OT: Where I've been...(not that anyone should care), and why I'm back to the 914. Options

[Aaron Cox]

Long story short...dropped off 914scene 5 years ago.

Why?
Senior year of Civil Engineering degree. That was fun.

Now, why am I back???
Well, I missed a ton of the people I used to be good friends with. I Missed driving the car. I missed the bloody knuckles and swearing. And the money pit that is these cars called and asked why i havent fed it lately.

Also, another impetus to do less biking / more car stuff.

Dislocated shoulder #2 LOL. Surgery is oh so fun.

Ankles shouldnt do this. Ankle explosion #1, currently living with ankle splosion deux.


SO... to avert your eyes from such a grotesque ending I'll choose til fill the screen with some more text (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I still ride, just didnt need 7 bikes of my own, sold a few (down to 4), funded some Porsche 914 resurrection projects.

Still married - not sure why she likes me? lol.

Started working on the car a few weeks ago when a buddy came over and asked why I didnt drive it.... I didnt have a good answer.

Started an MBA, (MORE SCHOOL WHY???) and working full time means the car is a weekend fun machine, and a weekend time suck.

Long story short: I'm back. Good to be working on cars, and occupying a cell in this asylum again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

That is all. The end.
