[pwee05]

My real name is Greg but pwee has always been my nickname since 8th grade football. My pads were bigger than my body and I looked funny.

I'm 26 years old and have been working on cars with my dad since I was about 6 or so. changing brakes and shit like that until I was about 19 when I bought my first eclipse. Thats when I started building engines. I found it to be very exhilerating and extremely fun to create a specific engine for a specific purpose.

I completed 5 years at Indiana University of Pennsylvania obtaining a Bachelor's of Science degree in Exercise Science and a minor of Athletic Training. I hold the certification of Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist(CSCS) from the National Strength & Conditioning Association(NSCA). I am currently enrolled in a Master's program at California University in Pennsylvania studying Rehabilitation Sciences. I am employed full time at Lancaster General Bariatrics as a Bariatric Exercise Phyisologist.

During my time in school I was part of a group of guys that did some racing. 2 of our guys were part of Brent Rau's crew when he was affiliated with slowboy racing. If you don't know who Brent Rau is you've been living under a DSM rock. if you don't own a DSM go to youtube and search his name....you will find out.

Since graduating i've built 3 cars, one of which was for myself but since i'm not handy with wiring harnesses I couldn't get it to run so I sold it. One other blew up because the guy I built it for took it up a mountain road wide open for the first few miles of the engines life. He made it to 4th gear before it spun a bearing and locked up. I almost cried. the third still lives as far as I know, has put down some good numbers but was for sale the last time I heard. The 4th car is mine and the one i'm currently working on. This one will be pretty fast car. I hope to eventually make about 800-850awdhp, 10,000+rpm redline 2.1L or 2.3L that will probably make me shit my pants a couple times.

Other than that, I just hang out with my dog, my friends, my beer, and post on here mostly because i'm bored at work in between patients. The wife and I are looking for a house to live here in Lancaster, PA for about 4-5 years and then move back home to the Allegheny mountains where we belong. Back to Steeler country WOOT!

[SeMi380]

Let's see my real name is Pete and I'll be 21 next month. My friends started calling me semi in like my freshman year of high school and that name just kinda stuck. I was born in Poland and came to jersey when I was 4. Don't really have intentions of going back to Poland cause they're trying to get me to go to the army there cause it's mandatory and technically I'm wanted there for ditching out on it. It also blows there and it's fucking boring. I graduated high school in 2005 and now I go to Middlesex County College (local community college). I'm majoring in Biology but I don't have half a clue what I wanna do when I get out. I love cars but mostly DSMs. I mainly just mess around with them as a hobby. I learned about cars from my older cousin. He's really big on hondas and whenever I hung out with him he was also swapping motors or trannys and this, that, and a third. Eventually I started to understand a bit of what he was doing. I think about 90% of the knowledge I have about cars is just from reading shit on forums like this and dsmtuners. I've been on dsmtuners for like a year now and still have no posts. It taught me how everything works and how to understand everything. I just have a problem identifying parts when I'm actually shown them in person but it's a learning experience and I'm sure I'll get it one day. My parents hate my car and tell me it's a piece of shit everyday but hey it's my car and I love it. I usually just hang out with my friends when I'm not in school or fixing my car. I go to a lot of car meets around here when I don't have shit to do cause it's nice to be able to talk to somebody about cars without them looking at you like you got a head growing out of your ass. I don't really go out and drink that often like your typical college kid cause I don't feel like getting a DUI. I go out a lot with my friends to parties and normal shit like that. Right now I'm just goin to school, lookin for a well paying part time job, fixin my car, and goin out on weekends.

[bobthecow]

Ummmm...

My name is Nick. Born in arkansas, live in STL. I am extremely negative about nearly everything. I broke my knee playing basketball in 8th grade, and it hurts like a bitch every day. Come to think of it, there is just about nothing right with my physical body. Everything has been destroyed playing sports.

I graduated highschool with a 3.8, even though I only went for about 1/2 of the days both my senior and junior year. I graduated with my associates in history with a 3.75, and a 4.0 in my major. I am in a program that will get me my masters in history in 3 semesters because I am a genius. I will be minoring in philosophy, and therefore no one can ever out argue me on this forum. I will not be writing a masters thesis, I plan to teach.

I can only listen to every song of one band, RHCP. I play guitar, and spend too much on it. I hate pretty much every kind of music and every band, but there are about 40-50 decent ones at any given time.

Mitsubishi's are the biggest pieces of shit in the world, but for some reason I keep buying them and wanting them. My next car is gonna be a C4 Corvette to compliment the Mach 1 sitting in my driveway. The 3g is going to sit on it's own little pad far away. Someday I will own a 1g VR4 and a 1992 NSX-R, and maybe even a Ferrari 512TR if I can get through the college teaching system fast enough.

I can take about 8 shots of 151 before I am drunk, 16 before I am trashed. I have 2 small stomach ulcers. I've never puked after drinking. Everclear, drinks with fruit in them, and margaritas are all for fags. If I'm gonna buy beer it is going to be the good stuff for an extra dollar.

I am happily engaged, and will be getting married soon I hope. It will be a sad... but happy day. She is part japanese, WooT for me.

[fullmetalpanic]

My name is Lindsay. For those that don't know I am a woman :banana: I am 24 and was born in Albany, NY. I was adopted and raised in upstate NY. I met my husband in HS and we've been together for about 8 years; married on 07/07/07.

I graduated from The College of St Rose with a bachelors in History and Political Science and a minor in teaching. I moved to Texas in 2007 for my husband's school/job (hes an ATC). I plan on going back to school to get my masters in Library Science. I work full time for HD Supply as a CSR.... hey, it gets the bills paid.

I've always been a tomboy(but not in the dyke kind of way). I was a catcher in a softball league for 12 years and a coach for 3 years. I was always into cars, and worked on them when I was younger with my father. My first car was a lemon so I got lots of experience with that Subaru. Done engine swaps, and engine repairs so many times I've lost count.

I like beer, boobs, and cars. I read an insane amount of books a year. I play a lot of video games, online MMORPGs, strategy, and RPGS. I'm also really big into anime and manga, I plan on writing my master's thesis based on something in this realm.... I'd explain but it might bore you all :laughing:

[Ice 9]

My names Brian. I'm 18 turning 19 in 3 months. i get called Mike or Michael alot cause my last names Michaeli, i'm like half Italian on my dads side, but idk actually what percent.
I've got medical problems, Asthma Diabetes and Cystic Fibrosis.
Curently working at a grocery store 3 days a week and going back to school. i droped out half way through my senior year because i missed about a month straight being in the hospital. the school wouldn't work with me at all and i just got worn out so i quit, lame excuse but oh well.
I learn by doing, reading about how to do something 90% of the time will confuse me and i'd of been better off winging it lol.
I grew up mostly in Arizona, and a few years in San Diego, before i came to a tiny boring cold town in Utah..
Mostly i'm interested in tring to learn about my car and playing video games, racing and rts, i get slaughtered in fps's.
Drugs piss me off too, had a lot of family get f'ed up on em.
I love driving as long as theres not much trafic, give me a long windey highway with no one around and i'm a happy camper.
Well i guess that me.

[militaryman108]

My name is adam, im 18 years old and im currently a student at miami university of oxford. I transfered 27 credit hours from high school into college so i may graduate a semester early but i highly doubt it. I should be doing navy ROTC but the program at miami (all rotc programs at miami) are piss poor and lack of communication pretty much excluded me from the program.

In my highschool past, i purchased my 93 talon for $3k with my own cash. It was on the first night i had it which i blew a tire a ended up in a ditch with some scars from the seat belt and whatknot to prove it. My parentals flipped bc the car didn't have airbags (still had a 4 star crash test rating). They made the decision to sell my car i paid for and i told them to fck off. i packed my shit and went to the atm to get what was left in my bank account. when i got there i realized that they had withdrawn all my $$$. So for the next almost 2 weeks i lived on my own, mooched off of friends and whatknot, still going to school and wrestling practice everyday. My parents finally gave in, gave me my money back and we settled upon an agreement which included now my 95.

More recently, my parents have stepped outside their legal and ethical boundaries of their parental jobs so it turns out i may be disowning them again. Thsi is not big deal as the army just threw 180k at me for the next 3 years of my college.

I don't get to work on my car a lot because i don't live with it (yet, this will change come december/january).

thats pretty much my life story :D

[Thetrick]

I'm Travis,

I'm 19, going on 20 come January 13th. I was born Friday the 13th, along with my cousin, who was born July 13th. I grew up in Boise, Idaho, where I was surrounded by ghetto gangster vato's, who drove riced up civics everywhere. I never really liked the Eclipse until recently, one day I saw a 2nd gen and realize that it was a damn good looking car, and decided that I will someday have one.

When I was 16 my parents moved to Portland, Oregon, where I finished up High School. I had the classic fall in love and get screwed over horribly, with the massive amount of emo that came afterwards, so I barely graduated high school.

I have a bit of a superiority complex, my dad has a Mensa level IQ, and is a damn genius, so for some reason, I've grown up with that attitude, even though I'm not MENSA level =(.

I work at Micron in Salt Lake City, and recently elected to stay here instead of moving back to Portland with my family, due to the fact that they pay for all of my college, and I'm still making 15 bucks an hour, which I consider good for being 19. So I'll pretty much be homeless until me and my room mate get a place together.

I'm entirely too judgemental of people, and I try to work on that a lot, especially because I preach about how people need to be understanding of each other.

I'm a bit of an attention whore, Mo-hawk, piercings and tattoo's, I'm sarcastic and loud mouthed, even if I know I don't have a chance of winning my argument, I'll clutch onto it until the bloody end.

I consider myself a good friend, I'm very loyal to my friends, and would help them until I couldn't physically do it anymore.

I love weight lifting, I just recently started getting really back into it, and I'm slowly working my way back to what I was back in High School.

I guess that's enough random stuff about me for now =P. I'm surprised more people haven't replied in this thread, honestly.

[Lewiman06]

i'm mike

[Angel_of_Deth]

Here is some info that is about me, but taken off of another set of forums that I tend
to frequent. It was in a thread for Dave Mustaine so he could get to know all of us
a bit better, and know a bit more about us than what the usual morning chats in the
morning tend to offer while talking with him. So if it is good enough for Dave.... I
Figured that I would post it in here for you guys.

Hmmm...
Nothing much to tell. I was born in 1979, in Texas. Pageants from ages 2 - 14. Family was real big in the oil industry till about 1984. Parents are divorced, and I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. It was my older brothers that got me into Megadeth back in 86'.
I listen to just about anything and everything when it comes to music, excluding 98% of Rap and R&B. It just isnt my forte. My favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas. My beliefs are Ananda Marga. If you dont know what that is, the closest thing you can relate it to is Buddhist.
I am prior-service United States Army. My MOS (or job for those of you who dont know Military lexicon) was 91B (Back then anyways... it has changed), AKA: Combat Medic.
I am a mother, and I am Engaged... or rather just in a REALLY long term relationship with Calin. His father worked for the UN for quite some time as a Director of concepts and planning and for the international atomic energy agency. Very smart man!
I tend to surround myself with people who make me think. I tend to find those who are self centered rather dull, and they just pull me down.
I am a lover of food! I am lucky that Calin is such a wonderful cook... though I do personally love to do cooking that is more southern and comfort food.

I am a bit of a product whore. I am always on the look out for something new to try either on myself or my few girlfriends that I do have. I tend to get along better with men rather than women. For some reason women (IRL) seem to think that "I am trying to steal their man away"

I love shows such as House MD, Nip/Tuck, Animal Police, Forensic Files, Stargate SG1, and Bones. My favorite movies are along the lines of Event Horizon, the Aliens series, and what not. It is pretty rare that I am not wanting to watch something.
Favorite books... Oh lordy! It is all I seem to do is read. I am notorious amongst my friends for being known to finish a 400 page book in a day! I love Stephen King, Elisabeth Moon, Patrick Suskind, Don Miguel Ruiz, V.C. Andrews, John Saul, and Michael Crichton. I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on

I am one of those kinds of girls that absolutely loves to dress up even if it is just going to the firing range. I have never been known to take longer than 10 mins to get ready though unless it is for a special event. Then I will make sure that nothing is overlooked.

Random Information about me:

I absolutely love ballet. I have never once taken a class with other, but rather have taken private lessons. The reason for this is because when I was 13 years old I shattered my knee caps. So the pain can be intense... but I have learned to dance though it and with a smile.

I am fascinated with anything involving the medical field. When I joined the Army I even went as a 91B Combat Medic.

I love to volunteer my time. I believe in small generous actions that you can really change someones life, or even better save it.

I love to collect tiny bottles. Be it perfume or just antique. I have never understood this fully.

I have OCD. Everything has to be symmetrical. I am paranoid of germs.

Absolutely love to read... My book collection has just recently started to come about again. About 15 years ago I had over 1000 books, but due to my moving to Utah, they were given to a cousin.

I am a bit of a clean freak. That goes kinda back to the whole Obsessive compulsive disorder of everything has to be symmetrical. Everything also needs to be in its place. But if everything goes to pot around me I tend to give up on the cleaning bit because I feel overwhelmed.

I love to do cross stitch, crochet, and other little projects. I also happen to build things with my hands. Model cars, or working on the real thing. I have no qualms in getting my hand dirty.

Wigs... I dont need them, but I love to wear them. My hair reaches about just past my bra connection strap. But I love to wear them to dress up or to just change my look.

Presents, I love to give them. Even if it is just a little thing... I absolutely love to get inside someone's head and figure out how they tick so when I give them something it makes them extremely happy. I love to make people smile.

There are few people in this world who I would do everything for... and I do mean Anything and Everything. Because of my shy side though, I havent told those people because I am afraid they would reject that kind of love from me.

When I say I love you, I mean it. I believe that the spoken word is one of the most powerful forms of magic that is known. With a simple word you can shatter someone, or lift them up. So when I say something I mean it.

I am the eternal joker... I love to play pranks, and little jokes on people. I am always looking for ways to make people smile.

My favorite gemstone is the Sapphire.

My most treasured possession is my Grandmothers mother of pearl necklace.

I stopped doing pageants when I was 15 because I was concerned about the scar on my forehead, as well as other scars that I had obtained from fighting too much.

There is not a single CD that I dont burn that doesnt have Megadeth, Pearl Jam, or VNV Nation.

I still call people Dear, Darlin, Sweetheart, Sugarbritches, or Sug. This is sometime because I cant remember their names, but mostly because I find these to be terms of endearment... and I use them because part of me loves them in my own special way.

I prefer to keep my clothing classic, as well as my looks.

My favorite family member was my Grandmother.

I am not close to my father... kinda close to my mom.

I would rather receive a card filled with love, than diamonds.

My favorite flower is the lily, or the trillium.

My favorite color of Rose is white.

My favorite colors are white, silver, black, and sapphire blue.

My eyes change colors depending on my mood Blue (deep or light) = Happy. Grey = Depressed. Green = ticked off. Violet = seeing red (violently angry)

I love red wine. I drink at least 2 glasses a day. (or try to)

My belief system is Ananda Marga. The closest you could relate that to if you have never heard of it is Buddhist. I still hold tight to some of my pagan beliefs such as salt for purity, and obsidian by the doors to absorb negative energy.

My favorite perfume is Cool Water for women, and Kennith Cole Black for women. I am also known to wear Anthousa Fig and Vetiver, and Black Amythist from Bath and body works

[sikballa13]

My names Mike.
Im 17 turning 18 in march. Im consistantly made fun of for my age for some reason so i get defensive about it because its stupid.

I love dirtbiking, i got started when i was 10
I have a
2000 honda xr 80
2002 suzuki rm 125
2002 Yamaha yz426f


i also ride quads which is alot of fun. ive been riding since i was 4.
i have a
2004 kawasaki prarie 360
2006 polaris sportsman 800 (beast)

if anyone has a dirtbike or quad in the new york area and would like to go riding, let me know, i know alot of trails.

My mother died when i was 13 and my father became a drunk until i was 15 when he got pulled over for doing donuts in a parking lot while drunk, and high. after that he still refused to show me he even cared about my except to give me allowance. i drove before i had a license from 14-16 because he wasnt there.
now im 17 and he purposed to his girlfriend that hes been with for a year and now he's "cleaned up his act" and wants to become part of my life again.

I'm alot more mature than alot of kids my age because of this.
i hate stupid people and get angry at people who have no common sense.
I have anger problems because of how my family was and it sucks because it affects everyone around me but i cant help myself.

A few monthes ago i bought my eclipse not knowing anything about cars, with the thought, if it looks nice, it must run nice. YEAH RIGHT. my car ran like shit until i found this forum. Everyone here helped me get my car running and in the end has made me a more mellow happy person because that was one less thing pissing me off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Im slowly learning more and more about cars and hopefully want to go to UTI and continue learning.

I have a girlfriend that i have been with for 2 years and it seems like were married. We are very happy and I love her very much. we have been through more shit than any 17 and 16 year old should have been through but its made us stronger.

And i guess thats it.
Oh and my favorite colors are black and red

[I_R_5m4r7]

my name is tim, im 22 yo, in the air force and im an Engineering Journeyman.
i know 99% of everything there is to know in the universe, some might say "but tim, this is impossible" i say nay to my friends. but seriously tho i am a know it all, and not one of those "omg ur wrong cuz i said so" know it alls, but im a know it all becuase most of the time, im right. it gets me introuble with my wife sometimes. been married for about 5 months. i drive a shity 91 galant GSR that i wish every second of every day was a VR4 with a GIANT turbo and a smokin hot paintjob, but alas it is not. i have always had a love for taking things apart and finding out how they work then putting them back together and improving them. figured cars was just the natural way to go. a project is never really "finished" in my eyes. there is always one more thing that can be tweaked to provide just that little extra that you want.

my parents got divorced when i was about 5 and for the next 8ish years i bounced back and forth between a mother that neglected to feed or bathe me and a father who never talked to me. i have been raising myself since i was 14 years old and have been homeless 3 times. i smoked weed for about 5 years and am a better person for being drug free. i saw someone earlier mention MENSA and it sparked a memory about a letter i found a while back with my dads name on it. he had been accepted to mensa but he just never went thru with it. i got an IQ test once but its all complete BS...IQ is your ability to learn not how smart you are. i consider myself smart because ive lived more life in my 22 years thanmost people have in 40.

so stick that in ur pipe and smoke it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/banana.gif)

[calin666]

My name is Michael.
I was born in Longbeach, CA, in 1973, but never lived there.
I lived most of my life in Washington State, until 1984, when we moved to Vienna, Austria. Vienna was to be a major part of my life, and Europe the European life, was the most influential force in my life.
My father worked for the United Nations, with the International Atomic Energy Agency. We returned to Seattle, WA in '87, but only stayed for three years, returning to Vienna in mid '89.
I graduated from the American International School in Vienna, Austria in 1992, and returned to the States, returning to Vienna in mid 93 after living in Worcester, MA for some schooling.
Late in 93 I moved back to the States, and lived in Richland, WA (For those familiar withe Washington, that area is also know as the Tri-Cities), and went to college for awhile, but found it overly boring, and dropped out after a year.
Eventually, I went to Job Corp. in Yakima, WA for Auto Body Training. After a year, I transferred to the Advanced UAW Auto Body training facility here in Clearfield, UT, and graduated in 1999.
I went straight to work for a dealership doing body work. I eventually gave my boss the "Finger Notice", and walked out the door, since he refused to treat me equitably.
I met my wife Raven (Angel of Deth) in mid 98, and we have been together since (There was a one year separation in 2001, but we got back together).
Life is rocky for some people, and it is no different for us. Some how, we always make it work.

I moved around a lot in my life, and never really put down roots any where. Moving for me, is just another day in my life.
Most people seem to live in a certain area for a long time, and have friends from high school in the area. I still have a few friends from high school, but they are spread out around the world. I do keep in touch with them.

In 1986, when I was in 5th grade, I came close to being killed by a terrorist bombing, that the PLO claimed responsibility for. It was after school, and I was coming home from an orthodontist appointment in down town Vienna. On my way to the subway (The are U-Bahn in German) I stopped of at a McDonalds for a cheese burger. I ate, and left.
The entrance to the subway was about 50 feet from the McDonalds. I was about half way down the escalator, when there was an explosion, the whole place shook, and power went out, and my ears rang (I still don't hear very well). Myself and all the others ran back outside, and saw what had happened. The place was demolished. Myself and others helped rescue people that were injured. I was only about 10 at the time, but I still had courage, and knew what needed to be done.
If I had left 20 - 30 seconds latter, I most likely would have been dead. The entire front part of the McDonalds was gone, and that is where I was eating.
Latter on we found out that there was some foreign dignitary that lived across the street, which was the intended target. He lived. 8 innocent human beings died.
Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of shit like that, dead bodies, critical injuries, and the like. I have been called calloused, and uncaring because things like that don't have much of an impact on me anymore. I guess when you grow up like that, it just doesn't phase you as much as it should. That's not saying I have seen it all, or that I am some hard assed mofo, not even close, I just think I have seen my share, and it doesn't bother me.
When I heard that Yassir Arafat was up for a Nobel Peace Prize, and then won it............. I was enraged, furious, angry beyond any ones understanding. That piece of shit killed people all over the world, almost killed me...... and people want to hail him as a Hero of Peace for the entire World???? No. Never. I celebrated his death. To me it was the passing of a person similar to Hitler. I hated him. Granted I am biased.
I have no sympathy for liars, cheats, or thieves. I have been lied to, and betrayed by almost every single person I have ever know, with the exception of my family, and a select few others. People who have said they were my "brother", have lied and betrayed me.
Because of this, I trust almost no one. Trust is earned with me, and if you betray that trust, it is unlikely it will ever be offered again. I might be your friend afterward, I might forgive you..... but I will not trust you again.
My connection to the human race is limited. I acknowledge that you have the right to exist, and no more. I hate almost everyone from the very first second I meet them, and am suspicious of every one, sometimes for years. I have a very hard time believing that anybody does something for nothing, people always want something in return for what they do. I think it is funny, since I sincerely want to help others, for nothing in return. Simply doing something good for somebody, the feeling I get from that, is reward enough. I like knowing that I have helped somebody who really needed it. I guess I am weird that way.
Most people though............ they just need to be wiped out. I firmly believe that the human race needs to be destroyed, so that we can start out all over again, and do it right this time. Even if I die, if my entire blood line dies..... I am fine with that, just so long as we get a chance to do it right next time.
"You don't see them (the Aliens) screwing each other over for a god damn percentage, do you?" - Ripley, Aliens
That quote about sums it up.

I have always loved the Mitsubishi Eclipse, from day one. The first time I saw one was in 1994. I still remember it was a cold fall day, and I was looking at getting my second car. It was a blue,non turbo, 1990 in perfect condition. The guy wanted $6000 for it. I was hoping to work him down, but couldn't get him low enough, and had to pass. I have wanted one, and have loved these cars ever since.
Because of how I grew up, I never got the jump start on automotive stuff, like many kids my age in the States. My knowledge came much latter, really only in the last 10 years or so, and I have enjoyed working on cars ever since. So yeah, I have lots to learn.

I have always had an interest in guns though, ever since I was 11, I have enjoyed firearms. I am the only one in my family that has ever had a Carry Concealed Weapons permit, and the only one to have as many firearms as I do.
My parents think I am a little weird for having a CCW permit (especially my mother, who thinks it's a really bad idea, since I have a bit of a temper).
My temper has ALWAYS been a problem for me, but I recognize this, and have actively worked to curb it, and, I think I have done a rather good job. I am a much more mellow person now, compared to the person I was 10 years ago. Still, it does on occasion get the better of me.

I love computers, and did go to college about 5 years ago for computer networking, but got bored (this is a normal thing in my life. I get bored easily if I am not challenged), and dropped out again. My computer tech knowledge is a little out of date though, since I stopped building systems, and keeping up on the tech. I still know a fair amount though, way more than enough to get in trouble.

I can be a great guy. Or I can be the biggest, hardest asshole in the world. It just depends on how I am treated. I really don't cer if people like me or not. I don't really BS that much, and I don't gossip. Gossip and rumors always leads to problems, and I am sick, and fucking tired of the drama it causes. I don't want, need, or like it. I generally have no respect for people who do that sort of thing, and think that they should be the first ones down the slide of razor blades with a pool of alcohol at the bottom. If you even treat me with a TINY BIT of respect, I will give that back to you, X2. That same equation works for negative as well. It's all up to the individual.

Some people used to say that I had an anger problem, and should think about an anger management class. I don't have an anger problem, I have and IDIOT PROBLEM. If you are stupid, well, it's your fault if I flame/pick on you. It's not your fault your are stupid, it is your fault for OPENING YOUR MOUTH.

I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question (with a few exceptions), and I am sure I ask plenty of them myself.

Most of the time, I am pretty easy going, and just want to have fun. I am the eternal smart ass. When I need to be serious though, I always am. I just don't like it much. If I can get a point across, and do it in a humorous manner, I will try that first.

I try to get on here frequently. This would normally be a problem, since I am a truck driver by profession, and never home. I have a 1G Motorola Q cell phone though, and this cell does what ever I want on the net. 98% of ALL my posts are done from my cell phone. Long ones like this, this is on the computer. So if there are letters missing here and there, please forgive me, I on my cell, and I didn't hit the key hard enough (I am getting a new phone soon, and hopefully I won't have that problem with the HTC Mogul I am going to get).
Here is an idea of what I have to drive through Mon - Tue: http://www.wyoroad.info/highway/webcameras...2TetonPass.html
NOTE: This pic will change, since it is a direct link that is updated from time to time. Right now it is winter, and you will get an idea. Summer is great though.

I like a lot of different music, and can tolerate most kinds, with the exception of rap, country, hip hop, and R&B. People used to say that metal made people violent. Rap, country, hip hop, and R&B make ME violent. ESPECIALLY rap. That shit is about as much fun as a sharp stick in the eye. I don't consider it music, it is simply noise pollution, nothing more. Oh yeah, Spanish music drives me up the fucking wall (no offense intended), and I will do just about anything to get away from it, including pouring molten metal in my ears, or chewing off a limb to run away. It's like, oompaloompa, wanna be, bad German Beer hall drinking music. Mariachi style music though.... that's ok, and I can deal with it.
I don't have any FAVORITE bands, but I do have several that I like to listen to: Megadeth (old), Metalliaca (old), Slayer, Death, Nightwish, Beautiful Sin, La Cuna Coil, Within Temptation, and dozens of others.
Classical symphonic is a favorite, of course. And yes, I even enjoy the occasional opera, and even ballet. Music is music. Enjoy what makes you move.

After everything that has happened in my life, on thing that is still a problem for me (granted, it is much less now), is culture shock. I lived in Europe for so long, that it became part of me, and who I am. American culture is still a bit of a shock to me on occasion, I just don't understand some things.

There are not many things that are important to me in my life, but those that are, are my loves.
My wife (best woman in the world, even though I don't express it often. So I am emotionally detached, bite me), my family, my cats, and of course..... my DSM.

My name is Austin and eventually ill get around to discussing myself more comprehensively.

[Turd Ferguson]

My real name is Chase; sorry it's not Burt Reynolds. I'm 24. I've owned my Eclipse for four and a half years and couldn't give it up for the world. I had it for sale for a few months due to me being broke, but priced it too high and refused any offers so I could keep it. I put it up for sale to make me think I could actually do it. Kinda dumb. My car's the guinea pig of my group. Someone would say,"I wonder if that would work." And I would reply, "Lets find out!" I love DIY car mods. It makes my car very unique. I experimented in HHO for a few months but couldn't create the perfect generator for it. Haven't given up yet though. I have a few other ideas to make a car run off of HHO (water in gas state) that would produce high dyno numbers. When I get the money I'll commit to it.

I'm also a photographer. I don't do B&W photography, I love color too much. I'm an artist I'm supposed to. I put a few works on http://theturdferguson.deviantart.com when I am happy with them.

I recently moved to Charleston SC to find more job opportunities, but to my dismay I am now a projectionist at Cinebarre. The bad part is that I graduated in December with a BA in visual arts. Still looking for that great opportunity.

I'm Chris. I'm 19. I live in Lancaster county,PA and no Im not Amish. I am a freshman at PSU majoring in BioChem, but I will be transferring back home to Millersville, PA due to low funds. I have wrestled for my 12 years in highschool, played baseball up till 10 grade. I have been racing GNC motocross for 6 years now. I have two quads. A 2005 YFZ450 and a 1986 TRX250r. I bought my Eclipse august of 2007. Then in April of 2008 I rear ended another car in the rain. So pulled the engine and rebuilt everything. Did all body work and painted it a mettalic charcoal color. I will post up pictures once I lower it. I put rims and tires on and I have a big gap in the wheel wells. This car is my baby. Yeah it's not the fastest thing around, but hey it looks good, so that counts. In the next year I will be buying a 1999-2002 Pontiac WS6. I have always wanted one since I rode in one when I was younger.
In my spare time I play too many video games. Halo, Gears, Forza, and any Need for Speed game.
I have a g/f friend who I met at my job and we have been dating for two years now.
My life is rather fast paced. Other than playing games, I am always up and about. I can't sit still long. When I get bored I drive. Just drive and waste gas. But its worth it.
I like owrking on motors, I helped my dad rebuild an egine when I was 8. SInce then I have always been working on cars. I help rebuild my dads 62 Nova set up for drag. I have owned three cars(Jeep, Grand-am, eclipse) and have rebuilt each ones motors. 420A was the easiest. I work at a local race shop rebuilding atv engines. I'm the bottom end guy. Spit the cases, replace what's needed, put back together.
I'm somewhat addicted to working-out. It's a stress relever.
I would love to turbo my 420A just like every other 420A owner. But I can't decide either get the satisfaction of turboing the car I have now or buy a GST/GSX.
But enough rambling.
I'm Chris. I'm 19. I own an Eclipse. That's why I'm here.

[roughneckeyad]

My name is Eyad. and im 20 years old.
I was born in Jordan, moved to Ivory Coast, back to jordan, then Dubai, then United States of America!! Thats just the countries i lived in. I have been to almost all this world, Ive been to alot of african countries, togo, senegal, kenya... Most of the middle east, Lebanon, egypt, syria... Germany...France... Canada...................... u name it, ive been there. I graduated from High school with a 4.14 GPA, yes out of 4! My program was the british IGCSE from cambrdige university, O-levels and A-levels. I graduated in the top 10 students in the Country which was the Emirates, got a nice gift cheque from the sheikh of Dubai. :-) Then we moved to the US. Im at Georgia Institute of Technology right now, doing Finance and Quantitative analysis concentrations on my Science in MGT major.
I never liked cars before, and i got into that stuff after i got the eclipse, and i love it.
Im very good with numbers, give me any equation and il do it for fun. I did all calculus for fun even though it wasnt required for my major. Im not a nerd at all, matter of fact, i pass every semester at school without even buying the books most of the times, and i study an average of 30 minutes a week no joke.

I'm a super honest person. Honesty is my policy and i keep 99.9999% of my promises. Which means, i get in trouble alot, but i end up sorting everything out at the end.
This is the longest ive ever spoken/written about myself. Im usualy very quite and reserved about myself. People usualy dont get to know me pretty quick.

Bored at work at the moment so why not!

Name is Steven, born and grew up in socal, am 23 years old. Graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 08 with a Bachelors of Science in Geology, with a math minor and chem minor. Absolutely hated the weather in the midwest so moving back here was an easy decision. Raced bicyles and played alot of hold em' in college. Got my first real job in December as an environmental consultant, and currently live in Orange County. Salary is pretty good for just a Bachelors, but I also make an extra 12k (+/- 1k) a year by going to vegas for a weekend once a month to take money from the no-limit hold em' players there (come find me at the Veniecian!). Starting August I'll also be going part-time for my masters in Civil Engineering with a double concentration in Structural and Environmental Engineering.

I bought my eclipse in highschool and have had it for about 7 years now. Didn't really mod it or anything because I was poor making minimum until I landed my current job, used my sign-on bonus to do a little modding project (I love working on and making things). Recently decided that putting in any more money into the car wasn't quite worth it and am currently saving for a downpayment on a Z06 vette. I like to keep my monthly payments low. Absolutely love my car though despite it's crap 0-60.

Uhhhh what else. I'm really into photography, want to travel to Africa someday. Love fast cars, Megan Fox, and GO LAKERS
