| Hey everyone! I'd just like to announce that I still exist, if you guys even remember me, I haven't really contributed much during my membership either. I joined this community a bit after it was created but quickly got caught up in working a lot so I just had no time for my rolla or this community. Then a few days ago I was looking through all my bookmarked pages that had to do the 86 and found you guys again! I recently cut back my hours at work so I could have more me time to relax and get back into my hobbies, graphic design and my AE86! And to start getting into some new hobbies, because of my graphic design and computer art background I am looking to start designing t-shirts! I have always had a passion for computer art so it is just a matter of time until I get some designs made up and some shirts printed. I could even get a shirt made up for 4ac powered and all of us! I also recently added a new Toyota to my arsenal. I bought a 2002 Toyota Sequoia SR5 in black. I bought it for only $8000 with only 60k miles on the clock which is a damn steal and a half. And it was all thanks to my girlfriend's father who sold it to me with a nice three grand discount off of the price they originally had it listed for on craigslist. They bought it brand new back in 2002 for $41k . I absolutely love this new truck, it's as strong as a tank, comfortable as hell, great for towing, and great for the winter with it's 4WD! One last little tid bit I would like to share about what I have been doing while I haven't been on the forums is this. Everyone has probably seen those commercials on TV with all the families talking about why they love their Toyota. Well in addition to that commercial Toyota did an internet ad campaign with the same idea, "Why do you love your Toyota. They created a Facebook page for people to follow, talk with each other, and tell their story about why they love their Toyota. They also posted ads on various websites including the official Toyota website, and on the ad were some pictures of people with their Toyotas. When people clicked on the ad it would bring them to the Toyota Facebook page. Here is the interesting and exciting part! The main picture that they chose for the Facebook page and their ads linking to the Facebook page is a picture of me with my AE86 taken by my girlfriend! The picture was on Flikr and we were contacted by a company named Satchi & Satchi who is the advertisement agency that works for Toyota. My girlfriend and I were each paid $500 in exchange for allowing Satchi & Satchi the use of our photo, this was not a contest of any type which makes it feel even more meaningful. Well anyways sorry for the long ass post, but I wanted to get back into the community and let you guys know what I have been up to. Here is a link to the picture of me and my car that was used in the Toyota ad campaign http://www.flickr.com/photos/t3ssawat3rs/3809632591/sizes/l/in/set-72157600935446500/ | |
