First time I met Ron (1bad4dr): "Who's the scrawny dude with the car just like mine sitting over there like he's hot sh*t?" First time I met Hal: "I know, I know, I never photograph your 300!" First time I met Momo: "Wow, you're short." First time I met Stevo: "Somehow exactly what I pictured, a fellow ginger with a cooool girlfriend!" I know there are more, but I'm bored and a empty New Posts is bumming me out. So share some of your first impressions.
I made the top 4! lol Tam I will echo her statement. She was pretty much exactly as I pictured her to be. Redheads FTW. Ron/Maureen Sitting in a beach chair looking basically passed out sitting next to hals poor car lol...maureen i always picture walking behind Ron rolling her eyes for some reason LOL Jon (KingSavage) Crazy but pretty awesome haha Chris (legmaker) Cursing under the hood of his car but a pretty cool dude. Erik (hemi31) He comes off as being rough but he is as good of a dude as they come and will help anyone with anything if they needed it. Markus He is exactly as you would picture, and nothing like you would picture all at once lol Wade (CenTxHemi) Quiet but defiantly a cool guy. His crazy NY to Tx trip with Matt shows his dedication to the community. Hal Was unfortunately hovering over his car the one time i met him lol Cam Bent over hals car and running his booth when I met him. Maybe this year i'll find him during the friday parking lot gathering lol I can keep going but time prevents me lol...Tony, Scott, Adam, Ralph, Vinny....i can keep going lol
Ron hmmm... he's got some kind of military back ground. Maureen She's too nice she must have a dark side... Hal He's pretty cool and funny Markus (on the phone) yup he's nuts... typical Marine :grin:
Maureen Dang, do NOT mess with this lady Cam This guy must spend a lot of time on cars Erik (Hemi31) Just as I pictured him, big scary lookin' bear of a guy, but pretty awesome and happy to break away from his track time to chat with me about my car and laugh when I bitched about the guy from FRI laying a hand on my car. *grumble* Chris (LegMaker) He always looks like he's in a state of shock when I see him, like what's Ron gonna spring on him next?
Hahahaha, if I risk going into this post by going to SF its the end of the thread... Just met Chris (LMI), Kris (SRT8U), Sam and Mikey at Speedlogix but you folks did it for me! Fredrik:bigwink:
LOL Tam... Steve (StevoSRT)...It was obvious he was my good friend's older brother, spittin' image. Ron (1Gay4DR)...I didn't know God made that shade of blue eyes...and The Nose was much bigger than I thought Maureen (MrsSRT10)...Definitely a LOT more going on behind the quiet demeanor Darren (96GTS)...About exactly as I would have pictured Jeff (budoboy)...I saw his car in line when I went to have mine 'detailed.' As I casually waited around with 188 other people, I saw this 7'8" red-head and immediately dismissed him as the LAST person he would be... Cam...well, in the middle of 19 people asking him questions, but hands all beat to shit, cigarette making one of his eyes squint and eyes that just...don't...point...in the same direction or something when he's looking at you. Ralph (MOL)...A big man!...and ALWAYS smiling. Adam (1fastsdn)...He reminded me of someone who ALWAYS knew what was going on around him and said very little. Alex (BigAl470)...Now he is the guy who knows where the party is afterwards...stay close to him near the end of the night...lol Trojan...No doubt about him Lonnie (whitehemi)...waaay taller than I thought Steve (SgtStanko)...Younger looking than I thought and dressed up nice for a garage atmosphere Flex...lol, no doubts here either BT folks...I had seen pictures before so they stood out. Scott (1FST4DR)...Big fella...and I remember thinking there was no way the sunglasses dents in the side of his head were ever going to come out. JonW & TMagnum...Totally class acts Jonn (MagFX)...Now here was a guy you can't help but like instantly Mau (DVSSRT8)...He was the guy in the wifebeater that Ron was hanging all over...lol. Nice dude but I never saw his eyes because he always had sunglasses on. John (Fatchance)...shorter than I pictured but built like he does the telephone pole throwing contest every day of his life. He came and struck up a conversation with me before I had met anybody...totally a cool dude. [email protected] dude, and finds humor in everything! I've met a bunch of other people and I can't think of a single one that I didn't like!
Most have been met at SpringFest's. I've met quite a few on here, can't remember were I 1st met them all. My last memory may be my 1st now. Ron was during the caravan to the 1st SpringFest. He had his dad with him if I remember right. Maureen was probably SpringFest 2007. Ron definately married above his station, as I did. The 4 of us had a great time at Fontana, including something about opening doors. Tamara, I don't think it was me asking you why you don't take pictures of my car, was it? What about our cruise to Sonic in Yuba City? When was that? I was driving a 2.7 Charger rental and Cindy was with me. I gave you a hug and you cringed like, who is this. lol Dave was a mini M&G for dinner in San Jose. We sat in his car while he went over his Trinity or whatever it was. I remember nothing about it, but Dave definately knew how it worked and what it did. My AADD got me thru about the 1st 5 minutes. lol I'll add some more later.
I remember Nevin. I got up to go to the bathroom earlier, and Cindy made we go back to bed. That's why I said I'd add more later. lol
Oh yeah, my memory's been crap the past two years. I think I was more worried about what you thought of our merry band of car nuts, plus the fact it was my first time in the area and I was getting fed up with the guy trying to run the cruise. He's left the community since it seems. As for the hug thing, I've had to get used to more hugs since joining the car community but I think I don't cringe any more. So it wasn't you. I just have issues. :blush:
