Derek - HAULN-SS - 09-02-2009

I'm Derek. I don't do much of anything anymore because I seem to be working way too much. Stay at JMU as long as you can. I joined MM in 2004, and make it out to the occasional event, but not as many as I'd like. I have never been on a track that had curves before, but I am going to get there.
I've owned a lot of shit as well:
1969 C10 Chevy pickup
3 on a tree, no powersteering. Otherwise awesome. deemed unsafe by my mother
1995 Geo Metro
High MPG, inherited this from a cousin who used it at JMU
1987 Monte Carlo LS (miss this car actually). T-tops, black paint, drove like a dream.
1994 Chevy Blazer
Went anywhere, just got bored of not having a car to DD.
1986 Monte Carlo SS *
Hit a bear on 66 going 70 mph. This cracked the front cowling, and started me on process of restoring it completely, and building a motor to go in it. Will probably never sell this car.
1971 Monte Carlo SC *
Lies in wait at my parents house. I am going to do something really dumb with this, but I am not sure yet. Going to a mean 16 shootout drag race last year gave me real bad thoughts about putting a cage and some massive big block power in, which would be easy since the car is already stripped.
2006 Subaru Legacy GT
Meh - was fun while it lasted, but I started commuting 100 miles a day and this was going to be too much upkeep.
2008 Chev Malibu *
Doesnt get as good of gas mileage as I had hoped, but has done well for ~60k miles so far.
1997 Jeep Cherokee Country*
Nice to have 4wd again.

*= still in my possession

Forgot...I also recently entered the two wheel world..well, as far as sport bikes go. I've had dirtbikes since i was 4 or so, and had my license for about 5 years driving my parents harleys.
1999 GSXR 750..the cleanest example i could find after months of searching. Mods to come: white rims going back on. Other than that, I've put about 1300 miles on it and it's been awesome.
