  1. I respect anything that a person has a deep, personal connection with, and makes them a better person in turn. (Keeping oneself sane totally counts!) That's how I was about roleplaying, and how I am about reading and writing. I'd be dead without them.

    Friday

    Today is Thursday. Wait, no, it's actually technically Friday. YAY I GET TO GO TO WORK TODAY. Oh, eff, wait a minute.
  3. Oh oh oh, I have another question! What would you do without Sonic?
  4. I would love to drive Xena through California again! I just need to get her put back together. (I should really finish my thread about that...)
  5. OKAY I WILL STAY JUST 'CAUSE YOU ASKED Japanese is fun to learn Challenging but fun! I suggest you try sometime, then we can yell at each other in Japanese. TONS O' FUN.
  6. I might not be "leading" in this one, but it gives a little better perspective I think
  7. The company I work for deals with Enterprise roadside... All I can say is, yes, Enterprise needs to examine the process by which it communicates with its customers. Absolutely.
  8. I really want to know how this happened. Dear Chris, If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go? If you could own only one car from tomorrow until the day you die, what would it be? HAVE YOU MISSED ME? Thanks, Sadie
  9. Well, the notalltheres have it made!

    Friday

    It's officially Sunday! I get to meet my buddy's twin babies today! TWIN SONS. TWO NEW BOYS TO GET OBSESSED WITH CARS. HECK YES.
  11. Indy I love the drive up to my family's cabin on Lake Huron in the upper peninsula. Gorgeous, peaceful, perfect. There are several fantastic back country roads past the farms just outside of town here in Stevens Point. I drove Xena up highway one in California three summers ago, which was a blast.
  12. Find out the number of Brewster Green 73 super duties? 40 are known to exist. That's my only guess. Welcome, nonetheless.
  13. Everything is looking amazing on this car. It sounds gnarly. I might need to borrow your brain when I start getting deep into my Fiero swap in a couple years
  14. Bahaha, thanks Now no one will ever know if it's me or Xena talking!
  15. "Hi there, fellow Pontiacs. My name is Xena. I've had some spare time on my hands lately because I'm a little broken, and I thought I would post some short stories about where I came from and how I got to where I am today. Once upon a time, I lived in the lot of LeMay Pontiac Buick GMC in Kenosha, WI. I was purchased by this nice guy who chose me over this beige colored Sunfire, probably because he's smart- red is obviously the superior color. He had me shipped to California right away on this big rig with a whole bunch of other cars. It turns out I was going to a young girl named Sadie, the daughter of the nice man who found me in the car lot. I have a manual transmission though, and she had never driven such a thing, so it took her a couple months to get comfortable driving me. Little did I know the adventures we would have together! Eventually, Sadie and I moved back to Wisconsin. We drove all the way across the country, which was a completely different sight from the lazy trailer ride I had the first time. Once we were comfortably back in Wisconsin, Sadie started getting involved with other car people, and I started making a whole bunch of friends. This was the first "car club meet" Sadie took me to. Little did I know how much this organization would change both our lives! This inspired her to start modifying me, which I was certainly okay with because I think she made me look pretty slick. Right after she added a new head unit, someone broke my passenger front window and stole some things out of me. I was really mad that I couldn't do anything to defend myself! Luckily nothing terrible happened as a result, and my window was replaced right away so Sadie wouldn't be super cold all winter. Here's how I looked after she added a short antenna, some 95-99 GT wheels, removed my ugly front plate, and lowered me with KYB AGX shocks and struts, and Eibach Sportline springs. All of these changes happened over the course of about 3 years. I love cruising around with her in the summer with my windows down, whipping down old country back roads. Ahhh, that's the life. We even took a road trip all the way out to California and back, and saw so many amazing things. Have any of you ever been near Morro Rock? Talk about feeling small! Sadie was even nice enough to keep me out of the winter weather for several years. She had a Sunbird hatchback at one point, and even borrowed her dad's Aztek for a winter in order to save me from that nasty salt stuff. It makes me feel funny. Last winter was the last time I had to see that nastiness. Ew. My body lines look like Sadie's old Sunbird hatchback! I'm getting pretty tired for now, so I guess my next entry will have to be about how I ended up here in this cold shop, hoping I don't fall on top of a Corvair and staring at the nose of the Aztek most of the time. At least the Can Am, Opel and Corvair have some good stories to tell! I do kind of feel bad that the Aztek has to keep going outside, but at least she was made for that sort of thing. Until next time! Xena"
  16. My boyfriend puts up with the car thing. That's enough, right? Begrudging acceptance?
  17. It doesn't HAVE to be yellow, no A gaudy color is preferable. But it has to be fast!
  18. Wow. This is awesome. You should compile a list when you're "done" (ha) of every car you have a part off of. I love the ingenuity people have when doing swaps and other projects.
  19. To be fair, depending on your credit and the length of the loan, that would still cost too much per month for the poor guy. I am a victim of crushing student loan debt right now so I sympathize with anyone that has a loan, and if they think about getting one for anything, I warn against it. Owing people money sucks. Let us know when you get the Fiero up and running again! The 2.8 might not have all the power in the world, but hey, at least it's not the 2.5 like I have. Slow isn't the proper descriptive term for it.
  20. Holy wow, I've never seen one of those as a sedan. It looks good! Welcome to FP!
