Default New from Ohio

Hello all, came across this forum looking for pictures of S&Ws AR-15 and had to join to get some pics up. I have my M&P-15 sport, a Taurus PT1911, and a Mossberg 500 Persuader, all of which can be seen in my first post in the M&P 15 pic thread. Between me and my GF and her brother we have 13 or so firearms, and get out to shoot as often as possible, usually at my parents house where they have 100 acres of woods to shoot/hunt. Im looking into getting my CHL as soon as I can schedule a day for the class. When Im not working or out shooting I dump way too much money into my cars in the always elusive chase for speed.

I look forward to posting on the forums, have any questions feel free to ask!

Hello from the South. Your parent's place sounds nice.

I too, put a lot of money in cars - that's all they seem to do, cost money.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have 2 second generation Eclipses, a 95 and a 99. Neither of them are turbocharged unfortunately, so i decided to make a mark just with engine building skills. This car with the 2.0 non turbo 4 cyl makes 105 at the wheels stock. Last time on the dyno it made 170. Best quarter mile with a dying stock block was 15.3 @ 89mph, which sadly was enough to beat 3 v8 powered cars at the track that night. I may post up a few vids of it later, im proud to say its far from the riced out matchboxes most people turn them into.
