I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

how did your car obsession start?!

vent. relax. have fun. anything goes. off topic chit-chat.

Thanks man, that's pretty cool about the 17 and the 23, got pics?

I'm thinking of getting an Exige or something when I get out of the military. Who needs a car that's easy to get in and out of anyway :)
