Default Intro

All right. I am a new member of your forum. I am 21 years old, currently deployed with the 1st Marine Division to Ramadi, Iraq. I am a Marine Corps Journalist. I am from Chapel Hill, NC but live in SoCal, well except for now.

My last car, a 95 Caddy Eldorado ETC was fast and reliable, but didn't handle well. The car I had before that was an 87 944 Turbo. It handled well, was quick but was not reliable at all. The LS1 car I buy will be all of the things I want.

I have driven plenty of Fbody's, ridden in more and look forward to owning one when I come back to the states. Until then, I going to laugh at people getting called out in the Kill stories section.

Welcome to the site and thanks for serving

I know that the car I ended out with was everything I wanted and after 2 years I am still very happy with her.

He is Joker's counterpart in Full Metal Jacket. I guess the Joker thing has been used too many times.
