I'm so GRM that....

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

QuasiMofo hugged me and said "I love you man."

$2017 plan is so huge I haven't started building yet.

illuminati

I'm Rick James, bitch.

(Yes this is supposed to be fun, not serious at all, though when certain people call ME for info it makes me feel like i might actually know something)

I fed omelets to a bus driver and his son on an epic adventure.

I read the magazine.

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.

I'm so (old, OG) GRM that I know Noel is not just for Christmas.

I have tattoos of the entire staff.

I had a car so cheap and unloved that it's appearance in print generated hate mail.

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.

Designed graphics for 2 Challenge cars.

Run 2 race efforts on a third-world income.

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.

I saw the amy thread too. Jesus that was legendary. I still have the original text somewhere.

But did you get them on your hootus?

In reply to mndsm:

I'm still waiting on a copy of that. I might know someone with 20 gigs of hosting space and no web content

I'm So GRM that in the days of old I had my screen name and 2 others for smack talk... Good times, Good Times

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.

In reply to mndsm:

That is a very good point.

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 ? )

I'm so GRM that I got married in a running car.

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

I'm so GRM I don't even subscribe to the mag' anymore.

I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this...

...also, I catch myself saying "Berk" and "Shiny person" instead of the actual terms.

I would have been severely disappointed if this didn't show up in here
