I figure I should finally get around to introducing myself. I'm Matt and this is my 97' Talon.

[Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Around this time last year, I picked this baby up. Since then, I've thrown some good tires on and installed ECMLink V3 as well. Other than that, the car is bone stock. I've got a lot of plans for the car, but a students income doesn't go too far in the car world. It'll take a long time to get the car where I want it, but it'll be worth the wait.

I met Ghislain Goudreau last year through a long time friend that just so happened to live right next door to him. About a month later I met Jason Stacey at the Picton Armdrops where I missed a bunch of shifts and put up some horrible times rotflmao

Anyways, I hope to hold onto this car for a long time as I've always been a fan of the DSM and I look forward to being a part of the community.

I'd post pics of our cars at armdrop... but photobucket has become stupid. And that's the only way I could ever figure out how to post pics here.
