Here's a brief history about myself. I think I've been here long enough that I can be openly honest with you guys. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I've been on this board since early November .... or something like that. I've been into cars since 1996 (I was 15 back then) and the whole reason why I got into cars was after looking at a metallic blue 180SX with a Nismo body kit on one of those Japanese car magazines. Plus there was some guy who drove an S13 Onevia at my high school with a gold paint job and a body kit. I thought that car was the shit. Since then, I've become a car geek and a walking aftermarket parts catalog. It was funny when I could identify a car type (model, trim, car name), body kit, brand of exhaust, and style of wheels from a block away. So it was obviously I've been hittin' the books. Plus I've been following the "scene" for so #### long I've seen trends, California teams, new tuning techniques, parts, and stuff come and go.

Back in MY day, there was only ONE 10 sec. CRX.

Anyway, here's the deal. I currently drive an automatic 92 Integra RS since down the line in high school I got sucked into the Honda scene. Why an auto? Well, blame my parents. Anyway, I've been out of work and stuff, so I haven't gotten around to getting another car for a very long time. I don't "own" a 240SX at all. I still have this hoopty Integra. So I sorta felt weird about visiting this board and asking questions. I love the 240SX since day one when I was a car newbie. I dunno, since I don't own one, I feel sorta outta place even though I can answer a few questions here and there for board members from time to time about their cars and parts.

Anyway, since I'm a Honda owner, I don't have a 240SX and I have no clue when I would get one, does this make me seem like a poser or something? This was something I asked myself after one guy sorta got a bit of heat for asking a question and one guy asked why he'd ask the question if he didn't have the car yet. I dunno, it's just one of those things I've been thinking about. Do I belong here? Or am I just some wannabe?

*sigh*

I just sorta feel silly. =)
