Default hello from Alaska

Hey guys, I just picked up an 05 enthusiast Z a couple of weeks ago. It needs a little work but I'm willing to do it. Currently in the Army, 11B, just got back from Afghanistan. A little bit of my history I used to play paintball, then I got into cars, left modding cars to play paintball again, now i'm back to this. I can't find a happy medium. Anyway, Silver 05 enthusiast Z, 80k miles second owner, came from Washington. It's autostick, (I hate it, but it was all I could get at the time). I love the car though, and I have the means to do decent things with it. So hello everyone and don't worry my flame suit is on, that being said, let the flaming begin.

^Yes. My podiatrist suggested I now go with 11W, for comfort.

No, its actually his Army MOS. Infantry.
