now that is some cool **** right there. yeah i did a project for autotech where i had to do something that involved cars and the war in iraq. so i did how to make an anti-saddam Camaro. i made it have 2 gatlin guns on top and an offroad suspension. i thought it was pretty sweet, thinking about a rocket launcher, but didnt have enough time to do research. i wish i could have built the car, but alas no money and couldnt drive around a camaro with gatlin guns on top. but i thought it would be cool to go out and shoot up iraquis at 100+ mph on the ground in a camaro.

eh im wierd, but hey i was bored and it got me an A.

Help the soldiers

ATTENTION THIRDGEN COMMUNITY
This is a call for your support for those soldiers serving in Iraq.
I'm asking for those who can, to send a care package to Iraq.
I will reward the first 5-7 package senders with an Iraqi license plate or Iraqi money with Saddam on it.
I will be the POC. Soldiers are in need of some comfort items that are not currently accessible.
Looking for:
Car Magazines (new & old)
cookies
shaving cream
kool-aid (with sugar added)
pens
envolopes
soap
AA batteries
and anything that you think will make our life better
Please no animals, drugs, or ****.
Please spread the word.
You will have to fill out a Customs form at the Post Office.
THANK YOU

Rich,
I sent off a small one today with a few magazines (no ****.. seeing as that'd be MY @$$ too), a few envelopes, and some writing utencils.. I will muster more by weeks end, I'm sure I can get the rest of the DEP guys to pitch in for a *real* care package, if not they'll feel it next time we run

Hello
Well things are heating up here in Iraq. I'm attaching a photo of someone I met.
Can you figure out who he is?
He once said:
"There are two things that come from Texas......................."

Maybe it's just late here, but

I can swear I saw him get plugged with a rifle round in the movie FMJ...after delivering some of the best one-liners in movie history...

Where in the heck did you meet HIM?

Take care out there. We're praying for you every day here at home.

Peace,

I wish I had caught this thread earlier. I will try to get a package out asap with some things in it. I spent some time in Bosnia myself a few years ago. I know how it is to be in the middle of no where, the little things can be very hard to get. I'll try to get in touch with my ROTC instructor to see what I can organize with them, but there may be no one around with it being summer time. I'll get krackin on some things to send with or without them.

Did you get R Lee Ermey's autograph man? He has become a military icon and even has his own show now. Get Some. Keep up the good work.

I can understand no one being around for the summer bit. There were 32 people in the DEP with me in May, and more than half have shipped now.. I'm just sitting here waiting for Aug 5 to roll around. I'll try to get another package together to send to you guys, hopefully something a little bigger than I could muster last time. Don't worry about sending me anything back, ya'll being there is enough, just send me some stuff if I ever end up at the pointy end of the stick. HOOAH.

Iraqi Baseball

Hello Everyone
Still here, no return date. I cry at night thinking about my cars (almost ). I know that my wife starts them up, checks valve lash, clutch play and ignition timing. Right honey?
I would like to hear from the members about what I'm missing this summer at the car scene.
I have attached some photos of a little baseball fun, and they said war was all bad.
Enjoy

Hello fellow TX thirdgenner! How are things over there? Have you guys actually found any WMD ? Are the Iraqi's still acting up? Are you's guys coming home anytime in the near future? Cool pics by the way! It's seems like you guys are still in good spirits.

We have car shows every Saturday night here in the Houston area. You'll have to make one of them when you get back to the US. Good luck and *** Bless!

be careful

In light of the news in recent days I just want to say, please be careful and take care so you can get back to the states and go cruising on Saturday night in your thirdgen. I travel a lot myself on business in some nasty places (not as bad as where you are at for sure) and I know I appreciate what I have here so much when I get back, jump in the firebird, open the windows, jam the accelerator and hear that great sound and feel the rush of adrenaline. Makes it all worthwhile.

*** bless

Hello everyone,
Still here in Iraq and it seems that I will be stuck in this lovely country til April. Attacks on convoys are a daily problem, we lost some trucks to mines and RPG. No casualties.

NEWS FLASH:
Third Gen Firebird Trans-Am spotted in Iraq:
While on a convoy I saw my first Thirdgen car, it was on the side of the road. A white 86-87 Firebird, Trans-Am. It had Iraqi plates.
I did not get a chance to stop for a closer look. Now you know that there are Thirgens in Iraq.

Please feel free to send packages, rumor has it that the postal system will send packages free to soldiers in Iraq.

I have attached another pictures>

" WARNING REPUBLICAN TANK UNITS"
" UNATTENDED T-72 TANKS WILL BE TOWED AT OWNERS EXPENSE"

Rich,
I got the package, thanks. I'm sorry I couldn't get more over to you guys. I tried, but it seems I enlisted with a bunch of spineless turds. G0d willing their DI will straighten that out real quick and fast like, or they'll catch a speed-lace to the rear, either way sorry I couldn't generate more goods for you guys over there. Benning becomes my home on tuesday, I doubt I finish training or have access to a computer before you get ready to ship back to the US, so in the meantime, good luck, stay safe, and watch your six.

88IrocArmy, I've got a package with some things here to send out monday, but do you have any specific requests? Anything anyone needs or is running short? Keep your head down over there.

Ragin'87, have fun at Benning. If you think dealing with the guys in DEP is a pain wait until you get to Benning. What's your MOS? I was an 11M.
