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.










Tell me if these pics are broke, i'll rehost them somewhere.

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.
