Hey guys and gals!
Long time no see!
Just dropping in to see if there are any familiar faces on the board (there are).
Hope everyone's doing well!
Since it's been SOOOOO long since I logged in or posted, here's an update on me:
1. Driving a Honda Element now... I'm not planning on modding it.
2. Still have the civic... sortof... it's parked at my old apartment, haven't driven it in over 2 years, and need to get it back, but long-story-short: I owe my old landlords a shit-ton of money before I can really get it back. I give myself a daily ass-kicking over that.
3. I'm getting married in July. My fiance (Shauna) is wonderful, and she has a 14 year-old daughter who's a great kid (for the most part LOL), so we'll be a happy family beginning on the 19th of July.
4. I quit my job as a graphic designer at a sign shop, and now work as a graphic/web/interface designer for a company that provides developmental disability services. The job kicks ass, pays WAY better than the sign-shop, and even if it's not a direct interaction with our clients (e.g. the developmentally disabled), it's nice to feel like I'm somehow supporting the efforts of a good cause.
5. In my spare time, I've been playing bass/singing in a cover band (www.audioburn.com (http://www.audioburn.com)), which is alot of fun. We usually play several times a month, although currently, we've got nothing scheduled. I'm also doing alot of digital SLR photography, running karaoke at a local dive, web design, bike riding, and just generally spending alot of time with my ladies. I also occasionally do some side-work for these guys: www.toadworksusa.com (http://www.toadworksusa.com). Any guitar players out there should check out their effects pedals.
That's about it. Like I said, hope you all are doing well, and Happy Holidays!

yeah, I'll get it back soon... just a headache... it's still munched up in the front, so it needs some work, but it's driveable. I don't feel the same way about my car as I used to... Probably won't work on it much anymore, just sort of lost interest in modding it, but who knows.
Congrats on the new girlie!
I see you're sportin' the Down To Ground logo for your avatar. Nice!

Good to hear your doing good Mike. I'm still around too. Finally got my hatch going again after 4 yrs of neglect.
I still need to head up to Ami's sometime, hoping for sometime next summer. Waiting for my racing schedule to get out.

i dunno how i missed this thread. it is awesome to hear you are doing great. i will also kick you in the ass over the civic, LoL.
too many changes to list. we need to have a phone chat. i don't if your number is still the same but i do know mine is!!!
you should most deffinately come vist! last summer we were gone racing. the summer before i was busy doing the car show thing. this summer we should make it a point to have a meet. it doesn't have to be 4g civic related for all of us to hang out.
i still get requests for those stickers. apparently i took too long getting more made so people started going to the sticker shop that has our logo on file and getting their own made. long live both designs!!!!

Stopping through again...
Yup, got married in July, great honeymoon, just livin' life now.
Still have yet to get my civic back, but looks like that's coming to a head now (long story), but if all goes well, I may have it back by the end of the month... needs alot of TLC, hasn't even been kicked over in almost 4 years, plus there's still damage from the fender bender that needs attending to.
May just end up selling it, who knows. Hopefully, when I get it back, I'll get bit by the "bug" again.
Hope you are all doing well, and maybe I'll be getting on here a little more often!
