    Default the new guy and a new car

    Hi, my name is Michael and i'm from Allen. I got a '96 with a limited slip, and 90k miles a few days ago and the plan is to keep it a daily driver and run NASA's HPDE and Time Trials. In the back is my '70 Impala Pro-Touring project, and in the garage is my '86 Pontiac Trans Am American Iorn wanna be.

    Welcome to the madness, Michael. You'll find plenty of other gearheads around these parts.

    Sorry to hear, that good thing you dont need all your fingers to drive a car once it heals. On another note, you need to be introduced to evilspeeder. Oh and welcome!

    Welcome aboard...and the finger thing sucks. Bummer.

    Yeah, don't take these guys too seriously. Often times I get online just to get a comedy fix...As you will find out, they are all seriously, seriously nuts.

    Man - that's pretty awful! (it wasn't the middle finger, was it? You really need that to drive in Dallas traffic...)
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!'
