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

Why?
Senior year of Civil Engineering degree. That was fun.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404545.1.jpg)

Got a Job. BOOOOOO.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404546.2.jpg)

Rediscovered cycling.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404546.3.jpg)

Met a girl (<---evil, JK). Got Married 3 years later.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404547.4.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404547.5.jpg)

bought a house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
what a time suck those are.

Got a different/better job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Car went from this....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-219-1333404548.6.jpg)

to this... in 5 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-219-1333404549.7.jpg)

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.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-219-1333404550.8.jpg)

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.

Glad you're back. I see you were at Tahoe... At least a couple of us have moved to Reno/Tahoe while you were offline. Next time you come this way be sure and holler. Rob will buy you a beer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You've really mellowed, your injuries used to be lots more grotesque and disgusting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

To really be back you need to buy more project 914s...

Just saying.

Welcome back!

While you were gone people have become much less argumenative and dramatic about stuff that does not really matter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
