Some of you may know me from NASIOC, which has been my home since 2002 (the better part of 8 years now).
About me: At the moment I am in school at NC State University in Raleigh, in my last semester of a degree in <big breath> Environmental Technology, Organic Chemistry & Toxicology <wheew/>... I've been a Subaru owner now for 10 years, and can't see myself in anyother type of car :)... I'll be leaving for Army Flight School on January 23rd to learn to fly this:

;)
When I get back (sometime in 2013 is my best guess at this point), I'll be flying out of the National Guard unit stationed at RDU international Airport and looking for a job, HOPEFULLY with the EPA environmental labs here in Raleigh, NC.
About the car: Well my first Subaru ended up being the first car I'd ever wanted. No seriously... When I was 10 years old, I remembered reading an issue of Car&Driver, when I saw a strange red coupe with wierd windows (like a Lambo or something)... And I remember thinking to myself, "that is badass, I want one of those cars". The car I was infact looking at was Subaru's brand spanking new "SVX" (This was 1992 mind you ;) )... Well, just over 9 years later, I purchased my very own 1995 Subaru SVX... Our road was a long one together, with the SVX getting a number of prestigious achievements, such as:
- 11th car in the world to have a Manual Transmission swap (they were all AUTO from the factory)
- 2nd recorded Koni/GC suspension installation in the world
- Test bed for ECUTune's N/A Engine Management
Those are the main ones I can remember at the moment, so I'll finish the story of my first love with a picture:

My current car is a 2006 Subaru WRX STi (Former "Boxer4Racing.com / Continential Tire" STi to be MORE exact ;) )... It's a two time class winner of One Lap of America (2007 & 2008), holds NUMEROUS time trial class records and has dominated almost every hillclimb event there is in the southeastern states...

That was then... This is now, almost all of the performance parts have been TEMPORARILY removed while I finish up my last year of college and head off to flight school...

But there are new plans for 2013 after flight school is finished, so stay tuned because I think it will be something that EVERYONE on here would love to see ;)
Newest addition to the "family"... "Lucy" the 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Wagon

I hope to meet some of you in the future!
