Well, I guess since everyone else is posting shots of their ugly mugs I might as well do it too.

No, I hate to break it to you but I am not Asian. My screen name is a close Chinese translation of my last name...

I just turned 39 last October, but I still feel and act like I'm 19. I have three sons (14,9,8 years old) and my wife claims that she still loves me despite "that damned car". I work way too much, as a supervisor for a (not to be named) meat processing facility. My people smoke and cook the meat that most of you eat every day.

Other vehicles; the wife runs a daycare so she gets a minivan, but at least its a supercharged minivan (no kidding). My other car is a 98 BMW 328i, which makes the drive to work almost as much fun as when I drive the 7 (well, almost).

My prior love was the Datsun Z cars. My last one was a '73 and I still miss it, but it rotted out underneath and died of cancer. When I finally got the money together to pick up another one, there weren't any available. Instead I found my 85GS in "basket case" condition and paid way too much for it. I've never regretted that decision though....

Anyway, here's a shot of me working the starting line at one of the autocrosses. Videos of my car in action can be found at http://www.youtube.com/Kentetsu1

No good pics of me online. This one is around the SE section. Good enough.



I am 20 years old, no church here. Long curly-ish brown hair, hence the Jeezus name.

Love driving and traveling, I will go to other states just for the hell of it. I want to know more and more about rotarys, and it usually makes me stay up late or late for work. I literally have teh whole FSM and tons of carb tuning guides printed out. Never hurts to have enough info.

Work as a cable dispatcher for comcast. It drives me insane just answering calls all day. I would rather be out installing the cable, but I need a truck to do so. I'll give you 3 guesses on what truck I am looking for, but you would probably only need one

i'll be honest, i like the stock look...a lot. But there's so much on that car that needs restoring that i might as well trick it out a little. I dont really have the time (or patience) to do a full restoration on it...but i'll definitely have to find another 1st gen and make a project out of it. Besides, that one's just a gs, if i restore one i want it to be a gsl-se.

but thanks for the compliment on my car anyhow.

Here's me and my crew (Wife, 1 daughter, 3 sons)



sevens:



My name is later, Bill (lol) I'm 40, have been married for 19 and a half years.
We go to a non denominational Christian chuch and are very active. We don't believe in "denominations" or "religion" because we feel that those are mans rules on how to worship God. We believe that the church is the people who go and that what matters is a personal relationship with Christ. I can't force my beliefs on others, only share what I believe. In the end everyone is responsible for their own decisions. I am either wrong or I am right in my beliefs. If I am wrong then the only one that loses out is me. If I am right, then those who don't believe lose out. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. simple as that.

I work on police cars for a living at the city motorpool. They wreck em, we fix em.

I have been working on cars since I rebuilt the engine in my mom's 65 impala at age 13. Have been in the Navy (painted airplanes for 8 years), been an over the road and regional truck driver, heavy duty wrecker driver, school bus pdi inspector and RV tech.

Thinking about moving back out west. don't know yet.

My FB is the only car I have sold and bought back.


Later,
Bill

Hello, the names Mike, I'm 23 and run a company that sells kitchen hardware as part of my mom's multi-residential kitchen business. I got an 83 LE that I've had since high school, a delorean that I am just getting into and an RX-8 that's my DD. I was going to get my dad's 89 T2 but after I got a series of speeding tickets within a week in my RX-8 that offer is taken away and he is keeping it in FL.
