Default My Official Intro

Why hello everybody I'm Eric. Formerly known as Boudreaux601, then A1C Basinger, then AB Basinger, then BACK to A1C Basinger, then SrA Basinger, and most recently, Eric the Ricer. I'm 21, currently in the USAF at Andrews AFB, MD. I live in Alexandria, VA, with a buddy of mine, and Corvette owner and previous member before an unrighteous perma ban - Valdeztke. Anyway, my first Corvette was a C4, 1990 Vert. Loved that thing to death. It was a POS, but a great car still. Since then I've got through a number of vehicles, I'll post pics haha.

Just recently picked up my C5, and loving it to death! On to pics

First Vette:

Then....


Then...










Sold it because people kept trying to steal it haha.

Bought my truck, and another bike, and an S13 project








Then sold the Bike, and the S13, and had only my truck. Then went to these two

Those pictures are in front of my parents new house, in the process of buying it now. Dad just retired from the Army after 30 years, and luckily found a job back up in this area

Vids of the Car. First one is with the Stainless works exhaust, you can hear the lope better, second is with the bullets




Finally, my Girl and I:

Nice collection of cars.. glad to see you back in a Vette.

Do you still have any motorcycles? I can't come to grips with selling mine. I still love taking them out for a spin and while the Vette is quick, it's pretty damn hard to beat a motorcycle.

Nope, all bikes are gone. In the area I live, winter time riding is pretty much ZERO. Also, people around here drive like azzholes, so I figured sell my bike, and pick up a Vette. You are right though, NOTHING compares to riding a bike

What was your AFSC? I've got some buddies at Tinker. One is a Ground Radio troop, 2E1. The other is a 2E2.
