Contacts! LOTS OF CONTACTS!!

"We have twenty-five hundred men. They'll be coming in force ... they're be twenty thousand coming down that road in the mornin'. We can hold this ridge for a couple hours, we can keep them away. We can block that road while the main body gets here ... we can deprive the enemy of the high ground!"

I reward all who comment on my profile lol, cause I have no other real friends!

Day of the Ranger

Saturday I will make a return to paintball combat. Two weeks ago, we had our first run of the season at home, and the outcome was so-so. I had one nice game of speedball <rolls eyes> where I took out most of the other team single-handedly, and managed to knock out the last guy with my last round :)

This weekend we head up to Hell, MI, to Hell's Survivor paintball park. Give them a little taste of the Great Black Swamp. Go Regulators :D.

Also, I should be getting a new computer here pretty soon. A friend of mine cut me a huge deal with nice parts, so after about $300 I should be sitting pretty for a long time with a nice machine.

The Killians Mustang is sweeeet. And yeah, hopefully the economy is better, but I'm not expecting much. I'm on Lake Michigan cost, though, so we have a good market for the stuff I like to do.

I've been trying to find another job for college since August.... I was promised fulltime at my current one-shift-a-week second job. Good luck with the interviews, I'd love to see some of the stuff you've done/do in the future =)

Haha that's cool. I've always been into cars, but haven't played much Forza at all... weird I know. It's probably because alot of my family has worked for GM. I mostly just watch my bro play. One of his friends plays Forza professionally for Chicago Chimera =] He won some crazy stuff. I wanna say he got 1st in something, but I don't remember. It's been awhile since I saw him.

I hope to paint skate/longboard decks and be a graphic designer next fall if the college ever replies to my app....

Yeah I tend to hear stuff like that alot. About how people wished they had kept their first/previous cars. Things just aren't the same these days. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know. My dad used to have a Cosworth Vega, and I know he wishes he had that. I don't plan on selling the MR2, but I definitely need to start making more money to keep it on the road... (3 shifts a week at 8/hr isn't helping)

It's awesome that you take care of your truck. Some poeple on tv last night were complaining that their car had over 100k miles on it, and I was like "......" It's amazing what an oil change will do... Not to mention, with the whole cash for clunkers thing hydrolocking/smashing all the trade-ins, cars have become disposable now. It's like people use them up with little/no maintenance and then go "omg what a peice of crap, time for a new one"

My bro has F3, but I haven't played it yet. I usually just end up having demolition derbys... It's been a little over a year since I played a racing game. I'm sure I'll get to try it after he's done. Either he or his friend are playing right now.

Well new parts are good. One of my past teachers rolled his wife's car into a lake during a break job. XD
I helped my bf do the breaks on a Taurus, too. I don't even know what the MR2 needs anymore... I wish I had the room/skill to rebuild it my self. It's cool that you do stuff like that.

Yes it is, I'd love to go for a ride in one. The base price really isn't that bad either, but the options sure add up. (The crazy black graphics are like an extra 1k.. not that they're necessary.) It's got so many functional things too, like downhill control and unused switches for lights or whatever.

Nice, the MR2 is 18, but it's been having a few problems. Started with "normal" wear of burning oil on start. My parents insisted I pay 1470$ to fix it. And now... 7000 miles after the rebuild, it's starting to knock because either the guy messed something up or something wore out fairly fast despite his inspection. So now it's been sitting there, and I am angry. One of my friends had a bad experience with deep water. It was a Jimmy though. Hydrolocked n whatnot...

The Raptor is basically their stock F150 offroad racing truck.
5.4L V8 and 0-60 in 8ish if I remember right, but they say the suspension and offroading is amazing.

Haha, yeah I saw that with the bench seat comment. He doens't have a truck (yet), but his dad just sold his F250 and got an 89ish F150 Lariat and a newer F350 (1998 I think) that used to be a rail truck.

What do you think about the new Raptor?

My bf is a Ford guy too, so I completely understand. (I don't really lean either way.) I'll have to show him that car. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know about it, and it looks sweet. I don't understand why that's not in the US. He's mostly into their trucks because he does alot of heavy equpiment/deisel mechanics, but he drives an Aspire (it was only 200$), lol. He hates it, but he loves how he can beat the shit out of it and it's still goin strong.

I kind of figured on the lack of speedball. I started in the woods, but it's rough playing in the winter. Our paint froze alot and then it's game over. I've always kind of wanted to go to the Tippmann castle. It seems like that would make for some great attack/defend scenarios. If I'm ever in the neighborhood, though, I'll have to get owned at some paintball, hehe.

Sadly I can't really blame FnF for that.. It's mostly just bad taste. I have no intentions of doing any of that ever.
I love so many cars I don't think I could list them, but I guess they're not the typical popular cars. A few favorites are 55 Bel Airs, 67 Eldorados (and 61), 67 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 59 Buick Invicta, and the Lotus Exige 260 gets all time favorite... and of course the Gt40 cuz it's damn sexy.

Same for the paintball and money; that's why I quit playing. I was more into speedball, though.

Ah, gotcha. I'm more partial to classic/muscle cars too, but I love my MR2.

The birds and paintball are downright awesome btw. =]
