And so my tale of not so special proportions begins...

[Leon]

Hey everyone..as one tale ends another begins, and in this case it starts with UdubBadger's last ride in the ZHP. (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?6069-UdubBadger-s-Magical-Modding-Tour-A-journal-of-quot-not-so-special-quot-proportions&p=264003#post264003) I'll make my own project thread to track my progress (if there is anything these guys left for me :) ) but for now it starts with quick BIO.. gotta get some sleep before my flight out.

32M
Arlington, VA
Cyber Security, Civilian w/ the USG. I work on a Military base like I believe Dane does.
4 kids (don't worry I won't be yucking up the zhp with the young ones)
Cars, I've owned many but my modding experience is limited to 02 WRX, 06 STi. I've had more motorcycles than cars but the only one left is a Ducati Monster S2R Dark.

I'd love to make the VA meet but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, but I'm really excited to join this community. One of the things I told Mark in my request to join was that I felt like my ZHP was community maintained at least in a matter of speaking.. and I'd like to thank Eli and Seth for taking such good care of the ZHP for me!

Off to Chicago at 0830.

I'm actually kind of happy the car is staying in the family so I can still continue to track it's progress.

You seem like you'll be taking good care of her, Good luck!

Welcome. Glad to hear my old car went to yet another enthusiast.

[UdubBadger]

C'mon Eli, I made you a promise didn't I? ;)

Glad to have you on board Leon, was great meeting you and though I shed a tear as I walked away from the car for the last time this morning I'm glad I'll be able to see and hear about her adventures out East.

Safe travels and you know where to find me if you need me for anything.



Oh and I think we need to just go ahead and make this your avatar as you are the only real life Leon Phelps I have ever met.

[Avetiso]

Glad you made it home safe. How did you enjoy the drive the in the ZHP?

[BavarianZHP]

didn't want the wife to drive

Spoken like a true selfish ZHP lover! :thumbup

You have any immediate plans (driving, modding, etc...) for the car?

[UdubBadger]

Lol... There isn't too much left to mod ;)

true you guys have robbed me of mots of that lol.. I'm sure I'll think of something but first things first gotta get her licensed up.. Oh quick note.. So in VA you can purchase a 3 day trip permit to transport a vehicle from one state to VA. I paid for it online it and printed at home.. and the instructions were to stick it to back of my window.. which I did.. Now I never got pulled over in the ~13hour trip... but I was worried the entire time.. I almost wish I did get pulled over so I could confirm that this worked ok with the various Law Enforcement entities.

[Hermes]

Congrats on the great car you just bought, and welcome!

[E_Rak]

Congrats on the purchase! I'm really happy the car stayed in the family, it's pretty special to have the previous owners still active around here as well. :wub Good luck!

[UdubBadger]

These are legit. In CA they are called "One-Way Trip Permits." They are only purchasable by dealers, but dealers can resell them to whoever they want. They only last for one day here. I would carry proof of ownership whenever using such a permit.

welcome

Leon how did it feel on the way home?

Wonderful. Work got crazy when I got back so I haven't even been to the DMV. I'm hoping today is the day.
