Never got around to posting an introduction, so I figured I'd do it now.


My name is Erik, I'm 21 years old, and I'm from Abbeville, LA. I've lived in Louisiana all my life, born and raised in Baton Rouge. As far as occupation goes, I am an independent web developer and also do some diamond sales, carpentry, and a few other things on the side... I'm an entrepreneur I guess you could say, haha. I'm into cars (obviously), music, internet (thankfully I can say I am actually into my profession), and guns... If anyone in the area ever wants to go shooting, shoot me a PM... I've got a great spot to shoot.

I own a 1999 chrome yellow GT. It's an automatic, unfortunately, and is my daily driver. So far, it has a K&N, CAI, flowmaster 40s, MAC o/r X-pipe, ported & polished 70mm throttle body, ported & polished intake plenum, and will have a SCT Xcal2 tune 2 days from now My car is posessed and will randomly beep at me or turn on the windshield wipers... It has done this since it was new and the Ford dealership could never find the cause. Ah, well, it adds personality. I've always been a fan of Fords, even if they have given me many problems in the past (damn you faulty intake manifold, and denial for reimbursement!). I'm currently in the market for a 90-93 5.0 and am hoping to pick one up sometime in the near future.


Here's a picture of my car, and I'm sure the first thing you will notice is my heavy ass 40lb 20 inch rims. Some will feel betrayed that I would do this to a Mustang, but that's OK This picture was taken before I put halo/angel eye headlights, LED brake bar, and a different style of tail lights on (not the all clear euro ricer kind, I hate those... These are the ones). I'm sure many here won't like what I've done with my car, but I guess that's why mine is like that and yours isn't.




I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you guys (and gals) here, as far as I'm convinced this is the most informative Mustang forum which I have found.

Welcome to MM (16 days l8, but that's ur fault lol)...

we got a few web dev guys on here (including me)
i'm diggin the rims, but they sorta remind me of the dodge charger for some reason.. i'm not feelin those tail lights. overall looks great

well its 4:30am so I'm out
but be sure 2 check out the clubhouse and forum games.. that's where all the actions at lol

Yep 18 days late but better than never haha

Glad to hear there's some fellow web dev people on here. I've been teaching myself the trade since I was around 14 years old, and started actually working online for profit about 2 years ago, and it's the best job I could imagine... Working just a few hours per week and getting a nice check for it at the end of the month is addictive. Plus that leaves time for me to do other jobs on the side and 'double dip' haha. After getting my first AdSense check, I was hooked

Thanks for the compliment on the rims btw!

Oh, also, what are some of your sites if you don't mind? The first one I ever started with was http://www.RateMyPitbull.com, which is more of a hobby than anything, that one was never made with the intention of making any profits.

[MicronXD]

yea i saw that in ur profile, but u should ban my IP, cuz all i can give em r 10's lol i adore pitbulls

i haven't been on any project since i was like 13... 12 or 13... i was with a IPG (internet presentations group). they did site for non-profit companies... can't remember any names , but i do remember doing some school's science dep't flash intro, and some art museum or something... it was a while back... like flash 4 times lol

[MicronXD]

http://www.barnesfoundation.org/
that's the art one... i also did a Black Student Union one for the School i go to now (West Chester University) but they have since replaced it

I've never done any work for a third party that I can recall, what I focus on pretty much is just making websites on certain topics, then making revenues from ads on the sites (Google AdSense, Azoogle, etc.). I have around 45 domains right now, but probably only like 15 websites up... I'm a procrastinator lol

btw, I like the design of that site... very clean!

Here's a picture of the tail lights on the car, they look 10x better on the car (the LED brake bar is in this pic too)




Here's pics of the halo headlights:

10-4 on the procrastinating man... lol i'm horrible.... i have 4 final projects due next week and they've been assigned for about a month now, and haven't started any... but after i wake up this afternoon, i'm probably gonna get started lol

thanls for the compliments on the site

i had a site of my own a long while back..... breakwave.com.... supposed to be what bboy.org is today... unfortunately i was 12 when i made it and i was just learning PHP and MySQL, and i didn't have much drive to make anything out of it... so it died after the domain expired 2 yrs l8r lol
