Guess since everyone was doing the picture thing I guess I will....
Been hitting the weights for about 6-7 weeks now that I am on a health kick again. Don't worry, I will keep my neck.
Before (April-May 08)
Last night.
Just give me 6 more months and I will be cut up. My back and energy level are 100% again FINALLY!

I also have a set of RE-92 (stock WRX) tires. Good for light driving, and cheap tires for selling your car lol. They are all about 7/32. They are siped by Les Schwab, so you get a little better grip in low traction situations such as ice, rain and snow. Would like to get $100 for all 4, but I will accept offers.
Before I get ahead of myself, are these the 16" or the 17" tires? I might pick these up if we wind up coming your direction for Labor Day weekend.

Very nice tats! ^^^^^
I have plans to do a sleeve from ankle to upper-thigh on my right leg. I already have a few larger pieces on my right calf, so figured I'd get a few more pieces going up my leg and tie it all in together. I need a good artist to add a few more tats and then make it cohesive; I have sort of a central theme which I'm planning on using to tie it all in which is gonna be SICK, but I don't want to post it online cuz as far as I know it's never been done, and I don't want anyone to steal my idea
But anyways, here is what I have so far: (p.s. I like this whole picture show and tell time, this is fun 
)
Right calf. Both much older tattoos, got them both when I was still in high school. Since I have fair skin though they actually still appear to be pretty dark. I've gotten touch ups on the bottom and added that bit of color, but nothing on the top.
And here is my tramp stamp. I know, I know...tramp stamp and Kanji. Sooo 1999. But I was like 17 so whatever. Sorry for the poor quality, it's really hard to take a picture of your own back. It goes kind of far down. I spared you of the coin-slot view.
For some reason I couldn't shoot a normal looking pic of my wrist. I swear it's not that long and skinny looking normally. But yes, that is my wrist. And yes, I really do have pwn3d tattoed on my left wrist.
I've thought about covering up the wrist tat with a gloworm...see below. I go back and forth. I'm still debating.
Here is a lithograph of my brother who passed away in 02. I want to get this piece probably a little higher up on my leg so it can be larger and a focal point. This was done by a friend of mine, its from a pic of my bro in a recording studio back home in Chicago.
FYI, this was my bro (the tall guy in the back whose head is cut off). Yes, that is P-Funk with him.
I also want 'brother' in Hebrew, and the dates he was born and died:
I want this as well, by Maxon Crumb-brother of Robert Crumb. Such an awesome piece of his, called Jack Flash
And finally, Gerber the shih-tzu. I want this pic exactly because he is the best dog ever.
The bf doesn't want me to get any more tats, so this is one of the areas we've been clashing on. But I figure hey, it's my leg...right? I really like how it looks when someone has a full sleeve on their arm or leg and nothing else, especially on women, which is what I'm planning on doing (with the exception of the already completed small ones on my back and wrist). Any good artists locally who you think can make this happen or as with most things, do I need to venture down to SF?

Almost forgot, I need to sell some S**T now lol. If anyone wants a manual boost controller, I have a sick one. It is the Halman Evolution RX. It has a cable that you run inside the car for on the fly adjustment. Realistically, it is nice for not popping your hood to change boost settings. It takes a little more effort to fine tune with the cable than the regular Halman RX, but it is a nice feature. This is pretty much the best MBC you can get...highly recommended by several tuners, as long as you understand the risks of bypassing your ECU controlled boost control.
To avoid the downsides of an MBC, check out this thread on running dual boost controllers using this one and the GM 3 port:
Dual Boost Controllers
It has the ceramic ball for quick response, and it has the heavy spring installed for 10+ psi. Humboldt special of $100 picked up.
I also have a set of RE-92 (stock WRX) tires. Good for light driving, and cheap tires for selling your car lol. They are all about 7/32. They are siped by Les Schwab, so you get a little better grip in low traction situations such as ice, rain and snow. Would like to get $100 for all 4, but I will accept offers.
2 2006 WRX TR front seats in good condition. Adjustable headrest...basically same seats as later model RS. Side airbags, etc. Would like to get $100 each.

But seriously, don't call me ma'am for another 10 years, so nevermind.Nice, I don't think I've seen your Evo. Saw a sweet black one the other day and was wondering if it was you.

Well personally, I've been doing research on a new clutch and flywheel. Also in the market for new wheels and tires. I want to go down to 16"...I miss the set-up on my first wagon. Once I get those necessary things done I'll work from there, but between that and the 30k service that should set me back a while financially.

Ok, I think I'm re-prioritizing things here. After much research and discussion I may instead just get the flywheel and clutch replaced under warranty to fix the squeak squeak which seems to be getting worse and worse, and then invest my monies into a TBE, Cobb Accessport & some sweet new tires Sleeper wagon

I agree if you're paying it's stupid. And yeah, Nader isn't going anywhere near my car, don't worry. I've learned my lesson about Nader
