    My fiance always thinks Im looking at porn when I'm fiaxed on the TJJ app. I have to show her "Look this guy is helping me design my suspension so I dont kill the whole family when the roadster hits a pothole". "Oh" she says...
    I love being able to teach and learn on here. Everyone has their expertise!
    Sometimes I get frustrated by a small percentage of the members, but I have to remind myself; there is like 150K members on here, there is bound to be a few window lickers in the bunch.

    It is more like an extended family, sometimes a VERY dysfunctional one, but still.I have met so many friends on here and learn new things every day.

    I have found this place to be very friendly, only bashing I ever had was from a new guy with three posts.

    I already Love this place...... people don't seem to be too hard on "noobs" and I have learned by reading, a hundred "right ways" to do just about everything.... and have actually changed my way of thinking on some things.
    I am a Tattooer by trade, and have belonged to a forum for over 10 years that is owned by a WELL respected Tattooer, and the tattoo "elite" run the place, guys I looked up to 20 years ago.......THEY are hard on noobs..... I don't recall ever seeing the words "go cut your fucking thumbs off, you douchebag hack" on the H.A.M.B. .... but I have seen MANY posts similar on that forum haha.
    I thank all of you for the WEALTH of knowledge you share freely, that would take more than a lifetime to aquire on my own.

    Believe it or not GERM was the one that convinced me that the HAMB was my home and that I needed to do an intro and everything would be fine. He was a pal from a cough streetrod cough site. :eek:

    Hey, that would be a GREAT title for the FNG........."fluffer" :D :D :D

    I wonder if I could convince Ryan??? :rolleyes:

    Hambing: V. The act of surfing the HAMB on the iphone app. Often used when having to wait on the wife doing some kind of shoping you don't want to. I.E. Wife " Sorry hun I'll be just a few more minutes (______) (something lame) , Husbands responce "It's okay, I'll be in that chair over there Hambing."

    I've met some GOOD People on here, Ricard D, (yess NAtty boy himself...) and Sam Navarro.

    and I have learned good taste in cars.

    Harshest place for noobs hands down is Pirate (4x4 web site.. ) this place is play land compared to that site. (been on pirate since 01. )

    The HAMB. It's the greatest source of meat-and-potatoes automotive knowledge that I've ever seen, and obviously the Mecca of rodding and kustoms for the people that get things done THEMSELVES. Blood, sweat and tears. The HAMB is fragile. It has to be tended to night and day to keep it pure. It's like Austin, TX. Everyone loves it but if you want keep Austin weird you have to keep the Johnny Dallases and L.A. Dumbfaces out of it. Ya know? The HAMB has tight security as riff raff is kept to a minimum. Even I have broken the rules and asked off-topic, yet still automotive related questions (due to the fact that everyone everywhere else is a fucking idiot and when BOOB needs an answer he needs it fast and it needs to be correct) but I was quickly reminded that this is THE HAMB GODDAMMIT, TAKE THAT DUMB SHIT TO AUTO ZONE! I was punched in the face, warned, and forgiven. I trust my fellow HAMBers as they trust me. We have a lot of fun on The HAMB. But don't cross the line. The HAMB is to be respected. Ryan will not hesitate to lay the pimp hand down the very second a buster ass jive turkey disrespects The HAMB. And I've got his back. Be warned, rumor has it that said "pimp hand" has been extended nation wide through the use of a group of reckless minibikers that anxiously await their next orders. It's just a rumor though, I can't be certain. The HAMB. Pimps up, hoes down. Blood in, blood out. Keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden, dig it. Balls to the wall. Hammer down. DRIVE IT, and drive it like you stole it from D.W., that'll put a fire under your ass for SURE!
