" Huh--learn something every day--my 73s switch lights up "

That's a quote from Mike. He's been around these cars since new.

At nearly 30 years, I still feel like a newbie at times.

Jason, only you are in control of your inner noob. What does it matter what others think of your status? You must first be at peace with yourself then and only then can you truthfully assess your noobness. But, one that has very nearly disassembled an entire 2002 can hardly be counted among the uninitiated. HTH

Huh? I thought it was short for "nubile." Phew, I was starting to worry about you...

The only '02 guys who aren't true noobs are Alex Von Falkenhausen and Wilhelm Hofmeister.

I say keep it as is.

I voted to remove you mainly because you have gone through the ritual of bonding with your car by spilling blood on the car, reciting some weird incantations and then crudely bandaging your hand with what looks like duct tape.

I have performed these same rituals and hope someday to attain zen master status like you.

Oh you saw that. ;)

I've been around these cars since since new too.... You know, my parent's brought me home from the hospital in the '72 Tii they bought new. Some tool/troll here told me that I'm not old school?!?

Ha, even I still learn something new almost daily. :b....

Examples.... I'm learning M10 race engine stuff in prep to build a motor for the TiSA...... and, and, and.... Sean Casey and I tell each other stuff one or the other didn't know before, daily.

Jason, you can remove the noob, IF you come up with something else just as funny. Not that you need my/our permission to do anything.... :)

I know Tom.. In the real world, I will always be a newbie. But here.. Not so new.

I have lost my cleverness lately, due to the heavy shit going on. All I have is my original sig to fall back on..

"Screw you roundie guys, I'm just happy to have round head lights again! (wink)"

its 60/40 for dropping it. But the current sig is true, and hard to beat.

2002 newbie, and dead serious about it.
