What's up John?! Cow town is, well, Cow town.
Sure beats the hell out of being up in Portland with the crazy cold winters, that's for sure.
After getting my Accord totaled in 04 I had to step away from the import scene cause it was nothing but bad news for me. Don't know if you remember my "SaucyCivic" but once I got that thing done up the way I wanted it I got nothing but the bad kind of attention. That ended up with it getting stolen and stripped of ever accessory I put on it except for the suspension and paint job. Then I got my "94Uhkord" and did it up relatively mild and non-attention grabbing and got the system stolen out of it twice, then got hit by some douche bag on Hwy 70 and not only lost my Uncle as a result but also got my car totaled as well.
If I had gotten another import I would have eventually fixed it up as well and with the luck I had with my two previous imports I decided it just wasn't worth it so i've been focusing my efforts on car detailing and car audio. I own my own small business for detailing called "Mirror Images" and work full time at one of the largest DME companies in the country.
So are you still doing your 4wheel/off-road thing, photography stuff or have you moved on to something else?

Nah I moved on last Janurary and ended up working for an alternative fuel system manufacturer as production line manager. Was a great job until the economy tanked. It's still in business and I still work with them but not enough to keep a paycheck flowing. So now I am looking for work (since July) and also have my daughter living with me full time...thats a whole other story though.

Yeah I am kinda done with modding right now. I started modding my diesel truck and stopped at a reasonable point. Maybe in the future when work is stable, but I have too much to deal with right now. May be moving to Alaska but that is still in the air right now so in the PDX area I will stay for now.

Growing older by the minute...I think I aged 10 years in the last couple months from all this shit.
