Hi everyone!, I like long walks on the beach, camp fires, the outdoors, cars... Am I doing this right?... Anyways, my name is Mike, I live in Grove City and I have owned my 95 Camaro Z28 for 14 years. I havent done any major work to it yet, just some minor bolt-ons with a gutted cat, cat back exhaust and 4.10 gear. About to get some top end work done soon (with long tube headers) and try not to be the slow one. I have been to 2 meets with some of you and look forward to attending more. Heres some pics of my car... http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k607/Arcanenec/mycar6.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k607/Arcanenec/mycar7.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k607/Arcanenec/mycar9.jpg

Hey guys, I recently picked up an 08 mazdaspeed 3. Thought id jump on here and see if I couldn't find some other ms3 guys. I'm in Westerville and hope to see some of you at a meet around town

The NEO guys have probably all been to A&A (right near Nelson Ledges), but yesterday was my first visit. I went in not knowing what to expect, and that place is awesome. Totally beat to shit (seems to be a theme in Garrettsville...), but awesome. My uncle is a big hunting and fishing enthusiast. Always has been. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I was forwarded an email from one of his neighbors (i've met these people at least 50 times throughout my childhood, but probably haven't seen them in 10-15 years) saying that they had reserved the "sporting" range at A&A. I'd say it's about 100 yards, but the fact that it was 20+ guys who all knew half the people there, and the range patrol basically left us alone all day made it a fun time. Counting my cousin (recently "retired" for medical reasons), there were at least 3 police officers with us. I think that probably helped our cause as far as being left alone. So i rolled in around 11:00, and there was already a healthy array of stuffed animals, bowling pins, an LCD computer monitor, cans, toys, dishes, bin-laden pictures, Justin Beiber posters, etc. scattered about the range. I added 2 rows of CD's screwed to some scrap lumber, and my original helmet from when I started riding in 2005. I started off just trying to not suck with my 22. Then my friend Ray handed me his 30-06. The largest caliber weapon I had previously fired was a .45 pistol (also Ray's). I took aim at the helmet, and put a large hole in it. The .22 wasn't doing much to the CD collection, so my cousin handed me a 20 gauge. Having never fired a shotgun before, I was expecting a lot of kick, but compared to the 30-06, it was pretty tame. My uncle insisted that I shoot some clays with his over/under 12 gauge. I hit my first few clays, then went into a slump before getting comfortable with it again. This went on for a while, and the bottom line is that I definitely want a shotgun as my next firearm purchase. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was shooting Ray's AR-15. I've always thought of showing up to the range with an AR as sort of like showing up to a beginner trackday with an 1198R, and a full pit-crew... Having shot it though, it is pretty much awesome, and I see why people like them so much. Minimal recoil, surprisingly accurate, and fucking fun as hell to shoot. Ray had a lot of .223 ammo that was starting to get old enough that he wasn't shy about getting rid of it But one of the highlights of my day was shooting my Grandfather's (now my uncle's) Ruger single-six. Fun little gun. Easy to shoot, and really accurate for a handgun. The history made it way cooler for me than the actual shooting, but there's something retro-cool about having to cock a single-action revolver that I kind of like too. So what did I learn? - a lot about shooting - even a cheap MC helmet will stand up to a buckshot. The wearer definitely wouldn't be happy about getting hit, but it doesn't penetrate the shell. - a 30-06 will do DAMAGE to a 1,400 page Constitutional Law textbook. - a .22lr will stop on page 852 pics to follow:

Not asking for a "roast" here but it would be flattering . Thanks for helping with the pics too.

Bet she makes you wear protection.

EVERY girl wants a three-way.

If you don't wanna keep her around for a while you can give her the Houdini. 1. Convince girl your going to do her from behind up against a window. 2. Hold her hair in a way so that she can't see you and is looking out the window. 3. Tell her you going to piihb. 4. Switch out with your friend that's been hiding somewhere nearby. 5. Your friend then grabs her hair and piihb. 6. You sneak off and grab a camera, make sure the flash is on. 7. Go outside, step in front of said window and take as many pics as you can. The faces she make will be classic, confusion, fear, anger and hate.

I told her i was going to do the Illeagl lane change. At first she was like no no no, now i think like 6-7 beers deep its going down!....Eh I mean In!

my first gift idea was a watch. Then i remembered there was a clock on both the microwave and stove so she doesnt need one.

wha wha what? It's Your Birthday! Well Happy B-day

HBD you drunken monkey! When you gonna tell us about your weekend?

congrats on the baby!
