Introduce yourself!

Once the forum really gets rolling it will be inevitable that there will be dozens opon dozens of intro threads. So here's the OFFICIAL Intro thread.

Occupation: Work for in the corp office of a Real Estate Company by day. Freelance Graphic designer by night.

Education: Degree in Media.

Other interests: DMiller Lite, billiards, Chicken Wings. Home remodeling. My wife. Video Games.

Other info: I've been a member of Zilvia since 2003. Have been a long time premie member there. Was a mod for a stint. Had the second highest rep before we decided to nix the system all together. I've been following these cars development since the beginning. Glad they are ALMOST here. Finally. Patiently waiting for Nissan's response.

Name: Calvin

Age: 22

Location: Statesboro Gawja (GA)

What I drive:1988 Maxima that sat outside for 7 years

Occupation: Student

Education: Soon to be Degrees in Marketing and Management

Other interests: I am a huge fan of music and food. I like to try all kinds just to see if I can like something new. I am a die hard Nissan and Chevy fanboy

Something different: I'm a black guy that listens to hard rap, ICP, and death metal

Other info: Zilvia was the first forum I posted on under the SN future240, I joined in 07 and didnt start posting to 08. I became a premium member sometime later after I grew addicted to the site. Since then I have spent my time trying to make it to mod (highly unsuccessful)and to try to make Zilva better place by being helpful when I can, and getting more traffic to come there. (especially to the Z side). I am going to bring that same thought process and attitude to this site.

Glad to meet you all, been ridiculously excited about this car since i first heard about it, sniffing out every tid bit of info i could find and am very glad to hear it now has a dedicated forum.

it almost makes me want to leave academia and get a job for a few years just so i can buy one. the toyota track version is probably the only car i would consider trading in teh GC for. also like the news on the next gen 1 series...

Name: Sam

Age: 21

Location: Saskatchewan, Canada

What I drive: 1991 Supra Twin Turbo R (working on single turbo conversion)

Occupation: work in a grocery store...

Education: High school...yes! Will be going to school for dental hygiene, or maybe computer science if I can figure out a field.

Other interests: Spending all of my money on worldly nonsense like turbos and sweet TVs, hot cashiers, automobiles, Gran Turismo, Sega Dreamcast...

Something different: I'd rather not think about were I'll be in 10 years. Probably still driving around in a 1991 Supra and eating Froot Loops at 3 in the morning while watching Ren & Stimpy.

Other info: I tried to tune my engine myself. I went a bit too lean. Then I melted some pistons. I was filled with shame and self pity. Then I bought thousands of dollars of shit like forged pistons, a turbo kit, a rebuild kit. Now I'm much happier (and poor).
