I came back home....
Haven't been back to HAN since 10/19/06. At least that's what it says in the upper right hand corner under my name. Definitely been a long time.

I went to live my life and grow up, just a little bit...
Well, actually, HAN was the first forum I had ever found and registered with right after I bought a 94 Integra LS sedan in '01. I think I found HAN because I wanted to know more about minor mods like short AI and strut bars. My name was Bumpin_Kicker_Teg back then. I contributed quite a bit, especially in the Audio forum. I asked to be and was granted to be a mod in there for a few years - early 2000's.
I think those were the glory years for HAN, when HAN had it's highest membership. I even remembered talk of Honda possibly shutting HAN down for infringement purposes.
Then I bought a 99 Si in 2002 and started drifting away towards a more specific Si site. I asked for my username here to be changed to what it is now. Soon after that, I resigned my moderator duties and left them solely to..... Iceman, I believe. He was the pro of pros who did installs for professional ball players and wealthy people in Texas and also just started a high profile security business. Audio/video technology was changing and not many needed help with the basics anymore, and that was I mostly knew. So I didn't think I was needed anymore.
But... I sold the Si in October of 2005 cause I had a kid earlier that year, and needed a larger car. I ended up ordering a Taffeta White 06 Accord and picked it up in Dec. 2005. (I had to order it because I wanted a manual and they could not source one for me. It was easiest to order it.) The only mods I've done thus far on the Accord are tint, TL rear sway bar, OEM Honda red stitched shift knob, and Volk rims (for the summer).
Now that my little dude is a little older, I'm gettin the itch again. Not to mod, nor to race, nor to track, (I did neither with the Si except for mods), but to find my dream ride - an ITR.
This will definitely not help my 2 older boys' college funds, but oh well. I had to take out student loans and am still paying them. Their daddy deserves something special, too.
So I'm back to my old stomping grounds in search of a garage queen...

Glad to have you back.
Iceman was the shit. I wonder what ever happened to that dood. I was in awe of his knowledge and his security deal. I wanted to be able to legally carry illegal weapons in my trunk too!
