Make PSILOCYBIN legal for TBI/PTSD/TRA&D
Hi.
I'm in the process of purchasing a 1987 FJ60 - she's due to be shipped the later part of next week. My first FJ60 purchase was - for lack of better wording - horrific. This one will be what I hoped the first to be (fingers crossed). So, I wanted to say hi to the community and I look forward to becoming a valued poster in the near future.
That (above) was my original intro post - extremely conservative, mellow, non-specific. As I'm closing on the 10 year mark, I look back and laugh at the naive nature of my thoughts, plans, build time and the like.
For the Toyota purists, my build will equate to blasphemy, literally. She's going to be an asphalt queen - and I'm building her as such. Yes, I'm interested in improving interior sound quality/comfort and better handling characteristics. My goal performance wise is simple - knowing what's under the hood has the potential to propel my beloved sled with heart stopping acceleration and anxiety provoking speed, and ultimately causing hysterical meltdowns to unsuspecting passengers.
My motto and one of the leading statements I made to Jason at Trail-Tailor was this: If you ever had a wild, unconventional, one-off idea for a project, present it and I'm more than likely to say 'HELL YES', let's build that mofo!
I'm also not shy - good and bad, so I apologize ahead of time if I offend you. Take comfort in that I do this both in face2face and internet arenas as I believe in equality. I'm not a polished, politically correct, ass kissing type of guy. But...I'm loyal, dedicated, take responsibility (good or bad) and a flat-out workaholic.
If any of you guys are ever in the New Orleans (NOLA) or Covington areas, PM me and if I'm not at my real job, I'll meet you and show you around a bit.
That's enough of an intro - or at least enough for me.

NEMESIS - Greek Goddess of Retribution & Indignation
Nemesis was the ancient Greek goddess of indignation against, and retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment aroused in men by those who commited crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune. Nemesis was depicted as a...
