Introduction/About you thread, 20 simple questions.

Ok so I am waiting for my camera batteries to charge and doing some online classes for work and I know there is an intro thread somehwere but I wanted to start something a little more in depth, sometimes it's nice to put a face with a name.

If you wanna sticky this that would be cool. I want to keep this in the 73 to 79 forums please.

Ok so I borrowed this idea from am Audi forum, I will try and keep it short-ish but interesting, pictures are most definitely welcome and if you want to abstain from answering something that's fine but don't skip the whole thing, some info is better than no info, this is not meant to be an interrogation just to share some info, it's interesting to see how different we all are and how much we have in common. Just copy the format and paste into a response and fill out answers. I'll go first.
It takes like 5 min or less it's only 20 questions.


Copy and Paste this:

1. Name

2. Age

3. Sex

4. Where do you live now

5. Where were you born

6. Current vehicle you drive most IE Daily Driver

7. First vehicle you ever owned

8. Favorite vehicle you ever owned

9. What you do for work now

10. First job you ever had

11. Best job you ever had

12. Worst job you ever had

13. Married/Dating/Single/Divorced/Seperated/Estranged/Mail order spouse

14. Kids and or Pets

15. Favorite Food

16. Favorite Drink

17. Favorite Hobby (Besdies your truck)

18. Favorite sport

19. Last thing you did to your truck

20. Something else interesting/strange/weird/cool about you (keep it PG!)

Thats it! Don't forget to subscribe! And post pictures!

Yep, N/A 5.4L. It's not the fastest thing out there, but it gets up and goes when you want it to. I'd like to mod it, but parts for these cars are ridiculously expensive. A half decent set of shorty headers will set you back around $2,000 after a tune and superchargers are $10,000+.

I'd love to have an E63 some day. Those cars sound ****ing amazing.

Ya the NA 6.3 from AMG is an engineering masterpiece and one of the best sounding engines I have ever heard. I live an old school merikan V8 but German muscle sounds so much better. BMW's NA 5 liter V8 in their E39 M5 is one of my all time favorite engines. Search YouTube sometime for it, it's better than ****!

I considered them when I was looking for a car but couldn't justify the $5,000-$10,000 cost difference (compared to the E55) and maintenance issues with them. I'm also not a fan of BMW interiors.

I bought my car with no records and 91,000 on it. I've had it for a year and have 107,000 now and have only had to get caught up on maintenance. It's still been expensive, but luckily a good friend of mine works at an indy shop and his boss lets him do side jobs.
