Long time member...back again!
Holy crap! I just looked and I've been a member since 2005.
Anyway...I'm sitting in Afghanistan and heading back stateside next month. Figured I'd start posting as I'm planning on picking up a 13 Evo X GSR when I get back.
Previous toys have been a 500whp SRT-4, 375awhp Evo 9 MR, Honda Fit (3 pages in Modified Mag!), 315whp Mazdaspeed3, and a pimp little Kia Soul.
Been out of the tuning game for a few years so I've been poking around here since I've been deployed so I can get spun back up on things as I'll pick up the car and hopefully have a garage full of parts waiting for me at home!

Eh...I'm actually a contractor. Got out of the Navy about 12 years ago (ouch that hurts to say)!
And yeah...I'm definitely looking forward to getting home and tinkering with a new toy!

Argh! I'm only 34!!! I got out in 01 just after my 4 year enlistment. Been working as a government contractor since then.
I've missed my 9 and don't think I'll go too crazy with this one...Have around a $5K shopping list and that's it. Just something to have fun with on the way to pick up the kids!

Ha ha! Thanks! And yeah...The wife could have my head if I go too nuts. There's a certain number of toys I can get when I get home: The Evo and a Harley...Sold both, my car and my bike before I left so this will just even it up!
I'll be busy working on the Evo and chopping the bike!

Yeah...I just wanna do it and get it done! My kid is getting ready to drive so I don't want to have to dork with my car too much and help him with his. Plus, most of my tinkering nowadays is on bikes.
Here's an article I wrote for Hot Bike Magazine last year. Sold that scoot but ready for a new one.
