MangoInTX <===== newbie

**MangoInTX** · 01-25-2006, 08:57 PM

Howdy all, I'm from Texas (N. Dallas)... Don't worry I’m a transplant like most others in TX. I consider OK home, spend 25 yrs in Ponca City (150 miles from nowhere).

I’m a computer admin (windows, Cisco, Novell <=== yes we’re still running it but not for long, and all sorts of other stuff).

Worked as a mechanic, 6 yrs, for a seismographic vehicle manufacture right out of high school. After several layoffs and jobs I went back to school which began my computer career.

In 03 I got my first Dodge, RAM QC 5.7 and Hemi fever. Last year I traded in the RAM for a Mango Charger. Done several small mods so far and lined up for more. Dynatech LT headers came in today so I guess that’s next. KW v2/Hotchkis Sway bars/RAM Air Hood on order.

I need to clean out my garage which is usually my wood working shop, before more mods begin. My GF moved in and we’re merging two households. What a job! Along with that I have a 5yr old girl, which is the center of my world. A 17 yr old boy that’s my GFs, he wants to be a autotech, we’ll find out soon how true this is J ===> he’s going to help with the mods I have lined out.

I’ve been active on ChargerForms.com for some time and lurking the LX form for a while. I wanted to do the proper thing and say HI to everyone here.

Yo Mango - nice write up. Welcome to the forum and enjoy. Looks like you already have the mod bug too.

I caught that darn moding bug with the 03 RAM, can't shake it, don't want to!

So much to learn, I hadn't done serious modding until I got the 03 RAM so I'm in catch-up mode. I'm trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can.

Thanks GoofyTimL, love the sound of that color "midnight blue" too cool.

Early congrats on the 31 anniversary, you two are doing something right!
