You have to do the right kind of sailing...14 foot boats and 40 mile per hour winds are FUN...I usually am only REALLY loving it when it's blowing good, the spray is flying in my face and I'm on the verge of tipping over :) LTJJ, I sail on Lake Lewisville the most, we have a 22 ft. Catalina there and our sailing team sails there too. I've also sailed on Whiterock Lake (it's the devil...wind shifts are NUTS on that lake) a decent amount. I've sailed on Lake Ray Hubbard as well as sailing a good bit on Lake Grapevine :) I've always wanted to learn how to Windsurf and was either going to do that or buy a Vanguard 15 this summer, but alas...I'm now having to put this darn car together :)

hmm my hobbies keep changing. one poin it used to be sleeping eating and sitting around watching tv. now its riving around when its cold and windy out with my windows down and hmm my hobby used to b collecting hotwheels and car models and scale model building. i have atleast 130 cars lying around my room. hmm i like going out to kick it usually with a girl. hmm most of the time i like to just sit and relax sumwhere decent enuff. i like sneaking out at nite with a girl n just spending the nite at a park on a bench looking at stars and talking. hmm and i guess another hobby is being online at this website or at carandmodel.com. oh yea and smoking..its more like a bad habit but i wud call it a hobby since thats what i do when i have nuthing else to do.

K1LLA916K: Where did you get your body kit for the Integra? Are u using the Revell Kit? I saw one on the internet a while ago and it looked sweet. Bodykit, turbo, Intercooler and slotted and drilled rotors. I want to do a turbo version but with a JDM version typeR
