Post your Job and what other cars you own/have owned
 

I think I've decided this is a forum to my liking. The people here are pretty cool, there isn't a bunch of n00bs because most can't take the intial beating and leave, (which i think is a GREAT way to keep the retards out) and most importantly, the wealth of information stored on this site is outstanding.

So basically I just want to know the people better here as I plan to stay for a while. I'll be starting a 1jz swap around this time next year and will track all my progress on this forum. So what else do you own or have owned and what do you do for money that you can talk about openly?

I'm USAF, job is Tactical Aviation Mechanic by title, Crew chief for short. I work on F-16, F-15, A-10, and soon, the F-35. I haven't had a chance to work on the F-22 but from what i gather it sucks. I've owned over 13 different cars in Japan alone, to include a 1995 Supra (NA-T), R33 Skyline that started life as an Auto RB20 and was sold as an AWD RB25 bored forged and GT35R'd (I didn't do the AWD conversion), 1998 RX-7, EVO IV, Twin turbo'd Legacy B4, 1991 MR2 gen 3 swapped, and several others. I "built" the Skyline on my own with some help from a neighbor in my building but for the most part was me. So share! I want to know about you people.

Currently own:
2005 Corolla XRS (2zzge 6 speed)
1998 Honda Ascot (G20 2.0 5 cylinder FTW)
2000 Toyota Chaser (1jzgte AUTO :()

Have owned:
2x 1991 Chevrolet Blazer (4wd 4.3L)
Lexus is200 (1gfe 2.0 6 cylinder ------- tiburon fail all over again)
Legacy B4 (Japanese version has Twin turbo EJ20)
1996 Camaro (V6)
1996 Evo IV (disgusting)
1998 Rx7 (apex seal destroyer)
1990 R32 (rb25 swap moderately fast)
1994 R33 (auto rb20 NA swap to awd 5 speed rb25 built with a GT35r)
1995 Supra (started as auto na ended as w58 NA-t)
1992 MR2 (gen 3 swapped ct20b etc.)
1995 Silvia (Na to sr20)
2001 Silvia (Na to sr20)
I think that's it.
So share! I want to know about you people.

Dont we already have a thread just like this?

Yes.

I searched the ---- out of this forum to find it because somebody mentioned it. I couldnt find it and I went back 9-10 pages.

EDIT - Found it, but there's more than likely been a lot of new members since it was created last year.

You will want to learn to search in the future. Badly.

Edit: feel free to revive old threads if you plan on adding to them.

Um, as I just edited, I DID search, but searched for within the last 6 months. No point in bringing a dead ass thread back to life especially since it's a year old. Besides, if I posted in there you guys would still bust my balls for reviving a dead thread. Either way you f---s are gonna jerk me around so its better this way anyway.

Owned:
64 Beetle with a 2165cc (when my mother saw it lift a wheel, she bought me a Jetta and let me keep the money from the Beetle)
1991 Jetta (shockingly reliable)

2000 Subaru Outback (awesome car, gave it to my father for MPG)

I've heard Jettas are reliable but I can't stand how they look.

No European car is reliable.

The prior thread was job and education. Got plenty of both, check out the other thread if interested.

Hey, djp, what's a Medical Physicist?

This thread adds the CAR element. So:

Current:
1966 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible (440 -- I've owned it for 29 years)
1981 Mercedes 380SL (makes wife look hot)
1990 Mazda Miata Turbo (DD on nice days)
2000 Ford Expedition 4x4 (horsemobile)
2009 Pontiac G8 GT (DD in inclement weather or when I need back seats)

Some Notables from the Past:
1970 Caddy Eldo (10:1 502 -- 400HP 550FT-LBS and FWD -- What a Hoot!)
1973 Caddy Eldo Convertible (wife really wanted it -- it looked like an RC car when she drove it -- she got lots of tickets with it -- not nearly as good as the 1970)

Looking at this list, I guess I'm mostly a V-8 guy.

I think that's all of them...I'm still in my 20s...

I'm pretty sure my mom would destroy you. She's ------- crazy and I'd appreciate NOT attacking a 2 year Iraq veteran that left with a purple heart. kthx

lol I know right. I'm at 10 and haven't even made it past the half way mark of my 20s.

Let's rename this thread to take everything serial thread. Where we take everything we read on the net as a personal attack. It will be fun.

Same. I'm only 21 and I'm at or around 14. I think there were some other ones I had as DDs for like a few weeks at a time. Like an auto Soarer and a Non - Evo Lancer GSR with a 4G93T.

Now now FRT lets not start attacking me. Why don't you just respect the fact that I don't like my mother being talked about like that? I almost lost her. You probably don't know what that's like. So I'd for real appreciate dropping that and leaving her alone.

:drama:

This is going to get good.

No not really. If it keeps up I'll just ignore it. Just wanted my opinion to be read and understood. If people can't respect that, fine. No need to get all butt hurt about it.

1. I did not attack you.
2. I will not respect that because you are on the internet.
3. Really? I was deployed to Afghanistan, and on the shitty end of a metric ass ton of ambushes. And we were light infantry dropped in the corner of random valleys where our mission was basically movement to contact. You know nothing.
4. Stop getting all butt hurt or you will never ever make it here. I'm not being an ass, I'm just telling you how it is. Do what you want. There will be more noobs next week.

I sling oil.

03 2wd 2.4 Tacoma -rally machine.
91 Miata -dude magnet.
98 CBR 600 F3 -it does teh pop a wheelies.
08 KTM 250 SX-F -if that counts as a vehicle..

Please read above your post. I dont care what you did. Good for you I'm glad to see another succesful return from Afghanistan. Stop getting so serious. I never got butt hurt.

I believe it does. I loved my KTM

OMG!! It's Norman from Psycho. This is wierd.

The butt hurt is strong in this one, young padawan.

Protip: This forum is full of sharks who can smell butthurt like a shark can smell blood in the water. You aren't convincing anyone.

Anybody else care to post occupation and vehicles?

Well that's fine. You guys can think what you want I really actually no ---- honestly couldn't give 3 flying rats asses in hail storm hurricane hybrid. Honestly. I'd rather just talk to people that want to post on topic.

Was ME student, took break BECAUSE BROKE AS$. Got started again in fine dining to keep me busy while I get military things done.

Cars:

Still have both. Most likely will never get rid of the miata.

Meh, why not.

IT Support Manager for a Fortune 500 company.

Daily drive a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis, also own a 2000 Mazda Protege, 1995 Miata with a blown motor, a 1958 Edsel Pacer 4 door, and old trusty 1994 ZX6 Ninja.

Previously:
1983 Nissan 300ZX
1990 Nissan 240SX
1991 Nissan 240SX
1988 Ford Ranger pickup
1990 Nissan 300ZX
2006 Mazdaspeed6
1995 325i
1986 Toyota 4runner

Favorite was tie between Mazdaspeed and 4runner. Most unique is my Edsel, and least favorite was the 90 300zx because of the work I put into it and short amount of time I owned it. Of course I bought the 83 300 from a "friend" after he wrecked my motorcycle and sold it about 8 months later when I needed some extra cash... Wish I kept that car. Longest ownership is the Edsel and the Ninja motorcycle. Honestly I'm getting tired of dicking with cars all the time and have reached a point in my life where I just want something reliable that drives me to work. Plus I'm house broke, now.

Curious what military stuff you're talking about.

I'm currently looking to join the armed forces. I scored very high on my testing and have my AA, as well as my unfinished ME degree. Right now I'm just shopping branches and checking out jobs, how the branches differ, Officer programs, etc...

Good - from a disabled vet to another - I still owned yer mom - if she's off limits, then yer dad - Air Assault bitch (bag me a bad guy ;))

Note - don't be so serious, this is MT after all... got any idea to why you're -8 in props?

I'm a little biased but if you want Job security and something you can use when you get out, go Air Force. They really take care of their people. I'm finishing my degree right now and afterwards will be applying for Commissioning. I can't stress enough how EASY the Air Force is and how REWARDING it can be for the simplest of things you do. I made a Product using Excel and Powerpoint using the very basics, and I received an award, coin, and put in for Nco of the year at undisclosed deployed base. Granted it was made for the General to look at in case ---- went south with our neighbors, the amount of effort I took to create that ---- was nil.

What branch? She's not disabled either, took shrapnel through the ankle and a piece to the lower neck. Another inch up or to the right and she'd have been a goner. Now she schools me in P90X. 23 years and just put on E8. (Active to Reservist)

With all due respect to your mother, you are in a place called The Internet. It is filled with people who have the emotional maturity of a retarded 10 year old child on crack. (insert criticism from parents of retarded 10 year olds here.) If you cannot read a joke involving "your mom" without taking it personally, then I suggest you move to Pennsylvania and join the Amish, as that's just about the only place where you will be safe from our witty onslaught.



I build stuff, and break other stuff.

I've owned a bunch of crappy cars which, when summed together, have a total number of cylinders which is a prime number.

DSMs carry one of my favorite engines :) (4g63) I use your companys Secure product EVERY DAMN DAY. (VOSIP)

I dont believe you. Even if I moved to PA and went Amish, you ----ers would find a way.

I hear the same thing from my sister, she's a Major in the USAF(medical). My brother is a Warrant Officer in the Army (pilot) and my father was a Lt. Colonel(rt) in the Army(pilot, badass). I have a lot of different opinions coming from different people in different branches during different times. It's a lot to take in, but I'm sifting through it.

Which one had the odd number of cylinders?

My bad - I misunderstood that YOU were the purple heart vet, not your mom.

Air Assault = 101st AB

Why do you assume it was only one?

No my mother was the vet. 101st means you spent a lot time at Fort Campbell right? Home of the 160th?

Lol, My mother is Army, told me I should just take the ASVAB to see what I'd get. When I scored great (92 overall) she said DONT JOIN THE ARMY.

Should have kept that. Getting more and more expensive by the day

Judging an entire service on one persons opinion/experience is possibly the most full on retard thing in this thread to date.

It became something I didn't want anymore.

My wife just sent this to me. It's my 95' Silvia that a buddy and I painted ourselves and swapped the sr20 into. I sold it last september because I was still clawing my way out of debt, and now it sits at Typhoon Motors, being parted out. I spent like a month swapping the engine and doing all the body work. Those aren't the rims I put on there btw.

Yep - 2 yrs too long. 159th Avn Reg, 8th Bat (I was no Night Stalker, bad-ass SOBs). Was a generator mech. We lost a guy in Somolia '93 - he decided to go for a swim and a shark took off his leg - honest truth, no sh!t.
