Default Just Saying Hi.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ramy. I am not too new to the forum, but I am stationed in whidbey now. I just got back from deployment (Iraq), and I am ready to have some fun. I found a pretty good deal on a 98 C5. I would like to start participating in you guys' group. I also need some help on modding it. So far the previous owner has some shitty cherry bombs looking things welded on. the don't sound too loud on the outside yet they drone a lot on the freeway. So, that's the priority for now. Eventually I would like to put a decent cam on there (mainly for sound) and the supporting mods. It's an A4. I will post pics up VERY soon.

What's up man. Your car looks awesome. I always thought that TA's look a lot more aggressive than vettes. Nice ride man. I hope to see it soon whenever there is like a group meeting/ride.

ZANGEL, That's cool, i will take some pics and send you an email with the car's info. I am looking forward to a nice weekend cruise that's for sure.

B-Rad2, I understand what you mean, but I just have a special spot in my heart for TA's. I got a C5 partly because of my wife. You're not missing much trust me, they are very alike.

NVME, that's cool man. Crayne got crazy whenever we pulled in port. Me and Ramos went out together when we were in Turkey, he made me puke...thats all i am going to say...lol.
