I'm in the midst of attempting to rid myself of a probationary period on the forum.

I' started in 04 building 3kgt's (during the first large wave of FWDTT conversions) and then swapped platforms to the bmw world.

I built a few e36's (all budget cars) to prove to the forums it was possible to make good power without throwing 5k at an AA kit for the cars. *made 296 at 9psi on the M50* using all EBay parts.

I turned wrenches for 8 years *ASE Master - but i fear that doesnt mean anything except pay me more* and then finally after soul searching landed a beautiful GVR4 - move to NY from atlanta and here i sit.

I went nuts with the gvr4 - putting on tasteful mods, spending the coin to do it right. Yet alas, it's time for the mid life crisis and to strip the car back to stock and sell it along with all of it's other "barely run" components.

So Hi everyone.

Hello Mr. Jones, great screen name BTW, I'm just confused as to what you've got going on now and why you're here.

My mid life crisis consisted of having 3 dsms to fill my three car garage. It pleases me to know that I have all 3 variants of the 2g, and all costs related still don't add up to the price of a new DSM 20 years ago when I first fell in love.

My 24 year old GF, who's been brainwashed into the DSM world since she first got her license (by me of course) is a fan of the wrx and sti, but her finances make it an unrealistic goal at this point. She did not like my solution of waiting 20 years until they were the going price of a DSM now.

I'm working on getting into the classifieds and supporting the forum by helping some of the newcomers.

It's a neat and simple platform!
