As if you couldn't tell thus far. I'm a car nut. I love them eat sleep and breath. I love helping fellow Third Gen'ers out. You got questions I probably have answers (I do almost all the work to and on my cars, includeing stereo's, boxes, neons, custom panels, mechanics, etc). love music, dragstrips (I don't really have to say not on Ricer night though right ..... ok just wanted to make sure.), R/C planes and cars. I play my Xbox occasionally (Live Account Name: DaSpudro), and love playing pool.
I've got to throw some love to my Third Gens, so i found a couple of Awsome Third Gen Videos.
Music
I listen to just about anything, some country (very little actually), Classical & Broadway such as Sarah Brightman and Bond. Popular, which in todays day includes, Pop, Rap, and R&B; but mostly I listen to European stuff. Mostly "Electronica" includeing Milk Inc., Sylver, and Delerium. Goth Metal such as Lacuna Coil and Evanescence (not quite the same as Lacuna Coil and not European but still catagorized the same). German Industrial such as Rammstein. And British and Australian Pop such as Kylie Minogue, Holly Valance, and Billie Piper.
My Favourite band is Breaking Benjamin. These Guys are awsome and I Litterally went to a 3-doors down concert because BB was the opening act. They have a new CD That just came out on August 8th and yes I DID have it that day. The Video is the first single from the new album.
Breaking Benjamin had been slated to perform at the Swamp in Ft Walton on March 20th 2007, was I there OHH HELL YEAH! Oh and did they rock house..... OH HELL YEAH THEY DID!!!
Movies
I love all sorts of movies. Don't really get into the chick flicks but I appreciate anything I find interesting. As you might have guessed I love movies about cars but sorry "Fast and the Furious" and it's sequal are not in my book. They trash all the cars that are worth a damn. As of right now I have to say my favorite movie is "Transformers". The special effects in this movie were awsome, add that to the fact though this movie was about a toy I used to spend endless hours playing with it was REALLY well done, and not just because one of the stars was a camaro. Speaking of that (Spoiler Alert) to all those that like me read the mustang "Barracade" beats the crap out of the camaro "Bumblebee" and Bumblebee dies, it doesn't happen.... in fact it works backwards, Bumblebee kicks the crap out of Barracade (though Barracade apparently doesn't die because he makes two more appearences, though they never explain what happens to him..... he's there and then they never cut back to show him again..... weird) just like any camaro would kick the crap out of a mustang any other day of the week. Oooooh and The Count of Monte' Cristo is one of my all time fav's I can watch that movie over and over.
Television
Don't Really get to watch much of this but I do watch "Trucks" on spike, "Hot Rod TV", and "MXC". Used to watch "Horsepower TV" until I saw them rice out a Honda civic..... ok fine maybe that was alright but until they started saying adding a stupid looking ground effects kit was going to increase horsepower ... get real it increases aero-dynamic drag ... which SLOWS YOU DOWN. Ok fine I might even be able to live with that but when I saw them install a new bumber on a astro van by usueing double sided sticky tape ... I vowed never to watch that show again. Ocassionally I'll watch "Stargate". I love ancient egypt ... fascinated by it. I'm a dedicated CSI JUNKIE. Can't get enough of it, and I also love Trippin the Rift. Football season's here (don't do college ball as much but I hate F-S-WHO? so i'll go for anyone that plays against them).... and incase your wondering I'm all about the RIGHT Bay, none of this tampa bay F&#K-a-neer stuff..... thats right cheese all the way GO PACK GO!
Books
Don't read many of these unless they are shop manuals for my cars. does Super Chevy and Camaro performers count? But I love classical Literature such as the Odessy.
Heroes
Hero's would include my Mom and my Dad. Sounds Sappy sure, but whatever, they have always been there for me and have never let me down. They stand for what they believe even if it means they get in trouble, and unlike many people in the world today, they have common sence, dignity, and accept responcibility for their actions.

I'm a 26 year old male, College graduate from UWF. I graduated with a degree in Mathematics, Minor in Quantitative Economics, and a Certificate of Biostatistics. I go by Rick to most people who've known me after high school, anyone before I graduated high school knows me as Richard. I love American or European cars ... sorry don't do rice-burners have respect for some selection of ricer-cars but not a lot of rice-cars make my list. I have two Camaro's (one an 85 IROC-Z and the other is a 91 Z28) and a 1980 Triumph Tr-7 Convertable.
Since I've FINALLY graduated college, I'd landed a job (after searching for sometime) working as a IT Tech and this is how I felt at times.
I recently was laid off due to the compnay being baught out and downsizing. I've found another job and am looking to get back on my feet. I feel I can learn alot and get a good start with this one so I intend to grab it by the horns and hang on.
I still want to buy a 91 or 92 Z28 convertable, and ooooh yes I AM looking. BUT I'm tring to decide if I want to hold out for my 09 SS...... maybe there a way to have my cake and eat it too.
As you Read through this I'm sure someone will pick up on the fact that I don't drive anything with less then 8 cylinder's, so the question may arise..."Your Triumph has a 4 cylinder, your such a hippacrate!".... well let me just state, true it has a 4 cylinder (but not for long), which is being planned for a transplate with a Corvette 400HP LS1. Triumph + 400HP LS1 + 6 Speed + 2200lbs = WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
A little background, I love cars. I can talk about them all day, night, week, whatever. So I tend to be a little over conversational when it comes to this subject. I love suspension, hate NASCAR (circle tracks blow). Drag Strips (I Attend GatorNationals every year), Formula 1, La Mans, GT Series, and Grand Prix, these are all awsome. I love cornering, I'm always working on a way to improve the lateral G's my car can handle, which brings me to my camaros.
The IROC-Z I'm more then likely going to build to be a respectable cruiser (who am I kidding it'll be a hot rod), while the 1991 Z28 is curently my toy. I've been working on finding a way to put my 1991 Z28 on a C5 or C6 corvette chassis. Gives me independent rear suspension, close to a 50/50 weight distribution, and about 95% of the power at the rear wheels. In short: Too many benifits to really list.
As some may know, and though it's blatantly obvious by my blogs and comments I recently got married on June 2nd 2007 to my baby. She is the most amazing woman I know. I love her so much that I couldn't imagine not being with her forever. I Love you Baby, I am yours Totally, Loyally, Honorably, and Unquestionably. Forever and beyond I am your man.
Well Thats it for now, if you want to chat or want to know anything else about me just send me a message.
What kind of muscle car are you? 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 You are a 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. You love your car....your friends love your car and thats whats most important to you! Your car really hauls ass! You feel bad that they aren't making Camaros anymore....but don't worry...cuz you know they'll be back! 2009 BABY!!!!
Who I'd like to meet: I like people with personalities similar to mine, people who love cars, sorry if you got less then 8 cylinders unless you own an European or American car with a respectable 6 cylinder don't waste my time about cars. I'm pretty blunt so I like people who tell it as it is and cut the BS. But generally try to talk to me if we get along we do ... if we don't ... I'll let you know.
