OK, I'll play...

I copied this from a recent post because I'm too lazy to post it all over again.

OK, here goes. My birthday is Feb. 20th. I'm a pisces, which explains a lot about me. I live in South Everett, just 10 miles north of Seattle, WA. I'm a bowtie girl to the fullest extent. A pre req for renting my rental apartment out is that you drive a chevy. I spend too much money and time in my yard. I don't have kids but my best friend and sister share theirs with me. I have a dog and a cat. I have freckles. I have brownish, reddish hair and blue eyes. I am not tall, unlike my sisters who are as tall as 6'1". I don't like meat. I drink too much coffee. I don't work out enough. I don't care for chocolate. I don't get PMS'y (lame *** cop out). I own a 3200 sq. ft., 3 story house that was built in 1920, residing on 1 acre. I love my house!

I drive an 82 Z28. Carbed, of course! With a TH350 and Posi, baby!! My car rocks and if given the ultimatum to choose between my car and a man, I'd take the car because an ultimatum like that is childish and does not reveal the underlying problem. I am very friendly, outgoing, outspoken, witty, frank, and to the point. I am a good judge of people. I am vindictive and don't take being taken advantage of lightly. My major in college was public speaking and journalism. I am currently unemployed but half assed looking for a job. I think Ken Griffey Jr. is the best damned thing baseball has ever been blessed with and I almost passed out when I met him one day at the boat launch, donning his ever soo tight wet suit. I think Alex Rodriguez is being paid way too much money and I'm glad he left the Mariners. The Sonics need to get their **** together. I am debt free. I love to fish. Mostly freshwater for largemouth bass. And fishing for salmon ain't half bad, either! Both of my tackle boxes are packed full of crap. I own 5 fishing rods. I have 6 sisters and one brother. I think George Strait is one sexy man and Tyson Beckford is a close second. You would only find Metallica albums in my Z28. I am not skinny. I am not above average looking. I've seen a UFO. I work on my own car. I own entirely too much jewerly for a woman of my age. Real jewelry, that is. Not costume. Same goes for clothes and shoes, ten times fold. I prefer to be barefoot. I have too many house plants. I sunbathe more than I should. I would never consider getting implants. Even if I were flat chested. I like to wakeboard. I am a good friend and protective of those that I have. I am fairly giving of myself. I used to be the birthday fairy. I don't like needles. But I do like my telescope for checking out cool things in the night sky. Purple is my favorite color. And, Martha Stewart stole most of her ideas from me. My mom says my legs are my best feature, but I've always been complimented on my mouth and Aaron likes my eyes the best. I think men should have short hair and women should have long hair. My fettish, if I had one or two are teeth and feet. I can never learn enough history. I own a pair of bright red cowboy boots. I had my first french kiss at 15 and lost my virginity at 16. I miss my Grandma terribly. I was a cheerleader and on the volleyball team in high school. Oh, and I was born in Huntington Beach, CA. Have lived in Austin, Texas, Swampscott, MA, Las Vegas, Nevada, Aloha, Oregon, Concord, CA, all over CA and western WA. I collect things like Ken Griffey Jr stuff, teacups, Z28 car parts, books about everything, Z28 hot wheels and models. Forget me nots are my favorite flower. I am patriotic and love spending time in DC with my Aunt who is a Colonel in the Army. I love old stuff cause they just don't make anything these days like they used to. I enjoy spending time with the Cascade Crew at the Pull Apart. I love wildlife and have many bird houses and squirrel feeders. I have a pond but don't want to put fish in it cause my cat would go fishing and I've made entirely too many trips to PAWS as it is. (update: we now have 19 goldfish trying to grow into Carp. But I hate crows/ravens and shoot at them with my wrist rocket. I am prone to panic attacks. My house is always clean, cause you never know who will drop by unannounced. I am a perfectionist, esp with my car. What's the use of doing something if you aren't gonna do it right?

Oh, and did I mention that I am married to the most wonderful man in the world? Definatley, not my type when I met him but his smile...I just knew he was the one. I've been blessed with his presence for over 12 years. He's the love of my life. He's made me what I am today. He's the strongest, most bravest man I've ever known and given the opportunity (and it's been given), I wouldn't trade him for the world. I had a high school sweet heart that I was engaged to and upon telling him I wanted to be a cop, we parted. Then came Curtis. A real man that supported my dreams. The man I will be with for the rest of my life. The man that has never given me the ultimatum, the car or him. He bought me my Z28 as a surprise. However, I still have not forgiven him for not buying me the GTA (with Recaro seats) 5 years ago! But, I must have done something right to deserve him. I am madly in love with the man of my dreams.

So...there you have it. A bit about me.

Well, you asked for it, Aaron.

The topic said tell about yourself, not your car.

And don't argue that they are one in the same.

F-body - 1991 Firebird Formula, 305 TPI, Auto, mods in sig...bought it in June 2000 after putting my old 1988 Firebird (V6) around a fire hydrant.
General **** about me - 5'9, 175 lbs, brown hair, blue eyes. I work my *** off 6 days a week at a bank, where I'm currently training to be a personal banking officer (equivalent to what most people call a loans officer) after spending my first 6 months there as a customer service rep. I like working on my car (at least the easy work), golfing and watchin wrasslin. I just broke up with a girl that i'd been going out with for 10 months (and we also had a 2 year stint before that). Hmm, what else is there....I like all sorts of music (right now I'm pumping the new D12 cd non stop). Umm, I go to Simon Fraser University where I just finished my second year, and I'm going for my degree in Economics. I think thats about it. Kinda oddly strung together, but it answers the question.

The topic may be, but Aaron didn't mention a whole lot about himself! And being he is the topic starter we all follow his lead, so :P

Demon Z28

Whats there really to say about me?

I'm 6', black hair brown eyes 250 pounds
I'm lazy like a sloth
I don't really do much even though I should (and will soon since I've plans n stuff now)

I like sunsets and a lot of other weird romantic things

I'm a goddamn looney tune drawn in a real life world ...

I put bra's on my head, have no problem walking into lingerie stores or adult stores and playing around with whatever I find and scaring the clerks...

I have no interest in any religion, be it good or evil, but I do find small advantages to each kind and choose to go my own way...

Death and things like that don't bother me
I do cry during certain movies

I think George Carlin is a friggin GOD ... 45 years in the comedy business and still going

I like the WWF, Undertaker is by far the best IMO, Kane comes in a close second for sheer size and muscle

I'm considering getting a job at a funeral home, it pays well and I've got no problem with it

If not I can always go to massage school and call it good

I get into weird moods, I wear weird shirts, I'll do whatever it takes for a laugh, and I've got a twisted sense of humor...

I find when Athena kills something it is a beautiful thing... living art more or less when she stalks her prey, snags it, breaks and crushes it and eventually swallows it ... the entire thing is just something that you don't often see, and I get to see it every 1 to 2 weeks ...

I play video games, I sit at the computer all day, I like making my brother miserable, I work on my camaro when I feel like it

My favorite foods are pizza, chicken cordon bleu, salmon, chikkin caesar salad and pepsi (pepsi is a food!)

My favorite drinks are Mudslides, Pepsi, Mikes Hard Lemonade, and Thomas Kemper root beer

I think beer tastes cruddy but I'll drink it if theres nothing else to drink

I don't drink milk, can't
I rarely drink water, just don't
I can't stand coke products too often

I have to have a VERY good reason to even get into a ford, but if you want me to drive one you'll have to cut my ***** off and shoot me 5 times (actually I'd prefer that over driving a ford)

I will never own a Honda, the only import car I really like is the RX5 (Mazda Cosmo)... nor do I care too much for the eurotrash cars, with the exception of 3 BMW's, one of which is the new Mini Cooper (Ok so I love the Mr. Bean cars so what)

I prefer British Comedy over American Comedy with the exception of George Carlin ... my fav brit. shows are Red Dwarf, British Men Behaving Badly, Black Adder, Mr. Bean, and plenty of others, but Red Dwarf is my absolute fav.

I listen to anytihng but the majority of rap, I'll make an exception to a few things but not many.

I hate country, there was only 1 good country song written and the person it had meaning for passed away so I don't listen to it any longer.

I enjoy listening to Classical, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is by far the best piece ever written

My favorite all time song on earth is and always will be What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, the song that comes in at a very close second is My Buddy by Dr. John

My parents are divorced, my brother is a dumbshyt, I wish I were still a virgin because the last few years of my life have been a complete mistake, minus the camaro and getting to know and love all of you guys...

I've seen weirder **** than most people can imagine and I've liked it, and I can imagine things even weirder than that...

The post I made called Beautiful Heart represents part of me, I've never been sent an email that can match that save one in february but if you read it and think about it you'll see why it makes so much sense.

I've been in a mental hospital, and while I was in there I made a kid **** blood for the entire week because of a pillow fight (makes you wonder doesn't it?) ... and I've often considered being put back in one just because it seems like a better option than putting up with my brother.

I've got scars on my arm, I'm more often pale than not, I can pluck hairs with a pair of tweezers and not blink or feel much of anything

I'm a good listener, I've been told I'm smart, I try to be the best friend I can be, I can talk about anything and everything, nothing you say, do or show me would disgust me and I find every type of human interaction fascinating, be it at a funeral, wedding, or whatever... its interesting to see how people act in different situations...

I'm always around to help people with anything they need... I enjoy talking to people and helping people with their problems...

I can get into some weird moods, I often miss having someone to talk to and spend time with, or snuggle with and hold...

Sex doesn't interest me too much right now, I'd rather spend my time with someone and get to know them... I hate fling things and hope to never do them again...

I used to sell gemstones on eBay, and I'll probably start doing that again soon because its fun and its decent money...

Right now I'm eating popcorn chicken and drinking root beer

People often question my screen names, and motives online... Demon is just what you think it is if you feel like thats what you want it to be...

Demon by any other description is as follows:
1
a : an evil spirit
b : a source or agent of evil, harm, distress, or ruin

2 usually daemon : an attendant power or spirit : GENIUS

3 usually daemon : a supernatural being of Greek mythology intermediate between gods and men

4 an evil spirit that lies on persons in their sleep; especially : one that has sexual intercourse with women while they are sleeping -- compare SUCCUBUS

5 : NIGHTMARE 2

6 : one that oppresses or burdens like a nightmare


Anyone who knows me knows on some level that I am fascinated by Dreams, Nightmares and Chaos... my first 3 tattoo's will probably be just that

I was engaged at the age 17, that relationship didn't work out and I'm more or less happy about that, I've never dated any person in this state save one, and she dumped me and turned out to be a lesbian (that was 3 years ago, Doug knows the one hehe) ...

When my uncle died it pretty much screwed me up... I started to sleep in class and cut myself or stab myself with whatever I found at the time (at one point I had used one of those bic round point pens and drew blood with it) ... that summer (98) I went to virginia for 2 months, came back and went to school, first month of my junior year, got sick of everything, being around people made my so physically sick I couldn't even stand up straight ... had a friend take me home at lunch and never looked back... (october that year I was put into fairfax, YAY ME!!)

I haven't talked to hardly anyone I knew in highschool since then.

I've gone to most of the states on the east coast, enjoyed myself each time but never really felt like it would be a place I wanted to live... not green enough.

I don't give up on much but that last couple of months I've actually given up on 3 or 4 things... thankfully one of them hasn't been my camaro

I have bad knees, a soft heart, a corrupted stomach (years of constant attack by pepsi) ... I rarely dream and when I do, its rarely what people would call a normal dream... and my nightmares are even worse...

I used to collect comics and cards, but I've sold them all.

I currently have 35 empty pop cans, 19 empty mikes hard lemonade bottles and 3 empty 2 liter root beer bottles sitting in a corner of my room because I've been too tired or too lazy to take them out of my room ... (will do that soon) ...

My favorite smell is Vanilla
My favorite color is Purple ::Eyes Summer ::
My favorite video game is Conker's Bad Fur Day
I hate playstation with a passion because Sony made the Final Fantasy series SUCK

I am and always will be into the original Role Playing games, whether its table top, online, or in a video agame (IE Dragon Warrior, Zelda, the original 6 final fantasies)

I never act like someone else, I'm always me no matter what I do, what you see is what you get.

for the most part I'm open with how I feel and only try to hide it when it will benefit others or if I don't wanna talk about it ...

I don't fear death, nor do I fear spiders, heights, snakes, wriggly squirmy slimy things or anything else... I accept things as they are and live with it or die with it, who am I to question it

I have no idea how long this is, but I'ma stop here ...

See why I didn't give that much info about me the first time!? HMM!?

I could go on...

87RS402

Damn Demon, I thouth the idea was to write a "little" about yourself.

Me? Ok, I'll go along with it...

I just turned 28 last wednesday, I'm married to a wonderful woman 5 years my senior. I have one child, age 9. I also have 4 (yes 4, call me crazy) parrots ages 18, 9, 4, and 3. I am a driver by profession, mostly semi's but the occasional tow truck. I smoke, I drink, and I don't get enough sleep or time off.

I was born on the central coast of California. Santa Maria to be exact. met my wife in march of 97 and moved here in december of that year.

Currently my wife (Celynda) is attending college as an accouting major. SHe has taught me several things in our time together. Among those things the three that stand out and everyone should know:

1, Never argue with a diabetic when they are having a high bloodsugar.
2, Never argue with an upset redhead.
3, NEVER, ever, marry a diabetic redhead. (don't ask me how I know.)

GTA Force-What color is your GTA?

PonchoTA

OK, well, where to start?

I'm 37, Scorpio(!) which says more about me than I could write, finishing up my last 50 days in the Navy, retiring after 20 blood-sucking years.

Currently divorcing my 2nd wife, luckily, we're splitting as friends, we just make lousy spouses ( Looking for a new place to live (must...have...garage...!) and another job, and finishing up my last year of school (BSEE!!) Yeah, I know, that's not nearly enough stress in my life!

I've owned 4 Trans-Ams and 1 Firebird (that still spanked every Camaro/Rust-stain it ran against! Gotta love a "cop chip"!!) I'm currently looking for a "car chick"!! Someone who enjoys cars as much as I do, I know, good freakin' luck!!

I have always had a passion for redheads (thanks to Teresa Arthur in 8th grade!) and even though both of my spouses are reds, I'll still probably end up with another (am I a glutton for punishment, or what??!!!)

I have a tendency to believe the best in someone, until they give me reason otherwise; I trust too much, love too much, work too much, study not enough, and am so-o-o-o tired of being poor.

My likes: My car(s) of course!! My Hot-Wheels collection, Amber Ales (hey, beer is food!), coffee (with fu-fu creames too!) ANY type of chocolate! holding hands, watching my Saturday car-shows jogging on the treadmill! Anything by Dream Theater, and I think that Rob Thomas and Danny Elfman are the most under-rated song writers of our day!

My dislikes: Prejudice, and stereo-typing in general. (With so many reasons to hate someone on an individual, customized basis, why hate a generality?!!) People who try to push my buttons, just because they can.

My pet peeves: people driving slow in the left lane, people in front of me, period! People who can't spell, and don't bother using anything resembling good grammar!! "Baby On Board" stickers. Overpriced items, just for a name-brand (except for Husky and Craftsman, I'll buy those any day!)

I read and try to learn SOMETHING everyday. My granddad (Pa-Pa, I miss you terribly!) said "when you stop learning stuff, you might as well go ahead and die, because you're not living! I also credit him with: "You only go around once in life, but if you do it right, once is all you need!" What a great man he was!! Well, still is, lives in my heart! (BTW, Demon, that post was awesome, I sent it to everyone I know!!)

Anybody know of a decent (very inexpensive, at least until I make better money!) place to live, so I can get out of the place I'm at now?
Anybody know where a senior elex tech/EE student can get a job?!!!
Anybody know a cute "car chick" that's available?

Oh, well, I guess I've bored you enough for now, I know there's alot I _haven't_ put in there, but maybe if you ask nicely, I'll add to it later!!

GTA-Force

Blue502

My turn I guess,

My name is Lance and I am a caraholic. I have an alter-ego that sometimes posts on this board under the name Hugger3.

I have 2 thirdgen Camaros, my blue '86 Camaro sport coupe that many of you have seen, and my orange '88 IROC that none of you have seen, since I just bought it.

I am currently in the process of a multi-year engine swap into my '86. Awhile back I purchased a big block 502 (early style 440 horse) and that is what is going in. If I can ever get the money together to buy a T-56 tranny, the swap won't take long to finish. Like Qwktrip, the exhaust is one of my biggest quandries, and I'm still not sure what I am going to do. I am building this as a driver/showcar, not a drag car. I have purchased and plated many billet parts for under the hood, as well as almost everything else needed to complete the swap. When you look under my hood almost everything will be either blue or chrome.

However, it is hard to get the money together for the tranny when I keep spending it other directions. As I stated above I just purchased an '88 IROC which is going to be my new daily driver. Don't plan on dumping a whole lot of money into it, but I am making it quite decent. Paint and interior work are the main things. I also just put a new 200-4R overdrive tranny into my current daily driver '67 Olds 442.

Here is a list of my cars, starting with the oldest (This list doesn't include my company trucks or cars):

1959 Chevy Viking
1963 Chevy Nova 400
1967 Oldsmobile 442
1968 Hurst/Olds
1970 Camaro
1986 Camaro
1988 IROC-Z

As to me, well I am the owner/partner of a construction company. I am in my mid-thirties, single, and recently available again. I am currently trying to purchase 300 acres up near Mt. Hood, but don't know where that is going to go yet. I enjoy my cars (obviously) and going to car shows with friends, flying private aircraft, skydiving, Elk hunting, hiking, and other outdoor recreations. I do my families genealogy as one of my hobbies, and have traced almost all of my lines into the 1600's or earlier. Family is everything. I spend huge amounts of time with my nephews and niece, since I don't have any children of my own unfortunately (I had one son who died). Some of you have met my nephew Skyler, whom I take to car shows with me. He just turned 6 the other day. I collect 1:18 scale diecast cars (with nearly 300, I am running out of wall space in my garage) as well as all scales of Muscle Machines plus any other diecast that catches my fancy, old books (especially history books, its amazing how differently people used to view the world) from the 1800s and earlier, and stereoview slides (kind of like viewmaster, but from the 1800's). I read hard science fiction when I get the chance.

I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Arizona in Tucson, so YES I do think I'm a rocket scientist! I am on several NASA advisory committees, mainly dealing with policy decisions regarding future missions to Mars. I am also a charter member of the Mars Society, and an active advocate of human colonization of the red planet. Being a part of the space program was always what I wanted to do (that and flying), but my timing was off. I was supposed to work at KSC on Shuttle fueling systems starting in the summer of '86, but unfortunately there was the Challenger disaster (which I watched live from JPL). Then with the economy the way it was, and the defense industry laying off thousands of engineers, I decided to move back to Oregon and go into partnership with my father in his business. Sometimes I regret my decisions, as I'm not where I wanted to be in my life, but then again things could be a lot worse. I enjoy working for myself, and living in the NW.

My music tastes run the gambit from classical to current rock. Not much for country, even though my car was in the Brooks & Dunn video. My brother listens to country, so I've learned to tolerate it, and some of it is even pretty good, but you won't find a country station on my presets. I don't like rap either, especiall gangsta rap. I used to play in a rock band back in my college days in Arizona, and have been thinking about starting playing again.

I like Long Island iced teas.

As to the future... who knows? I've been seriously considering purchasing a fully restored '65 GTO convertible, and will probably pick up another thirdgen or two within the next year due to the current low prices (most likely a teal convertible and a blue 5.7 IROC if I can find them). I've also been looking at 34 Fords, especially 3 window coupes. I really want to pick up some property so that I can put up a large pole building to finish my projects and store my cars. I really would like to settle down and have a family, but have yet to find the right person, and have been wondering lately if I ever will.

My Car(s):
1989 Firebird Formula 350, white hardtop. It's in Reader's Rides
1987 Firebird V6, red t-tops, GTA seats, it's going to be for sale soon.

Previous vehicles:
1956 ****** Utility Wagon. Damn, I wish I never sold that car, but I had to pay for school. I put so much time and effort into it. It was almost on the road when I had to sell it. I sold it to a guy who just got out of jail in Ontario, and was starting a new life out West. He was a really nice guy.

1986 Honda Civic 4-door. It was my sister's old car but she needed to upgrade, so I got the hand-me-downs. It was a great car, I learned to drive stick on it. Eventually the floor rusted out so I sold it and got my red Bird.

About me:
I'm 21 years old, born and raised in Coquitlam, BC. My birthday is March 6, 1980, a Pisces. I'm an Electrical Engineering student at UBC, so I spend half my time living in residence/basement suites during the school year, and at my parents place for the rest.

I'm living the typical university student life, working my butt off in the summer to pay for school in the fall. Work hard and party hard during the school year. The Engineers at UBC keep the breweries quite busy I'm sure. Eventually I'll have enough saved to take a backpacking trip to Europe. I've been to France once with my junior high, and I would love to go back on my own.

I spent a lot of my life on or around the ocean, since my parents have a cabin on Nelson Island, on the Sunshine Coast near Sechelt. I like sailing, fishing, wakeboarding, all that stuff. My dad and I built a 14ft boat with a 9.9 horse on the back called 'Tuesday'. My dad has a boat called 'Ramboat', it's a 1969 Landing Craft: Vehicle/Personnel. We've spent a lot of time fixing it up, it looks really good now. My neighbour and I built a cabin for it. Think 'Saving Private Ryan' if you want to know what it looks like.

I am a computer nerd. I run Linux at home all the time and have converted several friends to the cause. I volunteer for Linux installfests/community events, etc. It's a really great operating system and it suits me perfectly. My specialty is the Gimp (www.gimp.org), a graphics program. I'm the author of 'Gimp Essential Reference', published by New Riders. I work as a programmer right now but I want to get into hardware eventually. Working at GM doing control systems/ECMs would be a dream job.

I listen to all kinds of music (well, except for country. ugh). My top 5 favourite bands would be (in no particular order) Metallica, Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Sabbath, and Radiohead. I like techno/house stuff like DJ Mark Farina, Orbital, Underworld. I like old school rap like NWA. I love hard rock stuff like Anthrax, Rage, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Deftones, etc.

I'm the last male to carry the Harford name for as far back as we can trace, so there is a lot of pressure to reproduce. I have a girlfriend (a redhead ) that I have been with for the past 4 years. My family plays a big part in my life, I have two 3 year old nephews (twins) that I love. One has cerebral palsy, the other one has attitude enough for the both of them. We build elaborate train sets that go all over the living room. I can tell you more than you ever want to know about Thomas the Tank Engine.

My two favourite TV shows right now are Junkyard Wars and Family Guy. Try and find the 'Sexual Harassment' episode of Family Guy, I have never laughed so hard in my life. Stuie (sp?) is the best.

My name is Seth Burton. I am 17, I live in Medford Oregon. I own a 1982 Camaro Berlinetta, and a couple things **** me off about it.
1. People think that all lower end or earlier third gens are crappy.
2. People who own early third gens and lower end camaros who do nothing to change these people's opinions (GFX, washing it, fixing things when they break).
I am heterosexual (i like women), and i have 2 ***** right next to each other inside of a handy carrying pouch. I will be in my senior year of high school this year and turn 18 in december. my other car is a toyota corolla, a 3speed 85 horsepower beast.

Blue502

Yeah, and my favorite episode of Twilight Zone is To Serve Mankind. Think about it

matlock

Holy **** Demon, some of that was more than I needed to know. I now know you better than most of friends. Btw, DWIII is by far the best RPG of all time.

My name is Dave. Hi guys! I'm 20, capricorn. Male. Uhm.. 6'1 170lbs (I've got a weight advantage over you guys! muahaha). Red hair, brown eyes. Can bench press my own weight (lol how many can say that).

My dad got me into cars, which thank God he set me on the right path with GM. When he was my age he had a 68 427 Roadster Vette and a 68 Camaro. He also had an 87 t-top Cutlass which he heavily modified. He beat every mudstain and most vettes with it. Right now he owns a 300hp 93 Cadillac STS.

I work at a dead end job right now that doesnt pay enough, but I'm going to BCIT in September for Computer Systems Technology so thats why I decided to get a gas guzzling 5.7L f-body . Since I have to pay my own way through school, people might not think that was wise but I want it all dammit!

I used to be hardcore into video games, and was a pro Quake 2 player at one time I've been into programming in the past, but I'm not a hax0r like AlexJH.

I listen to Rock 101, which satisfies my classic rock tastes of zeppelin, sabbath, doors, and others. I'm going to see Pantera on the 26th. They're one of my favorite bands which I've been totally into since 96. I also like Faith No More, Alice In Chains, and some mellower stuff. Has to be real rock though with soulful guitar solos and the like. Metallica sucks *** .

Well well here we goooo.......

Basic stuff: I'm a 19 year old guy, I currently reside in one of the most boring towns ever Mt. Vernon.. ~6'1" 160 lbs (:: stands up and takes a bow as the skinny bastard of the Cascade Crew :: that is untill Doug posts is weight )

Car(s): 1989 Firebird which looks like will soon belong to Crista.. and a 1988 Trans Am GTA which is my future sleeper that will be powered by a 400+n HP 400 t-56 etc...

More stuff and uhhh stuff... I still have a an outline of my sunglasses tanned onto my face which is slowly fading. I work 2 jobs right now, 1 with my dad durring the week and another at a Casino being paid to drive other peoples cars (valet ) I hate honda's and ford's with a passion.. I used to like Mudstains and stuff but have since my younger days realized that real style and power lies in the camp of the General. I will always own a 'Bird and plan to have the GTA a long long long time and pair up either a 30th aniversarry Trans Am or a Black LS1 WS6 Trans Am... I have expensive tastes when it comes to toys - all the wonderfull GM products I love so much, Pro Tournament Ski boats, etc.... Its a good think I'm goin into a field where there is lots of money to be maid (computers hehehe)

I would be the kind of guy who lives in a dinky *** little house with the GTA in the driveway and then open the garage to find a new WS6 or Vette and a nice Ski boat and then the small house makes sense.

The Cascade Crew is what keeps me sane living with my ford obsessed anti GM agrivating little borther. Like Aaron says I wouldn't trade you guys for the world, everone I have had the pleasure of meeting in person I have enjoyed the company of very much and look foreward to future meetings and talking to ya'll online. The only music you'll find in my cd collection is Rock, Alice Cooper to Ozzy to AC DC to Metallica all the good stuff.. Newer rock sucks royally though if you ask me... Judas Priest new singer sucks, Ozzy is no longer worth seeing live (I saw part of Ozzfest and say no way... The Live and Loud album sucks and had every song totally butchered save a few - nothing beats the Tribute Album which is live with Randy Rhoads) Alice cooper is definitely worth seeing live and I really want to - The PPV we taped was just too cool. The radio in the GTA is set to 99.9 (play all my favorite rock and classic rock) and doesn't change unless I'm in Eastern washington.

Dude Lance is a pilot!! Cool!! Gonna take me flying sometime?

I hope to have it running by next summer. This will be put to the wheels by a T-5 I'm planning on having looked at and reinforced if possible. Uhhhh.. what else.... I've been a member of the crew since it's inception and was at the first gathering along with Lance and Doug and a few others (Back when the crew was on Thirdgen exclusively) uhh.. I work at an electronics contract manufacturer called silicon forest electronics. I make a crappy 9 bucks an hour.

Oh yeah My Neon was broken into last night and the ****ed up my door, broke a little piece of glass that costs 468 bucks to fix and stole my stereo and sunglasses. That's about it.

Alright! We'll have to set up a crew meeting out here. Nothing like hundreds of 3rd gen's swarming the streets of our peaceful little town.

Roxy7701

my turn! my name's kara. i don't own a car at the present moment...well...i do...*shamefull look* it's an 82 brown honda accord complete with rust spots. *sigh* i told you guys i know nothing about cars! i bought it from a friend because i felt bad. but anyways! i'm trying to get rid of it and buy my other friends white nova! woo-hoo! i can tell you all are beyond jealous. don't worry...it's not the same friend and i know this car.

besides that, i'm usually a student out at SWOCC/ the university of empire. i'm 19 and am going to be 20 in november. i'm kinda interested in being a teacher or marring a rich doctor

i'm a scorpio and i enjoy partaking in
clogging and fine needle work. when i'm feeling especially energetic i like to wrap my sister up in toilet paper and see how many dresses i can get in one roll.

seriously though...i like art..music, drawing, poetry...all that sensitve junk. my favorite passtimes include making trouble *evil grin*, shopping, swimming, riding elevators up and down for a long period of time, astrology and astronomy ( i got a thing for stars).

i could go on more...but it said just tell a "bit" about youself. so there ya go! hope this made your day. it made mine

------------------
*~ Kara ~*
(too cute for you ^_~ )

Roshambo

Oh, I see how it is. This made your day and seeing me today was just.. Bleh huh?

Lets see, I guess since Ive been around in the CC since the Vancouver Gathering. Im on my 2nd 3rdgen. My first was a 1982 Z28, good first car, and it helped with getting me more interested in 3rdgens. I bought my 1988 T/A the 1st of March. Its fully loaded complete with all power options, including leather and digital dash.

I live on the Oregon coast about 80 miles from the california border, and where I sit now, Im 1 mile from the pacific. The "town" I live in actually has a population of about 25 or so, but, it has no zip code, so Im listed as a Langlois resident. Check your Oregon maps for "Denmark" and thats where I live.

I thought I wanted to become an auto technician, specializing in either engines or chasis. But, the more I think about it, the happier I would be as a photographer, so, Im going to hopefully be taking Photography and Journalism classes this fall. My most recent pics can be seen @ <a href="https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/Forum2/HTML/002860.html">https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/Forum2/HTML/002860.html</a> or <a href="http://www.cascadecrew.org/pictures/Roshambo">http://www.cascadecrew.org/pictures/Roshambo</a> Well, my train of thought has left me.. thats what talking to Aaron does to you.

Hayadoin? What's up everybody?

My name's Jason (Jay). I've been popping up here and there on these boards for about a year or so. I like guitars and fast cars, fast cars with guitars, and fast guitars in my cars. I've been with my usually lovely girlfriend for six years and my usually lovely (yeah, in my dreams) Z28 for about a year and a half, minus the last four months.

Which brings me to the car part of my reply.

WHAT I'VE DONE TO MY CAR: Well, I've kicked it a couple times, that's for damn sure. I own an 85 Z (its one of those o so rare yellow(ish) ones) with the LG4 305. I just got my car back 2 days ago after I blew the head gaskets, cracked a head and collapsed the rings in 3 of the cylinders four months ago. My uncle, stepdad and myself swapped in another 305 last weekend (WOW!! what a task!) and I am stoked to finally have it back so I can spend all my time and $$$ working on it again. Now if I could just pass emissions...

Sure wish I had a 350 IROC to play with. Oh' that's right, I'm poor. Nevermind. Not forever, though. Only a couple more years. I work for a small delivery service you might have heard of... big brown vans, a bunch of goons in brown unis. UPS. They pay exactly d**k to start off but the drivers can make bank. Just takes time and patience.

Anyway, if you're in the Tacoma/Snakewood area keep an eye out for me pushin' my beeotch (the car, I mean) down the street. If ya see me, be sure to at least honk and wave as you roll by!

Peace out ~J~

85 T/A WS6

Sounds like a plan REZ, there is nothing that would be more cool than to have my front lawn filled with the crew's rides.



I might as well chip in and say a few words....
I have lived here almost 3 years, Im a mouse jock who designs attachments for heavy equipment on a NT CAD station. I work at Weldco Beales:
http://www.weldco-beales.com
I also do light IS work for the small group of CAD users at work, Administrators rule
I bought my first PC 10 years ago and like to tinker with them. That PC was a 486SLC 25,
I have built them for myself since. I like beta testing software, I have Windows XP Profesional on my wife's PC and It rocks. We are networked and share my cable connect through ICS. Windows XP will be the next OS from MS. Im also beta testing Autodesk Inventor 5, another CAD program.

I have toured Microsoft and seen the inside of the beast, something that would not have happened if I still lived in CA. I enjoy online gaming and have won some cool stuff playing games I enjoy, one being Microsoft Fighter Ace. I like combat sims like Counter Strike and Combat Flight Simulator. ( I flew a Cessna 152 after high school, got a student pilots cert)

I met my wife in a locked psych ward and we have been married for 15 years. (we were staff not residents !)
We have a 13yr old daughter and 11 year old son. I will help coach my sons football team this year. My wife is assistant coach for the local swim team where my daughter is probably the best swimmer on the team She gets it from the old man who has swam competitively from age 5 till I turned 18.

The Trans Am is my pride and Joy, most who have seen it say its the cleanest 3rd gen they have ever seen (I always tell them they havent seen the rest of the crew's rides)
It is a low miler and I intend to keep it that way. I will start to show it soon in the stock class maybe, Im allowed 3 mods max.
More than the usual Trans Am, this one has most of the top options including the new TPI motor and the rare of the rarest Recaro seats.

Although a fan of ponchos from way back,
I came to this group a newbie and have met some great people who have helped me in many ways.

I like all kinds of music. Anything from country to some of the new stuff. about the only things i've got down are some scales and the intro to smoke on the water. Your going to have to come down to the gathering at joe's and I'll bring my bass (don't laugh it's an Ibanez) maybe you can teach me something interesting.

The last two weeks I've been slouching along on a borrowed 28.8 modem. I love my DSL. the rest of you guys (and girls) don't know what your missing.
