Ohh, you boys are sweet.
It's funny. I remember getting bitched at by Craig after the dyno day at LSE for being to shy. After that I made an effort to go the events and just relax, be myself, and have a good time. I've met so many people since then! It's nice because like Aaron said, they are very accepting. Even though the pick on me, we all still end up having a good time, and it's all good. Car related stuff is always fun but it's also nice to take a break from cars and just relax like normal people do! You know stuff like going to the strip club and walking around Sex World, normal stuff.
I strongly encourage everyone to get out and meet more people that you haven't met, whether its a n00b, a senior member, or someone in between! I personally have a ton of random friends from DSMStyle, some that have become best friends of mine! There's a lot of fun people on this website, and there's a big wide world out there that you can access from the interweb! I think everyone should at least try out going to Applebees. Thats always a good time, no matter who shows up!
