I think the first thing important to point out is my genuine passion for cars. I started out loving muscle cars when I was a little boy, then moved on to modified import cars in high school. Now, I like em all. I love everything having to do with cars, but the thing I like most is driving cars. Because after all, that's what they're used for right? It's all about the thrill of the drive. Two of my other big interests are Japanese anime and sports. When I'm not watching ESPN on TV, I'm watching fansubbed anime on my computer! I also have a slight passion for photography at the moment, but that leads right back to my passion for cars, because I got into photography to take pictures of cars! Food that I wouldn't mind getting a heart attack from is Steak! Wrapped in bacon! My current whip is a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT but my dream whip: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. No wait, Aston Martin DBS. No maybe the Lambo. Nah, I prefer the Aston. Argh! I cant decide on one! If I could have any video game super power, I would have GOD MODE! Why? Is any explanation needed?
