Current: In-between cars, if there's such a thing. I sold private.

Soon: 1975 MGB Classic Roadster, once I find a god damned seller.


You had a Porshe?? No kidding. My favourite cars of all time.

Cars are for sissies.
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

MGB Roadster > Porshe.

The Porshe gearbox frustrated me, and the engine needed a little more than just a fine tune. It was old, but good, and very cheap. First car.

The MGB has more raw power. It's not the kind of car that purrs along.. it roars. Other cars get out of the way in a hurry, and it attracts lots of onlookers. I was in love with the design and engine ever since I saw one at a classic roadshow.

I've wanted to own one ever since.

Absolutely none. I'm like the Woody Allen of the universe.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I wear whatever, just about anything that fits I'll wear, as long as it isn't womens clothing.

I tend to mostly listen to ska, but also some punk, with a touch of hXc.

Clothes: I go comfy. Either my urban-camo bdus (well broken in, they're soft and lovely now) or muted earthtones. browns, dark greens and yellows, and white. usually, a t-shirt tucked into my pants (i have this weird aversion to wearing shorts..when i do, they go past my knees) and an open, buttonup shirt above.

I'm a bum. My home shirts are usually stained, or bleach spotted, pants are falling apart.

For example.. right now, I'm wearing this ugly orange tshirt thats says "Too many freaks, too few circuses" and BROWN plaid pants.

For outdoor life, I prefer blank, solid colors.

For dress up stuff.. i wear dress up stuff. But fuck blending in, I'f i'm gonna be uncomfortable, in a formal place.. I'm going to look like me, dammit.

Interesting thread...

My music tastes are fairly boxed in, I guess much like Vorbo. Other types of music will occasionally draw me in but it's pretty much all rock with me, then again I see rock music as being such a broad part of music in itself that sometimes it doesn't seem that boxed in.

Looks-wise I dress like a 70's throwback, pretty much the same as how my mom did when she was my age. I can't wear jeans that aren't flared in some way or another, i'm just not comfortable even if I have to do it myself. Oh, and I make/customise a lot of my clothes when I get bored. My hair changes colour about 4 times a year because I get bored of that pretty quickly as well.

I wouldn't know how to describe my general manner, It counts as style right? I'm fairly relaxed until one of my siblings starts winding me up, fairly neutral, gets along with most people. I thrive on change and I prefer to be around people. I grew up with boys so I'm pretty blokey at times as well. I talk a lot and can't stand being stuck with somebody I can't have a decent conversation with.

Yeah. That's me.

My Hair's about shoulder length right now

Music? Whatever I like, usually Rock... not country or rap....

Jeans, t-shirt, sandals, hair flying free usually.

Music tastes run from classic rock to 80's music, blues, reggae, classical, motown, soul, gospel, ska, big band, old country music like Patsy Cline and Willy Nelson etc.. pretty much anything but rap unless it is old rap.

Clothes: KIS,S. Jeans, sneakers, t-shirt. More or fewer layers as the weather dictates. Sunglasses until half hour past sundown.

Music: It has to be loud. And after you get it loud, it has to be louder. Zombie, Static, Nonpoint, Disturbed, Rage. Rap is sometimes tolerable, but never in my car.

Car: When I'm in my truck, I am God. Windows down if possible, music up intolerably high if I'm alone. I accelerate hard, shift hard, and cruise well. I don't go particularly fast, but I enjoy every minute I'm in my automobile.

Human interaction: Light, easy bullshit if person is a mere acquaintance. If more than a casual friend, stick to topics all concerned parties know. Vulgarity is encouraged.

Clothes: Baggy pants, tight/skimpy shirts, and sterling silver jewelry (rings, a watch, and earrings). I try my best not to be girly or preppy.

Music: Real techno (I mean the stuff that is not on played on the radio), metal, and spacey/flowy-type music. One exmple for each: Orbital, Chevelle, and Enya. No rap, rarely pop (it's extremely rare having me listening to pop), and definitely no country .

I like geeky T-shirts, too. My all-time favorite showed a bunch of little critters (labeled "centims") being chased by a toothy dinosaur (labeled "centim-eater"). The back showed the little critters attacking the prostrate dinosaur (labeled "dyne centim-eater"). The dinosaur is saying, "Erg."

For those not into that particular flavor of geekery, an erg is a dyne-centimeter.

Clothes: Always some sort of surfer-brand t-shirt/long-sleeve like Bullhead and cargo pants/shorts combination depending on weather. I wear the t-shirts more for the bad-ass designs rather than the brand name, as they really put some intricacy into the dragons, flames, mermaids, etc they put on them. Cargo pants have become a necessity just to carry around all my stuff without totally filling my two front pockets, as I hate sitting down on something in a back pocket. Then, I have normal sneakers, sports watch, and semi-expensive glasses, so I look like some sort of mix between a skater, jock, and computer geek

Music: Wide range of musical tastes, you guessed it. The genres I can't stand the majority of songs in are Rap+R&B, which is becoming harder for me to distinguish nowadays since it seems to be talking about the same damn crap in every single song, country, and opera. I don't deny that there are some good songs in each, but since they overplay any remotely decent rap or r&b song to death on the radio, it swiftly gets annoying, especially after the 1,986,431th airing of any Nelly or Jay-Z song.

I shop at a bunch of different stores for my clothes, I buy anything I think is cute, mostly from Deb or Gadzooks or Pennies, places like that ^.^

I do have a lot of shirts from Thinkgeek.com though

I am really open minded about music, if it is not Rap, I will at least give it a chance ^.^

I wear Jeans, Khaki's, T-shirts, long sleeve shirts, uh, anything really. I like American Eagle Rugby shirts Polo shirts are awesome too, I wear those a good bit.

Don't drive anything, and uh, I also listen to any music I want to, really. Metal, old rap, Techno, Trance, yadda yadda.

How about that lack of style.
