Introduction thread

I know we used to have one but we don't anymore. I think we should all get to know each other a little bit, so if you want to post your name where you live and maybe a little about yourself that would be cool.

My name is Scott Schafer(you know me as pr_ricer), I live in Austin Minnesota. I drive a 95 TSi, I'm 18 and a senior in highschool but I go to collage full time. I go to school for auto tech. I like to skateboard, dabble with electric guitar, go out with friends and hang with women. I also build computers in my spare time

EDIT:Think we could get this to be a sticky?

Re: Introduction thread

UPDATE:

I'm David. I live in Chicago, IL. I drive a 95 Talon ESi 5spd. Work for Budweiser as the head graphics designer and web master for the Chicago distributor. Basically make signs for bars and stores and maintain the website. I have a bachelors degree in Digital Media Tech with a minor in Music. I own my own web/graphic design business.

In my spare time I play guitar, bass, drums, piano, pretty much anything. I do some recording also. Trying to get more involved in that.



I think that's all.

Re: Introduction thread

I'm Dustin and I live in northern Minnesota. I drive a 01 Cavalier, but hopefully I will soon find a DSM (just called about one, hes going to call me back if its AWD *crossed fingers*). Until then, I work on my friends 1991 Eage Talon TSI AWD dubbed "Project: POS". I love working on cars, but for now just as a hobby/side job for friends and family in the summer for some extra cash. I'll be going to NDSU or the U of M's IT next year to major in mechanical engineering, hopefully to design and build cars. I too enjoy music. I'm in our schools show choir called Vocalmotive that got Grand Champion and Best Band this past Saturday (Feb 18th). I am also working on a rap album and I play bass in an "Alternative Punk" band or whatever you'd like to call us.

Oh yeah, I too build computers. Well at least I used to. I still tinker when a tinkering is needed though .

Re: Introduction thread

My name is TJ. I live in Allston, MA. I graduated from Boston College in May '05 with an Accounting degree and am currently working in Boston as an auditor. I'm still adjusting to this whole "real life" thing but I too dabble in music and tinker with computers. I picked up the drums for the college band I was in and I played guitar for 4 years before that.

I drive the car in my sig. I love it but I hate it. You all know what I'm talking about.

Re: Introduction thread

I'm Chris. I'm 19 and attending college at University of Wisconsin - Platteville, majoring in "Computer Science" for the time being...not sure how much longer that's gonna last. Not real thrilled with the whole programming aspect of things, but hardware is fun to mess around with. Seems to be a trend with DSM owners being into computers...lol. I also work at the Help Desk on campus, taking calls from stupid people who need to be slapped up every once in awhile.

Anyway, I drive a '99 Eclipse GS. Very lightly modded at the moment. I play a little basketball, hang with friends, listen to a lot of music, watch movies, always trying to make some extra $$$ so I can buy stuff for the car. I play a few video games, but not so much anymore. I also have a myspace, so if anybody wants to add me go ahead, just be sure to send me a message and let me know your on the forums cuz I don't usually accept weird people I don't know: www.myspace.com/chris_martens26

Re: Introduction thread

I'm Garrett Thompson, 19 years of age (20 in july), I grew up in a very rural town in north-east North Dakota, Grafton to be exact. My dad owns a large farming corporation so I'm technically a "farm boy" but I lived in a nice house right outside the city, not actually on the farm. I spend the majority of my summer weeknights working out at the farm on my cars or my buddies cars and on the weekends I go to the lake and wakeboard, hang out with friends, and just have a good time. I like to snowboard in the winter and also ride snowmobile, in the summer I race go-karts on a 1/8 dirt oval and I also like to ride motorcycle and 4-wheelers. I currently attend college at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, I'm a freshman majoring in Computer Engineering but the programming is getting sort of old, I like cars much better. I have a part-time job at Hollister Co. and I'd much rather be at home just working on my cars. That's my life, welcome to it.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I own 3 DSM's and drive a 01 Chevy Monte Carlo sittin on 20's. My DSM's are a 95 Eclipse RS (blown), 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD (under construction) and a 97 Eclipse GS-T (sort-of a parts car). This summer I will get working on the RS to get it up and running again, maybe have big plans for it like a 4g63 swap just because it's never been done and I have basically an extra car sitting around to pull parts off of, or I might just build up the 420a and turbo it. Either way, when that car is done I'm planning on selling it so I can finally finish my Talon that has been sitting for 2 years, half pulled apart.

Re: Introduction thread

I used to drive a 96gsx. It wasn't great, but it was fun.

I'm 22, I go to college in the North East, majoring in natural resources (specialization in planning and management), minoring in both economics and pre-law. School takes up most of my time. When it doesn't, I run, work out, and drink too much. I'm originally from CA, and I'll be going back when I go to law school.

I don't know a lot about cars. My dad taught me a little when I was younger and took me to the track. I have experience working on several different types of shitty cars. I'm the only person in my family to have ever owned a car that was fewer than ten years old.

Have a nice day.

Re: Introduction thread

I did this once already, who got rid of it?

Well, my name is Sean Loe I am an old bastard at 31. I live in AR, not far from Hope (no Clinton jokes please). I am computer tech/quality control at a saw mill. I was an Aegis computer tech. in the Navy for a while. I have been racing since I started driving, and modding/repairing since before then. I own a 96 gst, 05 VUE, 92 corrola, 84 chevy truck. I am in the process of building the gst for the track (just got done blueprinting, block to be O-ringed next) and doing all the work myself, I just don't have time to get to the shop so I don't know when it will be done .
