i don't know....Alive:barely. Kicking: not really
mine is covered in about 87 inches of shop dust serving as a home to a family of mice probably and it also serves as a nice shelf.

Re: Who has influenced you on Neco?

Kinda surprised to see my name in here....thanks


For me....it was the original Chroma cougar (James) and Synergii (Susan) I wanted to see both cars so went to shows across the country to see them. Meeting them in person was cool to. The second wave was Raj (bassboy), Craig (streetconcepts), and Jimmy (jjennings. Gary (Gary) also ranked up there as well. I liked the second version of Geralds (Cateria) car. I remember when I first met Pierre (puckpuck) we talked about the cars that gave us the "bug" and he mentioned Raj as well.

I have to admit though, Rikenbomb had an influence on me. Since him and I were pretty much the only Spruce's at HCKC, I wanted to make sure I had a nice interior and clean engine bay to compete with him. I have to admit, that did have a factor.

Honestly, I think meeting the owners of the cars had more of an impact on me than the cars. People who had nice cars but a lousy attitude made me less interested in liking their car.

Hamill inspired me to buy a junkyard after I received his broken mirror at cougarfest

Re: Who has influenced you on Neco?

Hmmm... I think most of the people I used to talk to are no longer here on NECO...

I still stand by the fact that I had the coolest cougar manual transmission ever... at least one of the rarest...

I wonder if I've ever influenced anyone... I know I influenced a guy to kill himself... but that's a different story

Re: Who has influenced you on Neco?

first people that come to mind for me would be Wade, Frosty, and GMK. All of they're cars are very tastefully done.

Re: Who has influenced you on Neco?

Haven't done much to my car's exterior except for taillight covers, and who knows who's car I first saw them on....

So I can't say that a specific person has influenced me.....more like specific persons have corrupted me!
