    What is the significance of going with a white top/black bottom paint scheme? I wanted to do something different. Panda's are all over the place! Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I wanted to switch it up. After I found out the "Polar Bear" was originally silver, I nicknamed her the "Poser Bear." After this, the white top/black bottom just made sense.

    What are your goals for the car? 10's on street tires is an immediate goal! Long term goals have yet to be set. I don't want to place any limitations on the car.

    What's your favorite thing about your car? I would have to say it's the cold air intake I built for it here recently.

    When people see your ride what do you want them to say? I would love to take that car down the track!

    How long have you owned the car? August 2009.

    Anything unique about the car? My seat is almost where the back seat used to be. lol

    What kind of tuning style do you prefer in the future? Whatever gets the job done!

    Who helped you build this car? Very few people have actually wrenched on this car, but tons have helped out! With out great friends, it wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today. Special thanks goes out to Chris Keagy(lilredeclipse), Charles Hensley(boostjunki84), Robert Morris(Robertm1212GSX), Mike Reed, Ryan Tarlton, Ian @ Appalachian, and Mike the MAD-man Ellis(JAXWHITE1G).

    Who inspired the direction of modifications on this car? I find inspiration all over the place. People! God! Cars! Inspiration is all around us if we choose to take notice.

    What don't you like about the car? I don't like the fact that every time I go to the track, I feel like my transmission is going to blow up!!

    On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with the outcome of the car? As it sits now, I'd have to say 7. It's on the right track but it's not where I want it to be.

    Where is your favorite place to drive the car? 1320

    If you had to name the car what would you name it? Poser Bear

    What was your previous project? 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

    What is going to be your next project? That's going to be a surprise!

    What one word best describes your car? Greedy.

    Since the new site update, I am curious...how do you all like it? Noticed anything wrong? Enjoy it better than the old once yall got used to it? Let me know by commenting below!

    (Also, I wanna see how many people actually look at news on the front page)

    I still do have kind of a to-do list that I am very slowly working on that being (as I remember them):
    • Get new logo up top that Tarry was amazing enough to do. <--DONE!
    • Fix the smilies <--DONE!
    • Clean up some css from designing this new style in about a half hour
    • Make the site more friendly for the phones.
    If you do have a suggestion as well, please...by all means, let me know about it.

    Thanks!

    What is it about carbon fiber that makes it appealing to you and GSeX? Carbon fiber is a great upgrade for someone to lose weight off the car which can definitely help overall. It also looks very nice and classy. I've seen many people get jealous over the carbon fiber hatch and wing combination. The carbon fiber is one of the top things I get compliments on the car most.

    What are your goals for the car? I would like to have more room to play with my fuel so bigger injectors would be in the future. I would like to later on add methanol injection. Also, I'd like to get some carbon fiber fenders, and dial in the tune as best as possible.

    What's your favorite thing about your car? The fact that I took the car from 99% stock and turned it into what it is today.

    When people see your ride what do you want them to say? We don't want to mess with him.

    How long have you owned the car? I bought the car January 26th, 2008.

    Anything unique about the car? I wouldn't say unique but rare things would be the EVOIII motor, the carbon fiber, and intake ducting.

    What kind of tuning style do you prefer in the future? I like to have a very aggressive tune that can retain decent gas mileage and smooth idle.

    Who helped you build this car? Until recently when Yucki Racing did the EVOIII motor swap, myself.

    Who inspired the direction of modifications on this car? I would do my own research on what to do then ask the people I knew at the time what their opinion was. There's a lot to name.

    What don't you like about the car? A/C would be nice in the hot weather, but I don't complain.

    On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with the outcome of the car? 9 because I still have a few goals.

    Where is your favorite place to drive the car? The Tail of the Dragon is definitely fun to take on when you don't have slow people in front of you.

    If you had to name the car what would you name it? Already named, GSeX.

    What was your previous project? 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS Turbo

    What is going to be your next project? My 1991 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Panda

    What one word best describes your car? Hawt.
