Hey everyone,

I stumbled upon this place while looking for some locals to hang out with and share my car hobby. I live on Kent Island just over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I haven't met many guys in my area, and am hoping I can network here to change that.

Good lord! I'm fairly sure our good Dr. had a "moment" after seeing this post. What an amazing example! Wow!

Good Lawdy!! This is an UhhhMazing example of a VR-4. It almost looks like you had a JDM donor car. Eeeeeesh! So nice brudda.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. It didn't always look like it does now. Here's a few before and after pictures:

Yeah, Darrin is going to have to be restrained. Rightfully so.
Your steering wheel looks like it is on the wrong side of the car.
You know, I have never stopped in Kent, I always thought about it but was always in a rush.
Hell of a hike, but would be cool to see you at a meet. We got one on Thursday coming up.

Very nice! Had a VR-4 and a Galant GSX. Still have a 1G DSM I use for snowdays. Welcome to the group.

Sweeeeeet

That is a beautifully done VR-4!! Congrats!

We're a heck of a haul from you, but it would be great to see you and the car!
