New Bullitthead

Hello all.

It all started with a trip to an auto show where I went to primarily see the 09 Challenger and the Camaro. Then I saw it a Black Bullitt. I stared and gawked. Oh, yeah I saw the Challenger and the Bumblebee, but I became fixated on this car – a black Bullitt. Then acquired the motivation to figure out how to send a picture using my phone and then informed my wife that this is it, I am buying this car.

I researched and found out everything about the Bullitt. I viewed every web article I could Google, watched every YouTube video out there and then I stumbled across this website IMBOC. And read the warnings by Greg Autry, about how you start off slow and then you are obsessed with the car, you become a Bullitthead. I thought no way, it’s just a car right? RIGHT?

Now it’s been over five weeks since I’ve ordered my Bullitt, and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my black 08 Bullitt (hopefully less than two weeks away – that what I keep telling myself anyway). As the day’s countdown till arrival, I find myself logging onto the IMBOC website more frequently. My kids say, “You’re not looking at your car again are you?” To which I reply, “No, I’m checking my email. “

I didn’t have a problem – I didn’t think I did. :doubt:

Yes, I was in denial. Sometime over the past four weeks, I got hooked. I’ve got Ford’s Bullitt wallpaper pictures on my computers. The black Bullitt from the autoshow is on my phone. Yes I’m now a Bullitthead, I’m ordering parts for a car and I don’t even have it. I’ve tossed the dogs out of the garage, built a shed for the rest of the junk in the garage, and get this; my wife is in the process of completely redoing the garage so my Bullitt can sit in there with style.( Yeah, I’ll send pics when I get it in there.)

I’ve surfed the IMBOC site, read the articles. I’ve checked out the mods, problems, questions, and pictures. I’ve enjoyed reading about the stories and pictures of some of you picking your car up at the dealer and I’ve been happy for all of you and I anxiously await my turn.

But for those of you out there thinking about buying that Bullitt, take heed of Greg’s warning – it happened to me and it can happen to you too. If you are reading this you are already close, if you purchase the car you’ll be even closer, if you become an IMBOC member there is no turning back.

You see it's the car that pulls you in and it's the great people in these forums that keep you comming back.

I’m not sure how this process of maturing into a Bullitthead progresses, but I am looking forward to reading more questions, viewing more pictures, and enjoying more stories about my fellow Bullittheads.

Take care,
Mwilson
