My time has come guys. Got rid of the car. I got something with a LOT more power and similar handling. I have some left over stuff to get rid of. Front air dam, driver steering wheel airbag center, Hawk HPS pads, SS Clutch line, Stock springs and shocks, etc. Let me know if you need anything, we can work a deal. Sorry hadn't beeen very social. I have a new family and between that and work, it is real hard to find time.

Hi El Paso folks.

I don't live anywhere near there but I sorta grew up there (ages 12-17 anyway). Ever here of the dust ball rally? It's a 1500 mile rally that starts and ends in EP. I'm signed up as a co-driver for the 2010 DBR next summer.

TX New Home

Well, I have finally arrived to El Paso last night. was a nice 2 day travel from Georgia. Driving in the snow was interesting, good thing I lived in Montana and have delt with snow before, I seen a lot of vehicles having issues and running off the road. I look forward in meeting some new friends and learning about El Paso. Anyways just wanted to say hello and that I made it.

Well officially done in processing. As for my so call 2/43 ad well 11 BDE changed that to 5-52 instead. Tried going to Cav, but in a way of speaking was basicly told kiss fort blisses *** your going here lol. Was not impressed at all by our CSM. Have already learned he is not here for the soldiers, which is poor as for being a NCO. Was also amazed about how Fort Bliss treats its single soldiers with dependents. Anyways maybe ill see you around some day on post. So far I have not seen any other white 09 rx8 yet so assuming im the only one of that year/color.
