<![CDATA[howdy.]]>Been trolling the forums long enough, maybe I should introduce myself some.

I don't think I know anybody on here - though I've met a few of you, actually. I was born and raised in Fargo, moved away, came back.. could be a lifer. we'll see.

Vehicles - currently have a '92 Integra, sans timing belt, haven't checked the extent of the damage yet but I was going 70 when it snapped; 89 mazda b2200 with an electrical problem I haven't tracked down yet (drives great, but all my lights seem to be grounded together - signals, brakes, reverse, corners, tails, and no good explanation); '80 honda cx500 in the middle of a facelift when this all happened.

The past - doesn't matter, it's in the past..
'90 grand prix sedan, engine destroyed BY MICE, replaced, totalled by suburban.
'89 grand prix coupe, money pit, spent $8500 in under two years, sold for $400.
'85 honda accord, best car I ever owned, hands down. 86 furious ponies.
'69 buick lesabre, got about $200 worth of the $600 I paid - before it stopped moving.
I feel like I'm missing something.. '84 accord parts car, drove 1/2 mile, parked it.

Current plans - maybe fix & sell the integra, maybe just fix & drive it. If possible. Don't really have the funds right now. I want to lift the truck back up to stock height, maybe rake it a little, but the wiring thing is keeping me from driving it legally. Finally bought some leaf springs for the rear. The bike is probably going into storage soon, but I want to put the stock headlight & turn signals back on it first.. had a huge mismatched fairing when I bought it. More wiring fun. At the moment I'm relying on my own two feet to get from point A to point B. No camera for pictures, sorry. I'm lo-fi. heh.

Have most of the parts for the timing belt change, was going to get it done the weekend it snapped. eh.. karma for hating 98% of the population, I guess.

and I live in an apartment, one parking spot, no garage.. so right now it's "Redneck back parking lot at work yo." heh.

Redneck front yard yo.

Heads go for like $50 for them..
