Previa_fun posted:this blew my mind at the time. Man, Adiabatic was a good mod. His "don't post about politics" bugged me at the time but if only I had known how insufferable the forums would become with politics in loving everything. Dude was right. The politics on SA is why I completely forgot about this place for a few years, I still mostly lurk with I think about 1.5 post average per year for the last 4-5 years. He tried his best, but SA posters just couldn’t listen… I think that’s why I only usually frequent the SA marketplace since it’s the only place free of that other BS.

Arson Daily posted:back in the day minivanmegafun's avatar (the grill to a 3rd gen plymouth voyager) would make me cringe because, having been handed down one in college from my mom, it was the lamest vehicle a college age person could own. Now, seeing it, I'm filled with nostalgia for all of the good times I had in that hunk of junk and how it never left me stranded even with over 200k on the clock. 3 liter mitsu motor and 3 speed transmission was an unkillable combination in those vans, even if the motor drank a quart of NAPA's finest every tank of gas. I drove a green one. It was great. Didn't have that oil problem, just kept on trucking. I'm nostalgic about it but emphatically do not want it back.

It unfortunately had the 3.3L V6+four speed torqueflite, which is an absolute basketcase of a transmission. Didn't I meet you at LSPR? I could have swore you made it to Sno* Drift in one of your vans too.

Trying to meet up with him while I’m in Japan but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. So here’s a Sprinter Trueno I found, they’re everywhere here! Also there’s some trash rear end Ferrari in the background.

meatpimp posted:I was just looking at an old thread and saw a post from Boomerjinx. That was a great ride through his arc. A lot of people gave that guy such a hard time, but I always saw it as a young man struggling to find his way - I always liked him and kept in touch with him. I was in Co for business with a friend/business partner around 2012/3 (the exact date escapes me) but I hit him up just to get some insider info about Denver - He wound up entertaining and chauffeuring my friend and I for almost a week straight, taking us to cool historic places that were off the beaten path, meeting his friends with cool collections of all types and just generally being a stand up dude. He also introduced me to a whole group of friends that I keep to this day, here in LA that I would have never met if it wasn't for him. He also came to LA when the shuttle landed at LAX - we had an equally as fun time getting to reciprocate his generosity. He disappeared shortly after that and I've heard some truly heart wrenching stories of what transpired with him. I don't think anyone truly knows what happened to him because of the wild variations on the stories i've gotten. What I do know is that I was friends with one of his close personal friends on facebook, a few years ago I asked what was up with him and I was instantly blocked. I was very happy being adjacent to all these groups be it movie props/cars, cosplay or comicon poo poo, and while I followed those stories, I just knew him as a friendly guy that went way far out of his way to make sure some random strangers had a great time in his city. I feel like him being a internet micro-celebrity before the term was invented was a bit too much for him. I hope he resurfaces some day and has worked past whatever issues he had, because at his core he was a decent human and I really enjoyed talking with him

Yeah I never got the Boomerjinks hate. He was effusive about his dumb cars but otherwise seemed harmless. I guess he had the bad fortune of making posts before the inherent benefits of having 30% of the country who decided being deplorable was a badge of honor set out to prove their bona fides all day, everyday, everywhere as comparison made even the worst posts here seem mostly okay.

His behavior towards that poor woman who worked for Telltale Games was pretty appalling. Especially since he was the one who was ultimately responsible for the damage his jeep took.

Yeah the whole thing with the JP Jeep and the wrong car cover is what got people so upset. It was his fault but he tried to get everyone to go after the woman with cancer at Telltale.

That's what the thread got retitled to after the other side of the story came out. Here's where Boomerjinks' story begins to fall apart. And here's where it got really bad for him.

The only thing I remember about Boomerjinks was his movie cars and just being a lovely poster in general. I seem to remember most of AI turning on him for some reason for saying something stupid or something and then he just disappeared.

aventari posted:Just found this old pic of DJ Commies flipped race car Yep. I'm glad he was uninjured, it was not filmed but supposedly was an incredible multi-direction roll. It has lived on somewhat: Another driver has the wing, I have the cage and some parts, engine has been in my Daihatsu Rocky and still works fine with about 8k normal daily driven miles and is a test bed for a turbo kit.

I got those 16x7 Team Dynamics wheels and ran them on my E30 for a long time until they got all bent up even more than when I got them in the first place and sold them on.

There were a few flipped goon cars in the old LeMons days. The first few years of those races were pretty wild.

Mr. Apollo posted:I was thinking about that post the other day and was wondering what happened to him. Apparently he had a stroke so he's in rehab therapy now. I met him once, and I can vouch for him being an absolute wild man. He about killed me showing me his demo derby cars, where we were under the hood and he fired it up and revved the gently caress out of the motor... that had an exhaust consisting of 8 pipes going straight up from the cylinder head... fire and noise like I've seldom seen, especially from 2' away.

When I clicked on their profile, their last activity was all in the 2004 - 2006 range. I didn't think it had been almost 20 years since I last saw them post. It's crazy. So many lost friends, so many crazy stories. That's why I made this thread! We've even had a few old-timers chime in. Love you all!

I dunno if this is quite the right thread, but the Dutch buyer of my 348 still has the car, and linked me to an ad campaign from a clothing brand using the car! https://www.instagram.com/p/CwuUt4jo3Up Nice longer video (that I can't find on YT yet) showing the 348 and other nice vehicles: https://cdn.shopify.com/videos/c/o/v/0cef60dc5454463b82349cf0d00e38a2.webm Some shots he got of the car on the slopes     Glad the car is out there living its best life.
