Default Howdy y'all!

Alright, well as you can tell, I'm a Texan, from San Antonio now, originally El Paso. I actually don't have an accent, but its fun to pretend. Anyway, I've had my 95 318ti since about August, and been a member since then. This is just my first thread, well cuz I don't go to my computer too much. Anyway, I love this site and I know that it will really help me as I continue to build my baby!

Grrr, hit the wrong button. Let's try this again.

Welcome. I joined this site a little more than a week ago to ask some questions before purchasing a 318ti (I'll be picking her up tomorrow). I must say that so far everyone I've met here have been very nice and helpful. This seems like a much friendlier and more mature forum than some Xbox forums I'm a member of (maybe because we don't have to worry about a bunch of spoiled 13-15 year olds here?). Lots of information and helpful members when you have problems. I look forward to learning a lot over the coming months and hopefully being able to help others out when I can.

Welcome to the site! Great place and great members for the 318ti. Be forewarned that you shouldn't spend too much time on this site... you will catch the mod bug and spend $$$ on the ti. Just ask H3_2.1-ti!

A good size group down there at Texas forming. Now we just need to do the same up here in MA.
