There are currently 11 cars in my yard purchased as potential (or past) challenge cars, and 1 more at a friends shop. Or restated, I'm so GRM that I have a yard Full of Challenge cars.
Psst. The $2017 entry is coming along nicely.

I hesitated to type anything because I feel like I'm trying too hard...

I'm so GRM that:
-ParanoidAndroid is my crew chief
-The R63 (pre explosion) was one of our service rigs
-Mazdeuce tried to figure out how to type my name
-I proposed in a broken rally car and drove away from the ceremony in a different broken rally car
-I drove a $1000 Maverick across the desert (and the rest of the country) in August
-When I build a new race car I go shopping for other people's abandoned projects
-I go out of town to Harbor Freight so much that they're adding one in my town
-I drove 16 hours in a car I've never seen with nothing but a change of clothes and a sawzall to go to the Challenge
-I stayed awake for 40 hours to build the Ghettocet
-I've made a wing out of Trans Am door skins
-I laugh every time I drive by Berkeley Springs
-I have race cars that I forget are there until I walk into my shed
-I beat irish44j in his own car
-I've been beaten by irish44j and that same car more times than I can count
-I've done stints in three of Speedycop's LeMons cars
-I've autocrossed a car with 6 turn lock-to-lock steering and unpowered drum brakes
-I've laid up a carbon fiber part in a hotel bathtub

I have a Miata.

I've met at least 5 board members (and had one of them grab my butt).

I saw the "Amy" thread in real time.

I was quoted in "Say what?" exactly once. For gardening.

No less than 6 GRM t-shirts in my dresser drawer.

Current stable: Mazda5, 94 Miata, Protege5 (wagon)

Briefly raced in the GRM GT6 races until I got tired of finishing on a different lap than Spoolpigeon.

Quoted in Say What? for a comment on lawn darts.

I know, pretty weak.

I'm not sure if we are looking things as related to the mag/website or a grm way of life so heres one of each,

Mag/forum: I've introduced myself by my username

Way of life: I've bought car parts for cars/projects I couldn't use or had any planned need for, just because they were cheap. Namely two sets of big block chevy heads for $25 total. I don't currently own a BBC nor do I have any plans to or any vehicles that would accept a BBC. But come on, $25.

While I am willing to share on a case by case basis, with the original persons name removed simply because it's a damn good story, I cannot recommend you host it. There's too many people that know the whole thing, and it could be damaging.

Well, my only pseudo-claim to fame is that I know Pat.

Also, I once again have more non-drivable than drivable cars. (Is that a normal or inverse ratio in the GRM world ? )

We'd be more impressed if you married someone you assembled from spare parts.
