Not new, but had to come back.
This is the previous owner of a solara "woa_its_j3ff" checking in.
I used to be a part of this site but I was gone for many months due to my grandma being sick over the summer, and later suffering a stroke. My mom and I flew back to Taiwan and I was there for quite a while. I had to stop school since family came first. My mom then got laid off from work due to being "overpaid". I then had to take on the task of working 3 jobs and still going to school full time.
I've been in touch with GrkAvalon for quite some time and my solara has since then been parted out locally. I no longer drive the solara due to it's high mileage, leaking headgasket, and the need for something new. I also got engaged on November 1, 2008, and am getting married April of '10.
I wanted to apologize first directly to SleeperSolara and JakeC for not being in touch for the longest time. No excuses, my phone was dropped in a sink at friend's house and I lost all my numbers, I only could salvage numbers that I had saved on my simcard, which was only family members in general. If you both could, please PM me your numbers again so I can get in direct touch with you.
I also want to thank the SG community for inspiring me to make it thus far with my previous car, it wasn't my first car, but it was different. I got plenty of negative reviews of it, as well as positive, the growth of the car made me grow as a person as well. I miss the SG community very much since I am a die-hard Toyota/Lexus owner. You guys are different, from many other forums - but that's a great thing. You guys are knowledgeable, insightful, and sometimes even a bit tough, however you are all as I remember, a great group of people.
To finish parting out the car, I only have my trd lip kit up for sale which I have posted in the for sale. Everything else has been off limits (cpe intake, rsb, suspension, exhaust) to others who long ago called dibs and/or already purchased.
Since then I got in a car accident on April 30 (day before my birthday) where my fiancee and I were slammed into by complete surprise. The car comes out of the body shop by today or tomorrow, and hopefully shall see better days, luckily her nor I were hurt.
It's great to see the SG community is still growing and that there are still a few OG's left on here. Hope you all don't scare all the noobs away?
I've been handling a lot of stuff lately with family especially, and insurance issues from the accident, but hopefully within a short time all this stuff will be taken care of. I just wanted to post up on here to let some of you know that I haven't forgotten about you.
Thank you SolaraGuy, for some great memories.
