Mine was a '98 escort automatic. It was a love/hate relationship haha. So much fun to just thrash and it took all the punishment I could dish out. Untill I bought a '91 mx-6 turbo. Still wish I had that car. Now Im on to a honda civic and cant wait to actually be able to afford a fr-s/brz

My brother had an MX-6 that sat in his backyard for the longest time. It never ran, so I never drove it, but man I really liked how it looked...

The GSR was one sweet car!
I wish I could've gotten a GSR when they were fresh! Better yet an ITR! ITR still to this day is one of my favorites. My HPDE friend owned a minty CW 97 ITR, that was originally owned by Endyn (from theoldone.com) Was such a blast pulling through the turns with the LSD.

I later moved on to an S2000 and haven't gone FWD since. I can't wait for the 86

and Guffs sig The petty shit people whine about on this forum make it entertaining. I think its a reflection of the entitlement generation. Everyone wants it "exactly their way"

I still want to drive an S2k, haven't even sat in one yet...


And in regards to the sig, after all those threads about the Push Start, Zaku and I can't not make fun of them,

People call me a nerd/geek/loser but whatever. I made bank playing fking video games. LOL

Prize pools in recent tournaments are insanely high though. The DoTa world tournament had a MILLION DOLLARS yes a fking MILLION DOLLARS grand prize. Your team is comprised of 5 people so divide 1m by 5. $250k per person un-taxable.

Single Starcraft 2 tournament winner gets an easy $168k a month (since tournaments are held once a month).

Easy breakdown?

Dota Tourny:
1st place: 1Million
2nd place: 500k
3rd: 200k
4th: 100k
5th-8th: 18k

Starcraft 2 tournaments (talking specifically about the ones in Korea)
Monthly Tournaments
1st: 168k
2nd: 30k
3rd: 12k
4th-8th: 1k
Yearly Tournaments:
1st: 500k
2nd: ???
3rd: ???

Didn't really keep up with the prize pool since other tournaments were running around the same time.
the most i ever got from "pro gaming" was mouse mats from our sponsor :/ i guess the game want popular enough though :P not sure if anyone remembers Delta Force: Black Hawk Down?

Anyway i am:

Car History:


Sorry for the wide-load

seems since the yamaha for me - "once you've gone black..."

Not many of you will know this car!! Anybody guess what the coined name for it was?
BTW, this is still in my top 3 best handling cars ever when considering no modification from the factory.



PS, this is not my car. Mine was totally by my sister.............. "twice". The first time it was rebuilt, the second time she made it clear the my little baby was going to be driven again... Damn shame!
