An interesting concept

A thought came to me this last weekend, how many of us have actually met in person?

What I mean is, how many of us internet racer types have met each other on AF and other such websites and met in person?

I bring this up because this past Memorial day weekend a fellow AF'er Bulldog71ss traveled out from blazing hot Arizona, to sunny southern California to visit a friend. He sent me a PM a few weeks back saying that he might be out here in May. We kept in contact over the coming weeks and when he got out here we exchanged numbers (ladies I've got his digits, PM for details :naughty:) and we met up at his buddies place.

All I've got to say is that I've gained respect for that asshole. He's a down right chill guy to hang out with and ultimately talk cars with. Even if he is playing Nintendo Wii Golf with his buddy while smoking a Hookah. :lol:

A few other members throughout the years that I've met and have all been really cool to meet: 2000LS1Z28 (Bobby), DannoSS, Igor, Jay, FatNinja19 (who you folks may not remember) and personal friends that I knew before AF, TerminalVelocity (the other Matt) and DMC12 (Tom).

Others that I've met through phone calls like Carrrnuttt (Arcie), ac427cpe (Dan the Man), Josh (who likes to leave me drunken texts) and CivRacer (Christian).

Now I don't bring this up to toot my own horn or anything of that nature... but since I've met these guys and talked to or in some cases met off line I learned who they really are.


So, your mission should you choose to accept it. I challenge you kids this summer, to go out and try your best to meet any AF member you can. Let us know who they are... we only know who they are from what they type. Personality and mannerisms are hard to tell through poorly written postings on a website. Everybody lives by somebody... can't be that hard.


Of course this comes with it's risks... you might meet an asshole........ if that's the case then.... sorry. It happens.

I like this idea, good one!

Whoops, I posted this in the wrong forum... Moved!

Sounds interesting. I've met two (Elchicoloco and ---, who never posts anymore). I'd like to meet more, but that would be marginally difficult with my schedule. However, a very good friend of mine has a band playing the House of Blues in NOLA, so...anyone game?

Well, I've been friends with Carl (BeZerK2112) and Andrei (Neutrino) since before I dragged their asses here. I've met Chris (CivRacer) when he lived out here for a short time.

Over at the Turbo Dodge Forums I've met almost all of the other Utah members. Hell, we just had a BBQ a couple of weeks ago.

i havent exactly met anyone from here yet...

i'll most likely meet gotian, and mush man this summer, for my trip out to FL. i have no idea who else i may meet along the way this summa. could meet up with some chicago people and people around me, that arent too far. and if rice(er) comes to summerfest, thats also a big possiblity.

i could prob meet clawhammer and his s2k, if he desides to drive it here as he travels past me to his new job from what i understand.

otherwise, midwest, gimmie a PM.

I live in the same town as Freakray but have only pm'd him once or twice about subarus. I'm sure that being an admirer of rally racing would give us something to talk about (even if I don't own a scoobie... LOL). Most people on AF that I've come to know through conversations on here or through AIM... BLU CIVIC (Adrian), Hybrid1990CRX, LadyNredSi (Ami), TheSilentChamber, etc. have been really nice and have provided a few laughs (as well as arguments). I'm half way between Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC so anybody that wants to meet the turtle dude can pm me.

anytime any of you American dudes are in London, I'll buy you a drink...

I've met quite a few members myself. Back when I was in Utah, I had the joy of getting to know three of our fellow AF Moderators. Kris (Kris lol), Polygon (Clint), and Nuetrino (Andrei). It was a joy to meet each of them. To get to know them on a personal level was a great experience as well. All have a unique quality to each of them. I can't wait to go back to Utah and visit.

Now, when I travelled to Canadia, I put out the post to see who would snatch and offer to meet up. -Josh- was one of the fortunate few I was able to meet. It led to a night of drunkeness and premature passing out...but it was a fun visit the first time around. I also got to know JSwigz, Joshy's cousin. It was a fun visit, which ultimately led to me purchasing my Eclipse from Josh with a second visit. And thus, we had another drunken night that led to being surrounded by cops, getting lost a few blocks away from Josh's house, and having a blast.

And lastly, I've had the pleasure of speaking with Matty on the phone. Short conversations, but nevertheless, it was cool to speak to another member on the other side of the country.

Oddly enough, now that I think of it, each member I've met or talked to was an AF Moderator :lol:. I hope to meet more of you all in the future when I make a trip back to Utah later this year, if not next year. Then, possibly to Cali...for Matty of course.

Wii golf effing rules, man! So does the hookah. Finally meeting Matt was a cool experience and I'm looking forward to meeting up again when we come out next time (assuming Cali doesn't snap off to go hang out with Hawaii (and Alaska can come too...)).

Also, sorry about bailing out of town without giving you another call...my g/f took out my sim card which erased all of my sent and received numbers. :banghead: But it was good man, thanks for stopping by. And maybe next time we'll actually get out and go do something.

Just like Polygon said he and I have been good friends for a long time. I miss the days we hung out all the time. All the hell we raised...

I would like to meet some fellow AFers. I live in Rexburg Idaho and I doubt that anyone else does.

I'm staying in Madison, Wisconsin right now. I haven't met anyone, but I'd like to. I'm very busy though.

It's all golden grahams Aaron, I ended up getting busy helping my sister unpack at her new place so it's all good on my end. Glad you guys had a good time out here, maybe one of these days I'll get back out to AZ.

Next time you're out here I'll have to steal you guys away and take you out to the races where TV lives. It's a bit of a drive, but if it keeps up like it's been the last few times we've been out there it's a hoot!

Good meeting you and your lady, hit me up on myspace or something.

Hehehe, met another AFer today when dropping the Stealth off at the dealership for the 60k service. Jason (jason_bet) works there at the parts counter. He hangs out mostly in the 3000GT/Stealth section.

I asked him to keep an eye on my car for me. :iceslolan

I've only met one other AF member. and dated her for 14 months..

i'm going on a big roadtrip in '09, so i'm sure i'll meet plenty more AFers then.

Yes, just look for the "New Thread" button at the top left of the forum.

thank you so much and im sorry again for bugging you

anytime any of you American dudes are in London, I'll buy you a drink...

Damn...was there last summer.

I usually just meet with people on INK3S.org (Iowa Nebraska Kansas 3000GT/Stealth) but I would not mind meeting some Af peeps. I live in Omaha, Nebraska and am about 10 minutes away from the Iowa border.

I'm pretty sure there's a hefty load of us South Floridians on AF.

News to report! I'm headed down to utah this weekend to visit Polygon. I'll make sure to post some pictures.

Nice!

i've met a couple members from AF, 209SRT(ernie) and a couple of his buddies that used to be members on here, i dont know if they still are but his buddy jeff(drove a 95 m3) and john(first gen neon) i dont remember their handles but ya... i wanna set up a norcal or ALL of cali meet sometime this summer. i think that'd be sweet.

I've tried to meet up with Ernie before when I was up there visiting my grandparents but I always seem to miss him and he doesn't get back to me till it's too late.

Oh well... one of these times we'll get it right.

I will meet Chiquea this summer forsure.

he told me you were up here a few weeks ago, or maybe like months... i dont remember. in anycase ya you and terminal(if he's still down there) need to come up here this summer sometime and we'll get some kind of trouble goin

I was up there during Christmas when my Grandpa was in the hospital, I knew Ernie and the rest of you bastards were up there but I was a bit busy. When we knew my Grandpa was going to be fine, that's when I sent him a message but we just never got the time to meet.

I will meet Chiquea this summer forsure.

Jesus Christ, its phrases like these that start off movies like Hostel or Saw.

I'm not ashamed to say you won't be missed here when you two meet up, he drugs you, you pass out, and then he rapes you in the back of his corolla and drops you off in the middle of nowhere to die...

Nope, not ashamed to say I won't miss you. Not at all.

:biggrin:

But in all seriousness, SummerFest sounds pretty bitchin. Sounds like a reason to get totally wasted at the worlds biggest outdoor bar.

Sounds eerily familiar doesn't it?? :iceslolan

I'm still haunted from that night....

Well I got back from my trip to see Polygon last weekend. I said I would post some pics so here they are!

This is us just before i left. I hate leaving his house. Life there is so much more relaxed.

I went to the zoo with my wife and son when I was there. Spring was in the air.... Can you tell?


http://www.carl.hancock-hub.com/gallery/albums/2/DSC_0522.JPG
I dont need to say anything. This one explains itself.


http://www.carl.hancock-hub.com/gallery/albums/1/DSC_0555.JPG
And my sons favroit attraction at the zoo. A wall.

Polygon and i had a great time hanging out. We replaced the alternator in his stealth, but dirty hands make for poor pictures. Over all it was a great time.

:lol: hahaha nice post.

When I saw the pics of the rodents getting it on, I read the caption above it instead of the zoo caption. Lets just say I a combination of scared, excited, and repulsed all at the same time haha

^^^ Fixed that.

Ah...Clint still looks as tall, skinny, pale, sick, and starved as I remember. Utah really is a pretty nice place. I miss it so...:(

Yeah, I have a chronic disease, thanks for pointing it out, not that I'm touchy about it or anything. :icon16:

i've met poweredbyuncleben(the guy who posted in the racing section that he's been gone for a long time) and 97tsi another old member who doesnt post anymore..both really down to earth cool guys. and the first person i met was in a race wich was...cant remeber used to be a moderator in the integra forums and i met a couple other guys, they dont come on here anymore really, dont remember there names.

funny thing is...you guys will probably get to know me best over the net then in person, unless i'm drunk...i'm then the nicest fellow you could ever meet:icon16:

edit: it was KrNxRaCer00 old moderator...before i ever really posted on here i got in a race with him on the freeway....we gave eachother thumbs up and split...my girlfriend at the time then seen him post on here about a race that i told here about and she informed me and that folks is how i got to af :lol:
