I'm a professional musician and have done a majority of my musical work at various churches all throughout CA working as a Director of Music & Arts. I've also done a lot of work leading Jr. High and High School church groups. I took part in building 16 homes in Mississippi for the refugees of Hurricane Katrina.
I used to have 3 tanks - a 14, 34, and a 120. Because I quit my last job, I tried liquidating everything I could and now am left with only my 34. I used to have many cars, namely a 1960 Ford F-100 with a 351 cleveland in it and stricght pipes out the back (that thing was LOUD) and also had a 1979 International Scout II, lifted 8 inches with 35" swampers on it. That was my favorite. Now all I've got is my stock 06 Tundra DoubleCab... my wife drives an '04 4Runner. I've owned a 96 firebird, 05 Civic (lowered, 17's, cat-back exhaust) My wife drove a GTI mkV before we got pregnant. The last pic I posted is the car that I WILL own one day! (2010 Camaro)
I have been waiting forever for the damn Camaro. They were supposed to release some in October this year followed by a big release in the Spring of 09. Now I hear it is next fall. Chevrolet is irritating me. I wanted that car since I seen Transformers. My brother had Hodgkins Disease (cancer) when he was 17. We built a 69' Camaro from the ground up. It was built to race 1/4 mile. That is why I NEED this car!

Hi,
I am Mary, I am 38 years old. I have been married almost 20 years to my high school sweetheart. We have 2 kids, Jessica 19 and Douglas (aka Bubba) who is almost 13. We have 2 dogs, Max a cocker spaniel rescued and is very old and an 8 month old Australian Sheppard who is sometimes a terror. We are awaiting our first grandchild due in May. I am very excited to be a grandparent but could have waited a few more years. I was a young mom also. My mother lives with me also and is also into SW. She is originally from Verona, Italy. I am proud to be an Italian/American.
I worked as a Medical Assistant and an OB tech for 12 years but then had a bad ankle injury. I got my real estate license then the market fell apart, then had three ankle surgeries and now I started a company (now we are in a recession) that is located in Tampa with my father in law. I run the company from home in Port Saint Lucie (on the east coast 45 minutes north of West Palm Beach). We repair commercial pressure washers and manufacture chemicals.
I have three tanks, 12 gallon Aquapod, 29gallon FOWLR, and a 55 reef. My SW tanks keep me sane.

Just get a Year One new production '69 camaro... They sell the full bodies and all the accessories to go with it... why not get what you actually want and not some "futuristic" alteration... Besides, who wants all that extra weight of the new one anyway?

I LIKE the accessories that come with it. Like A/C (didn't have one on the original, he yanked it out to get more horsepower), bluetooth, MP3, and all the other futuristic stuff. I love gadgets!! Can't help myself.

[blaze98]

since everyone is sharing...My name is Elbert, everyone calls me L. I am 33 and married with a 4 year old son who started me on this endless money pit that I call a hobby...*curse you nemo*

I have had the pleasure to meet a few of the board members in person and they are some of the nicest people you could meet

 

[saltwatersubie]

Ok so I'm new and decided to join in on the fun.

My name is Katie, I work at an emergency animal hospital. I started my first saltwater tank a week ago (no joke) and so far it has been pleasant!! I was born and raised in SoCal, the only reason I live in SC is because my bf is in the Air Force and was sent here. My other passion/hobby is modding the sti.
