Aww guys, it's so nice to be back. You know what....I'm happy just to have the interest in playing with my cars again. However, coming back to the online communities that supported and aided all of the mods I've done to my cars; is one of the things I might've missed the most about building my ride believe it or not.

I've had some big changes in the last year. Opened up a new business, and a couple of stores. I lost my best friend (Bill Walters aka NO MERCY) when he disappeared. Started upping the ante on my MMA training.....crazy stuff.

So my apologies about leaving without mugh goodbye. I am back though!

Eric, how are things?

Paul (Talon), good to be back. Nice to see you brutha!

BT, I will be back with some hot chick pics as soon as Shane-nah get's suited up, or let's me snap someone else! Sounds like I'll more than likely be waiting for Shane-nah.

Cobra, was gonna....tried, but couldn't find the right buyer for the right amount. The only 2 people I was willing to let have her, both wouldn't make my asking price. I know they woulda taken care of her the way she should be. But fate is a beautiful thing...so here we are, taking another step together.

CSC5, sold them a long time ago. Loved the wheels, but it was time for a new look. How are ya brutha?

Trundrtkr, I am 110% flattered brutha. When I'm done with the new build, I will make you a better one though. I promise. Mahalo brutha!


Charlene, I am too busy trying to make money so I can stay on this rock. Forget about driving all day! Just kidding, I am ready to start cruising again.......I'll make sure to take pics. You make sure to drop me a line when you come here and I'll point you in all the right directions!

Glen! I almost made the exact same move you did. Wanted to live in CO with my best buddy. I am glad I stayed here, but I sure do love that place. How are things?

Thanks again to all for the love. Great to be back!

Thought about it, thinking about it....I could do something with that! I also considered a 1997 Viper GTS (Blue w/White stripes) and I had a 997 GT3 on order. I had to cancel that one due to unforseen circumstances.

Dave that is one fine vette! Cruz down town and have a few of those Portugese donuts (I forget the name).

Enjoy the MMA work. That is my goal this year - to get back into real training.

The details of why you went astray don't matter. It's just really great to see you back. Shame about Bill. Always nice to me both here and on the Island.
