Soooo.........

How many people that still know me are actually still on this board? Is it all noobs? (said with fondness of course :0) )

Sorry I haven't been around; World of Warcraft claimed me something fierce. lol I finally got together the will power to divvy up my spare time, hence my revisiting of some of my old haunts...

How's everyone been doing?

(Yes I know it's OT but most of the people I knew were in the CLK forum ;0))

Just graduated from USC after a looooong time taking part time classes. Other than that just the same old stuff: auditioning, working on music, voice-overs, etc.

How did you get away? I have a 60 NE Hunter and am leveling up a Tauren Druid (31 atm) and don't know how to stop lol.

I saw you a couple of times, once in my Hooptee as well, also on the 60 I think.

LOL Well even when I do make it big I'll never get rid of my 208 and I'll never ditch you guys ;0)

Yeah my girl is a little annoyed, but she's a nerd like me so she enjoys watching me play from time to time.

Yeah I need to drive my benz more. Went through a dead battery issue just last week lol and when I jump started it/drove it, the battery ended up overcharging and blowing out the relay for my central locking. Ah well, I replaced the batt and now just need to figure out which relay is the locking one :0(


Again nice to hear from you guys, I won't be a stranger....

Did your problems stem from the fact that you switched out your stock battery for an Optima Battery?
Alternator issue?

Kinda stopped doing car shows as I realized I wouldn't place in many without mods that I'm not a fan of (TV's everywhere or 500 pounds of bondo and fiberglass/widebody).

Also stopped attending Hot Import anything after I seeing that the team that usually won most of the awards would also throw parties for the judges and had many of their own members running the show. I didn't really feel like paying out my registration money to help hook up their cars...

I think I'll just keep it to friendly meets from now on. :0)

Yeah, the car makes 345 rwhp up from 216 running stock software. I have a few more things in the works but that's where it's at now.

No what actually happened is that the CD changer was jammed and while trying to un-jam itself, drained the battery. I then drove the car around immediately after a jump start (I was unaware at the time that you're NEVER supposed to do this) and ended up overcharging the battery and boiling the electrolytes rendering the battery FUBAR. Before this I never had a problem using an Optima.

Yeah I know the whole lame guild story. Well if you ever want to roll on Altar of Storms let me know. I'm in a Horde guild there called "Nub Down" and you're more than welcome to join. Or if you want to play alli, my NE hunter is on Frostmourne.
