I am new(can you tell?)

Post by Savanna RX-7 GT-X »

Yeah, I am new, so that means whever I join a new forum, I do one of these threads. So here some standard info I usualy share as no one here knows me.

Age:23
Real Location:Madison WI
Info Stuff:
Own a 1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE(limieted edtion model ran for 2 years, has the 13B engine, and not what was at the time the normal 12A)
Watch lotta Anime(Gundam mostly, Cowboy Bebop, and some others) and Racing(not NASCRAP or NASREDNECKTRUCK, I mean like GT Tourning, Le Mans, good stuff).
Pretty active Gamer(Project Gotham Racing 2 on Xbox Live and Phantasy Star Online Epsisode 1 & 2 and Episode 3 C.A.R.D. and Initial D Arcade Stage Ver2(3 not here yet..))
Pretty extesive US Gundam Figure Collection.
Mazda Fanatic.
UM, what else, I used to moderate at more than a few forums, now jsut only a game site called DigitialBackSpin(DBS for short)

I used to be big into Transformers, but aroudn 5th grade or so cartoon type shows left till about 5 eyars ago or so when I got into Anime, and then when the Alternators series was out, kidna brought me back(plus they releasing a RX-8 version later in White and Red helps, hehe).

I will try to be active here, but life has been pretyt busy latley, even with my bad foot hehe, later.

Almost forgot, what are the Rules on Avatars and Signatures here?

Oh, I just noticed there a area for this, that not here, could someone move it please?

Consider it moved. i'm TT, the most active member here. (bring it on, trance!) but trance is the head god-man, and runs a good store. i'm sure of course you have the mazda rx-8 transformer (now named meister) screen saver? if not, i think i have it in suggest a site or cool links or something. as for avatars and banners, nothing immoral or inappropriate. avatars have a size limit, unless you link offsite. i guess keep it reasonably small. only two of us have banners, so we haven't had any problems. i guess keep it narrow and reasonable. k?

and welcome to the site! *shakes hand dramatically*

my favorite is IM002621. if you have dialup and are only patient enough for one (they're big) this is the one. i wish i could take pics that cool looking all the time. and no, the car is not going 120mph despite how it looks. no matter how i tried though, i could not duplicate the lighting in the pic of the mazda! got any more of yours, savanna? that's a real piece of work there... what color is it actually?

EDIT: okay, found the rest of the pics. beautiful... a nice photogenic, metallic grey. but how'd you get the yellow lighting? are you a photographer, or were those pics just taken with love, or both? you've inspired me, i'm going to have to take some more of mine. i should wash it though before i do any daytime ones.

welcome to a small community with a bunch of ppl that are more or less crazy.


Hey, TT, if you check this thread, I got those gumballs off of the gumball tree. Tell Aaron we need to play D&D soon, I'll bring the gumballs.

WELCOME, SAVANNA RX-7 GT-X Y2K4 USA! Wait, that name doesn't look quite right, i think i stuck something extra in there by mistake. Well, we're glad to have ya, anyways. And your car. Speaking of which, does your car have a name and/or alt-mode? (i used to know a guy who had an Autobot crest on the hood of his car, but he moved before i learned that it was his car, so i never got to ask him about it.)

So, there was this story in Reader's Digest magazine--true story--about this individual whose sweet tooth caused him/her (i forget which) some trouble after discovering a new spouse's secret stash of gumballs. Popping one into his/her mouth and biting down revealed that the colorful orb was not very sweet; the spouse's secret stash actually wasn't gumballs, but evidence that the spouse enjoyed paintball.

This has nothing to do with you, Savanna, but i didn't know what else to do with TT and 13's gumball discussion. (Do dragons chew gum? Or do dungeons chew gum? *suddenly pictures Autobot Doublecross blowing a bubblegum bubble, and setting it on fire*)

But returning to the subject (which should be Savanna, but seems to have become personal modes of transportation, instead): Aanallein! Sweet ride! i wish i could drive one of those...

As for any or all of you snapping shots of your vehicles, as long as your camera isn't about to break into three pieces and grow and transform into evil robots, i say keep doing what you're doing.

And if you think your shutterbuggery needs improvement, Traveller, try Savanna's link again. Worked for me.

no matter what i do, that link will not work. i've tried everything, it refuses me there. if my camera did divide into three robots, i'd be like "hey! i DO have an LMC reflector! allright!"
