What is the significance of going with a white top/black bottom paint scheme? I wanted to do something different. Panda's are all over the place! Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I wanted to switch it up. After I found out the "Polar Bear" was originally silver, I nicknamed her the "Poser Bear." After this, the white top/black bottom just made sense.
What are your goals for the car? 10's on street tires is an immediate goal! Long term goals have yet to be set. I don't want to place any limitations on the car.
What's your favorite thing about your car? I would have to say it's the cold air intake I built for it here recently.
When people see your ride what do you want them to say? I would love to take that car down the track!
How long have you owned the car? August 2009.
Anything unique about the car? My seat is almost where the back seat used to be. lol
What kind of tuning style do you prefer in the future? Whatever gets the job done!
Who helped you build this car? Very few people have actually wrenched on this car, but tons have helped out! With out great friends, it wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today. Special thanks goes out to Chris Keagy(lilredeclipse), Charles Hensley(boostjunki84), Robert Morris(Robertm1212GSX), Mike Reed, Ryan Tarlton, Ian @ Appalachian, and Mike the MAD-man Ellis(JAXWHITE1G).
Who inspired the direction of modifications on this car? I find inspiration all over the place. People! God! Cars! Inspiration is all around us if we choose to take notice.
What don't you like about the car? I don't like the fact that every time I go to the track, I feel like my transmission is going to blow up!!
On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with the outcome of the car? As it sits now, I'd have to say 7. It's on the right track but it's not where I want it to be.
Where is your favorite place to drive the car? 1320
If you had to name the car what would you name it? Poser Bear
What was your previous project? 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
What is going to be your next project? That's going to be a surprise!
What one word best describes your car? Greedy.

Since the new site update, I am curious...how do you all like it? Noticed anything wrong? Enjoy it better than the old once yall got used to it? Let me know by commenting below!
(Also, I wanna see how many people actually look at news on the front page)
I still do have kind of a to-do list that I am very slowly working on that being (as I remember them):
- Get new logo up top that Tarry was amazing enough to do. <--DONE!
- Fix the smilies <--DONE!
- Clean up some css from designing this new style in about a half hour
- Make the site more friendly for the phones.
