Me and mine

[BLUEMEANIE]

Hello all!

I figured I should take a minute to introduce myself...

The name is Eric. I live in St.L with my dog (100lb Ridgeback/Pitbull mix), cat (13lb Tabby/Blue tortoise mix) and wife (110lb Irish/French mix). I won't tell you where I work but I'm an interaction designer for a large company which is directly connected to the auto industry. My background (entire life) is art, both fine and design based. On the side, for a few years while I was working as a professional photographer, I owned and operated a shop that specialized in building/restoring American muscle cars. As a result I've owned plethora of modified cars and motorcycles, both street and race, but for the past 18 years of licensed driving all my dailys have loyally been Toyota.
I admittedly have a habit (addiction) of disassembling, reassembling and ultimately modifying just about everything I get my hands on. ...the wife's V50 wagon is next on the chopping block. mmm... factory turbo+awd *insert diabolical lolz*

Other than that, I'm also an Admin over at Toyota Nation , a site which I have had the pleasure of not only shaping from the beginning but also calling home for almost ten years. Please feel free to contact me on either site via PM with any questions, concerns, comments or suggestions.


My current daily driver - 06 Supercharged tC.
(I'm not going to apologize for the quality of the first three, they were taken with various low mp fixed focus digi cams. I know some people only want hi-fi super slick lit dslr pics but I have a thing for over processed lo-fi photography, digi or film)

That's a beautiful ride, Eric! There's a lot of work and some big love right there....

[BLUEMEANIE]

Thanks man. Unfortunately it got vandalized earlier this evening by a bunch of ****tard kids throwing rocks from the roof of my sisters building nine floors up.

Amazing looking car eric!!! I would've chased after those kids. One time I was driving late at night when some kids egged my family's van. They were hiding in a small alley between houses. Extremely bad idea. I was in the van with 3 other friends. I made a u turn right away then drove around them to the back of the alley. They probably thought I didn't know where they were. I jump out of the van with a big metal bar and my buddies proceed to do the same. We chased after those kids around our neighborhood and scared them pretty good. Needless to say they never did that again and all without having to hurt them, just had to scare them straight.

[BLUEMEANIE]

Thanks man!

Yeah. They were lucky there was a city block, nine floors and three security doors between us.

That's so messed up!!! Any chance of catching the turds who did it?

[BLUEMEANIE]

No. Unfortunately. There are a couple hundred people living in the building, all of who have access to the roof. Most are ghetto as hell too and don't give a shit about their own property, never mind someone else's. ...and forget about them or their parents having a conscious and fessing up.

I love TC and i love this year of a TC not so much of corollas though... but dam those kids! i hate people who do that for the hell of doing so, dam young kids have no idea of personal ownership of things!

[TrailDust]

BLUEMEANIE takes pride in everything he owns. In fact, his camera collection makes me jealous enough to want to sneak over to his house and steal the whole lot.....
