A proper introduction
Ok guys, now that I've actually got the car and have had some time to do some research as to what I'm going to do with it I feel the time has come for a real introduction.
My name is Mike and I'm from Lafayette Louisiana. I'm a videographer by trade and I'm happily married with a beautiful little girl of 2 1/2. Cars are obviously a hobby of mine, as is writing, collecting antiques, building motorized bicycles, photography, astronomy, and brewing beer. Let's see if I can try to list some of the cars I've owned. 1984 Honda Prelude 1993 Mazda 626 1992 Mazda 323 1987 Toyota Supra turbo 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE V6 1976 Ford Maverick 1977 Pontiac Trans Am 1990 Mazda Miata 2001 Mazda Miata 2003 Ford Mustang Gt 2001 BMW 325i 1987 Honda Accord 1990 Honda Accord 1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 1981 Datsun 280zx 1984 Nissan 300zx turbo 1992 Volkswagen Golf GTi 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 1995 Acura Integra LS and I'm sure there are more.... I've driven everything from Ford Aspires and Geo Metros to 650+whp Supras, yet I always come back to the small little cars. Straight line speed has never impressed me that much, I like handling. Now being a father I need something reliable yet still fun, so I chose the Yaris. I'll eventually be getting another Miata in the future, however, as a second car. Oh, and I attached a couple of pictures to show some of the things I've owned in the past. |

Wow, that's a lot of cars! What do you currently own (I'm assuming it's a Yaris and the Bimmer)?

The emerald mica one got smooshed between two trucks (luckily at low speeds) about six weeks after I bought it, the mariner blue one I kept for about three years and then eventually got bored with it after I'd fully restored it.

Welcome Mike, I used to be a claims adjuster and worked all over Texas and Louisiana and I actually worked Hurricane Lily that hit Lafayette. I swear the people of Lafayette are the nicest people of any place i've ever been.
