Wow. I guess someone left the oven at 500 degrees again.
There's nothing wrong with Cole. He's no cop .... he's no ricer. He is just what he claimed to be--a college student from Chicago working in Delaware on a summer internship before he goes back to OU. He didn't have pics of his rides ready to upload because he thought it wouldn't impress anyone. Yes, he should have read our many rules of the oven and realized how seriously everyone takes it, but he didn't. Perhaps a few of our more esteemed members should glance back at those rules themselves, e.g.,
Welcome posts aren't chat rooms
Don't go offtopic in someone's welcome thread - this isn't an AOL chatroom. Keep discussion on point and civil. Noobs that break this rule are likely to get negative rep, making it harder to get on the board. Regular members that break this will get infractions.
Since he was at work when he realized how urgent it was to post pics, he came over to my garage on his lunch hour to take some snaps, but as luck would have it, his camera's powerpack was dead. So I took a couple of snaps of his DD for him to post before his intro thread goes to 20 pages of fail for no good reason.
He's just working his way through college, looking for some way to break into the car scene in central Ohio. Yeah, he'd like to practice drifting on a track. He had also looked into driving on Mid-Ohio's course, but was put off by the cost and hoped to find some people who would go as a group. He'd rather work on his own cars than pay someone, but wants to be around people he can learn from. He's just an average, easy-going car guy and not a champion keyboard gladiator like a few already in CR.
If it takes more than that to join CR, maybe it's too exclusive.

Good luck Cole. Pleasure to meet you. I hope they let you in.
