My name is Adam, and I've been into cars for as long as I can remember. Joined MM in 2003 as soon as I got to JMU, and became more involved in the club in my 4 years, there, eventually taking over webmaster duties my senior year. In highschool, my parents gave me a 1997 Taurus GL which I thrashed around for a few years. Surprisingly, I really liked the car - it had cold AC, drove really nice, except it was really, really, really slow. Because I was an idiot, I made sure to race every person on the road in it just to show them how slow it really was. The only race I ever won was against a mid 90's Pontiac Sunfire with a 3-speed auto - a glorious day it was.

After my first year of college, I bought a 1992 SHO which I still have today. I have spent way more time and money working on and tinkering with this car than I care to admit to, although it still makes me laugh every time I floor the gas.

After college I bought a new 2007 VW Rabbit thinking it would make a good DD, only to realize it was the least fuel efficient, most unreliable POS I have ever had the displeasure of owning.

Because 2 cars is never enough, I also picked up another SHO to use as a track car, only to realize SHOs don't make great track cars (although I still think it would have outlaped Mike's Civic around Summit)

Sold the Rabbit and Green SHO about the same time a year later and picked up the following rides:

After 6+ years of MM I am now much more into track events and driver improvement than big bass or flashy rims. Hope all you new members have as much fun as I did (and still do) with this club.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

I still have such a fond memory of a 33W drive following your SHO back (I think I had my old WRX at the time) and I was very impressed with how it handled the bends and it's torquey power especially coming up those hills.
