Since August 1st, 2003 I have been a proud member of 2GNT due to meeting one of the most educated and well rounded Eclipse enthusiast I have met to this day, Matt Duncan (XtremeRS). A year or so prior to that date, I was already the proud owner of a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. It wasent until a local gathering on a summer evening that I met Matt and his clean, low stanse sleeper. I immediately began to ask him many questions to which he patiently answered. The one thing that stood out the most was that he told me the car was equiped with a after market turbo kit. Until this time, I didn't know that was even possible! That same evening I asked if he could take me for a quick ride in it. I must say, the second I heard the whistle of the spool, the BOV after shifting and the instant power that could be felt, I was hooked! The rest is history! Witin a month, I placed my order w/ Hahn Racecraft. Since I was not very wise w/ the mechanic portion of the vehicle, Matt kindly installed my turbo over a three day weekend. It's been a little over 8 years now, and I am sad to say that I have departed w/ my RS-T.

Approx. three months ago she sold for a little over 3k. That included damage to the rear quarter panel from being hit, a falling headliner and a failed external fuel pump. Other than that, she was an absolute beauty. The purchaser agreed w/ me and looked as excited as I did the first day I layed eyes on it! He even called me a few days later saying he fixed all things that were wrong w/ it! I was glad to not only hear that it went to a great home, but it was far enough away from my hometown that I am sure to never see it again. That helps as I can't imagine another person driving it.

Since I sold her, I have been in the market for an entry level BMW or Mercedes as I wanted to step into something w/ a little more luxury then the eclipse. I had my options boiled down to a BMW 330XI or a Mercedes C230 Kompressor. However, fate jumped in and guided me down a different path! I instantly fell in love w/ a BMW 323Ci.

As of Wednesday, January 05, 2011 I am the proud owner of a BMW 323Ci. After many visits to the local BMW Dealership and plenty of patience, questions and research, I finally made my purchase. I am extremly satisfied w/ my choice and am looking forward to summer. I have not had much of a chance to get to know the vehicle or it's capabilities due to this winter weather. However, I have plenty of time for that. Until then, I have included photos below!

2GNT.COM is still my forum home. I will not leave it. Although I have not met most of you in person, this place is still my comfort zone. There is NO other forum like this one. So, if you guys dont mind, I am here to stay! 2GNT or not!
