			<description><![CDATA[What's up, my name is Tomas, I'm from Richmond VA and I'm in the college of business. I drive a 2015 Mustang 5.0 and ride a 2016 r6. The r6 only has cosmetic mods and a slip on. The mustang has a CAI, 2018 manifold swap, mbrp catback, dyne tuned, and the rest is all cosmetic. I'm hoping to get LTH soon and maybe run E85 to see how close I can get to 500whp.<br />

hey guys my name is mason and i’m a freshman looking into a business marketing major currently at jmu. my home town is around Philly so don’t know that many people around here yet. love anything about cars, literally anything. big mitsubishi guy but also appreciate the whole of jdm and euro, not so much domestic. i’m not so much mechanically inclined with these cars but I would really be interested in learning how to build these cars and stuff with some buddies or myself. I have a 1999 mitsubishi eclipse gsx currently which me and my pops bought as a roller for a project car. had it for two years now and it’s nearing being done but progress has slowed down lol. looking for a new daily currently as I just sold mine so hoping I can get into some type of tuner car so I can work on it and hang with you guys. I hope to see you guys soon and excited for what’s to come for MM.<br />

A dream car of mine is an R32 that could push 1000+. I am not an expert by any means but I love being around cars and I love the smell of gas. I want to learn the ins and outs of the cars that interest me. I would love to track the teggy, but would also love to build another car for racing. On the xbox I mainly drift on Forza Horizon 4 with some Modern Warfare mixed in there. <br />

I worked at Blue ridge powersports in Harrisonburg as a tech until I broke my back in several places on my cbr600rr (graffiti edition) leaving me paralyzed waist down but I have been in rehab since and regained most function! Like I said I’ve always been into cars and bikes I helped build my brothers 93 foxbody with a 67mm turbo putting 600 to the ground and built up my old Jeep from stock form before parting with it for something a little more practical. My only other ride is my vintage mini bike at the moment.<br />
Thanks for the add,<br />

<br />
My name is Ethan Dillon and I am a freshman this year at JMU. I'm originally from Laguna Hills, CA and have lived in Northern VA for the past 10 years or so. I drive a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited on 35s at the moment and love to take it off-road. My previous projects have included a 2010 Genesis Coupe 6MT show car build with multiple sponsors and a 2015 WRX 6MT tuned on Ethanol peaking around 350whp/348wtq.<br />
<br />
Could not be more excited to be apart of MM and I look forward to getting to know all of the members and alumni!<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
My name's Robert Lazar, and I'm a new MM member. I'm a freshman and INTA major from Haymarket, VA. I don't actually have a car at the moment, but I've been saving to buy one for the past two-ish years. Not sure what I'll eventually buy, but it'll probably be something from the 80s or 90s; I've daydreamt about everything from an XJ Cherokee to a C4 Corvette.<br />
<br />
Although I don't own a car myself, here's my dad's 2016 Chevy Colorado that I've driven since I got my permit. Until I got here I probably used it more than he did:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi current and past MM!<br />
<br />
My name is Chase and I am a rising senior at JMU! Wow... time flies <img src="https://forum.mmsports.org/images/smilies/sad.png" alt="Sad" title="Sad" class="smilie smilie_8" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, I am a marketing major with a concentration in European business and a minor in entrepreneurship. I have owned an auto detailing business since I was 12 (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/detailinginva/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.facebook.com/detailinginva/</a>) and now own an online mastermind group for mobile car detailers (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/mobiledetailersmastermind/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.facebook.com/groups/mobilede...astermind/</a>). Have since taken a more managerial role in my detailing business since I no longer am in Williamsburg very much. <br />
<br />
In Harrisonburg I am interning with a commercial real estate firm and really enjoying that. Strongly considering RE in some capacity as a career path.<br />
<br />
Currently, I am in Columbia, Maryland interning for Fiat Chrysler's Mid-Atlantic business center in sales, marketing, &amp; business operations. Any current / past Maryland MMers I would love to meet up!<br />
<br />
my first car: 1991 Miata, bought stock<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone, my name is Amanda Garbim. I'm not a new MM member but I currently started to get more involved in the club. I'm sophomore and my major is International Affairs. My older brother is a member too and I'm here because of him. Basically, he is the reason why I'm interested in cars but my true love is motorcycles. I have two motorcycles, one Kawasaki Ninja 300cc and a Honda CRF 230cc, which I made as a motard. Unfortunately, it's been one year since the last time I drove my motorcycles because they are back home in Brazil and I'm here for college. I started to ride motorcycles when I was 15 years old influenced by my father, who races with me. In the first picture, my bike is the purple one (the most beautiful bike) and my dad's bike is the green one. The second picture is my motard. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone, my name is Amanda Garbim. I'm not a new MM member but I currently started to get more involved in the club. I'm sophomore and my major is International Affairs. My older brother is a member too and I'm here because of him. Basically, he is the reason why I'm interested in cars but my true love is motorcycles. I have two motorcycles, one Kawasaki Ninja 300cc and a Honda CRF 230cc, which I made as a motard. Unfortunately, it's been one year since the last time I drove my motorcycles because they are back home in Brazil and I'm here for college. I started to ride motorcycles when I was 15 years old influenced by my father, who races with me. In the first picture, my bike is the purple one (the most beautiful bike) and my dad's bike is the green one. The second picture is my motard. <br />
