I feel like I am home now...

[legacycontinues]

After speaking my opinion I was banned from USMB and basically told to "F" off by the owner. after reading some of the posts on this board I feel I will be at home here.

Hopefully Legacy777 has no hard feelings and that we can co-exist in peace on this board. I really don't know what I would have done without him. Hey Josh...no more blinking power light since speedo piece installed.


A little about me"

28, Male, Livei in Hell (florida)

I drive a 1990 Subaru Legacy Wagon with 243K miles on original engine and tranny. Replaced the usual and the alternator.

I am about to buy an H2 but I am keeping the Legacy.

Yeesh. I used to be forced by gunpoint to work on those things. Not that you were asking for it, but in my oponion, nothing says "Im a big douchebag" like the H2.

Thanks, and welcome to the forums.

nothing says "Im a big douchebag" like the H2.

ha ha.

Well, I'm sure you'll be hauling your family around offroad and towing stuff, right? Going places and hauling stuff that a Subaru can't handle? Right?



I'm just kidding around. I don't really have anything against Hummers.

[BAC5.2]

What got you booted from USMB?

I'm with Kelly about the H2, but whatever floats your boat! You gotta drive it every day, not me

[petridish38]

Welcome!

Where in Florida are you located?

I have no hard feelings. I wasn't really supportive on banning you permanently, but was out voted.

As long as your polite to other board members, I don't really have any problems.

Glad to hear the blinking power light is gone. Told ya it was because the speedo

[legacy92ej22t]

Welcome, and I too would like to hear why you got bannedd over at the USMB.

[206er]

nothing says "Im a big douchebag" like the H2.

+1
but if you like them, its a free country I guess.
I didnt know USMB was so quick to ban people? seems like a pretty tolerant/peaceful forum to me.
welcome

Right on, welcome. As you've seen already your other vehicle probably won't get any love.

[tris91ricer]

I like the H2, but then again, I AM a big douchebag.
I've driven my boss' H2 ONCE and it was pretty spiffy. Total penis booster. I even got solicited my first time on the street in that thing. (but then again, I'm also very thexy.)
Welcome to our community, I think you may very well find yourself a niche here, so long as you're not making outlandish claims and you're respectful and tolerant, as we are. While we don't all agree with each other (that'd make us a cult.) we still respect each other's choices, about life, safey, and car-based aesthetics.
Get your post count up! Ask questions, contribute! Jump all the way in, and you too can be part of our family!

[legacycontinues]

I didn't figure the monster I call the H2 would get much love but it's cool. I like the way they look but I am not planning in doing any off-roading in it.

As far as USMB goes, I was the 7th person to ever be banned from their forum. It seems I pissed off a few people over there with my opinion. for most of you who belong to USMB or visit, know that they have a so-called "off-road" forum. In this forum there was a post for the best off-road picture. Some older Gen member posts a picture of his lifted, knobby tired, 4WD, cow pusher grill, safari racked assualt vehicle on a dirt road in moab and everyone goes nuts about it. That got my goose. So I posted a picture of my BONE STOCK legacy wagon on a GORGEOUS trail in Estes Park, CO along with the story of how it got there. Keep in mind I had my wife and two kids in the car at the time to boot. I wasn't wheelin with the guys or anything close to that. I didn't pack a shovel, or boards or a winch...or even a tow strap for that matter. Just me and the family exploring a trail that a local told me about. This would be the same local that said I would need something bigger than my CAR to get me up this trail which was rated a "4" in some book he mentioned. I had been on some 2's that were prety sick so I thought the 4 would give me a run for my money. It was cake!

Back to the point... which I was trying to get across on USMB, was that off-roading is about working with what you have to take it to the extreme. I could have went home and got the lifted and locked XJ but I wanted to make do with what I had and push it to the envelope. Some people I guess do not know the tru meaning of wheelin. It's about the feeling you get when you go where most can't go. Any CAR can drive down a dirt road. Any lifted 4WD car can go down a rock laden off camber road. I took my STOCK AWD 230K mile wagon up a rock laden, off camber road to get where I was at and I was even chased by a bear after taking a picture of my vehile on a sweet hill. Anybody can drive their lifted car into a massive mudhole and get stuck.....but the real off-roader knows when to say no, knows how to manipulate the puddle so that he gets thru with his pride and a running vehicle. When I was younger the whole "If you go fast enough you can get thru anything" method worked...Untill I did that one time and there was a tree stump in the middle of that mud hole that stopped me dead in my tracks and about killed my passenger.

Off-roading in it's purest form is technical. It takes thought and precision.

And on a final note...SUBLIME RULES!!!

I had damn near 1,000 posts when Shawn kicked my happy ass off. I begged and pleeded but nada. say hello to my little friend.....My dynamic IP address.

so what did you actually get banned for? posting your stock car in a off road forum? or flaming the off road people? I sort of agree with you, its better to challenge yourself with a lesser vehicle than walk through it in something super built.
oh and dont you mean the grateful dead rules?

[legacycontinues]

I was banned for pissing off a moderator. He didn't like that I challenged his forum and the members in it. I never made any remarks towards any member.

I guess they got really mad when I posted my own off-road picture and offered cold, hard cash as a reward to the winner. It was sweet because some people sent in some great pictures too.

[evolutionmovement]

They sound very sensitive. [Homer] Pfft! Baby. [/Homer]

[legacycontinues]

It was like the moderators (except Legacy777) were given badges and it went to their heads. And they are crooked!

They are so high strung over there. Cussing is unheard of. I do not condone it but I am not going to go out of my way to sensor you.

I won't buy an H2 if someone can find me an F-650 Pick-up conversion for under $40K or a lifted F-350 (00-05) with the semi tire conversion for under $30K. Must be Desiel, turbocharged and a crew cab with low miles.

[legacycontinues]

They Deleted all my posts..well atleast the ones in the off-road forum.

Thanks Mike for looking.

[BAC5.2]

What's the Semi Tire conversion?

You should post the picture!

I can't get on USMB or I would show you the pictures.

Maybe Josh will post a link so you can see the picture of the off-road monster killing that graded dirt road.
