waldo: Ed
Why you chose your forum username: College joke. Might have been into some software back in the day, of which I was 'warez waldo'. But those times are gone.
AGE: 22.
LIVING SITUATION: Single with gf with me until she goes to grad school.
LOCATION: Shelby, NC (just out of Charlotte)
JOB: Controls Engineer for Milliken. Graduated with EE and CPE from NC State 12/03. Had the job lined up for under a year.
HOBBIES: Unpacking boxes.
Anything else about you: I am a huge E46 fan. Had a cherry 03 330i lined up, but found out the owner sold it before I could formally offer a price. So I bought the 8. Which is a very sweet car. I _will_ have a 330i, but might have to keep the 8 too.
I kept my 92 explorer as a daily driver. 175k and counting, which is good since I have always driven it like anyone would drive their 8.
And no, daddy didnt buy it for me. Daddy didnt buy the explorer either. Paid cash over 3 years ago for it. Independant is the only way to go!

Name: Richard
EDIT- after creating this I just realized this is a southeast forum- but here is the bio anyway)
username comes from an email address I used to use for Ford Probe (and other) mailing lists- how interesting......
Age: 39
Living situation- Living with girlfriend for 8 years - who knows what will happen! (I like the fact that 2 other people here have been living with GF for almost as many years before getting hitched)
Location: Manhattan, NY
Occupation: still to be determined!!! Make a meager living doing various freelance things related to film and video. Editing videos, TV shows, commercials, (Just worked on Girls Behaving Badly today) Directing some projects ( used to direct alot of fashion- it was horrible- all those naked models- even got on to the set of Victorias Secret)
I have a music video I directed and edited that is about to start running on MTV2's Subteranean, for The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. You can see the video online at www.slideshowplayers.com or directly at this link.
http://nova.lunarpages.com/~editvi2/MTweb15.mov
It's nice work and pays very well, when you can get it. I also have my own high defintiion TV edit suite.
more videos at http://www.edit-video.com/
Hobbies- work is my hobby mostly, but of course love things involving racing. Also love home theater projection, High end stereo (using tube amplifiers) recording and producing records
for friends bands, helping them at gigs, with their career, (see above video as it qualifies as an unpaid hobby) Also love ebay!!
The RX8 - a big hobby as this car is total overkill for Manhattan - where I do most of my driving. I do have spots where I can open it up a bit though- lots of stoplight racing which the RX8 can be good for if your willing to rev high (and I do)

Why you chose your forum username: Because I drive a Spa Yellow S2000. (Sorry I'm a troll, but I promise to behave!!)
AGE: 24
LIVING SITUATION: Single
LOCATION: Miami, Florida
JOB: Administrative Assistant.
HOBBIES: Sports. I love to go to and watch Football, Hockey, and any race around (Nascar, F1, Indy). Play on the net, work out.
Anything else about you: I owned an 88 RX-7 convertible. LOVED IT. Black on Black w/Grey interior. I had to sell the car because I was a victim of vandilism and it cost too much to fix the car up. Just wasn't worth it. My sis owned a 82 RX-7 (1st Gen) and bro owned a 87 RX-7 (2nd Gen hard top). As you can see we are a ROTARY Family. I hope maybe to get an 8 within 2 yrs.
Tidbit: I'm a girl!
Very close in age to my brother hence why i like sports and cars, but i'm still a girly girl!

Why you chose your forum username: It's kind of self explanitory...
AGE: 17 *yes i know, i'm a baby, but at least I'm not in high school :D ...No offence to anybody*
LIVING SITUATION: I still live with my mom..
LOCATION: Gainesville, FL
JOB: Full Time Student/CSR
HOBBIES: Basically anything that is car related and almost nothing that has to do with being "girlie." I may dress like a girl, but shopping and all that is some of my least fav. stuff to do! I would choose having my hands in an engine than being in a mall anyday! I like autox and other track events...Proving yourself on the streets isn't everything
Anything else about you: I have a 91 BMW 318i with an M3 Motor in it...My little 5spd...I love my baby...but my 2004 Silver RX-8 6spd is nice too!! If you live in Gainesville and come out to the thrus. night meetings...I'm the only RX-8 out there and one of 2 non-car hoe girls...
