumped into someone from the GMI forum at a Chevrolet Volt test-drive event. To my knowledge, I've never met anyone else from a forum I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is me in the middle with my arms folded. If you see me in person, say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roush235 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks Ross for the post. I am still amazed that this happened. I told my wife about it, she said "must have been driving a Mustang.". I replied, "No, a Fusion, but a nice one." That's what caught my eye, the decal cinched it. I'll post pics of the Roush when I get a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any family, there will be (sometimes strong) disagreements, but anyone who carries that shit into the street ought to be ashamed of themselves. I would never hesitate to say hi or :beerchug: with anyone* on here whom I recognized. (* = Must be of legal age B) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well if any of you are ever in South Florida/the Fort Lauderdale area, and see this (below), say hi! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstock Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Nice color! The Flex looks dramatically different, depending on color. Some sleds don't, but IMHO, the Flex sure does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMC's large wheels do an excellent job at disguising the Flex's size, as well. His Flex is sharp as anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomServo92 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Missouri City You're on the far side of Houston from me. I was hoping you were closer so I could see that Roush some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roush235 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just wanted to let Ross know that I was in the Columbus area again last weekend, but I did not run into him. That would have been absolutely weird if it had happened again. By the way, a pic of the Roush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Police, fire, staff and other citizens always flag me down in my city, not for a ticket, but just other business, doesn't matter if its the LS or MKX, they wave or stop me because they recognize my car. I dont want to be stopped, don't flag me down, I shop in supermarkets outside my city so I'm left in peace Send me an email... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
