About Me

CERTIFIED 1337

Hey there! Welcome to my awesome 2002-style profile page. I'm a 90s kid who loves all things retro, cars, and technology. I created this page to share my thoughts, experiences, and passions with the world wide web.

When I'm not working on my car or playing video games, you can find me tweaking this website to perfection. This page was last updated on October 15, 2002 and is best viewed with Netscape Navigator at 800x600 resolution.

My Experiences

MEMORY LANE

Street Racing Express

Street Racing Express was the first racing game I ever created. I spent a lot of time working on it during the summer, and it became a personal challenge that I completed in about a week. It was a fun and rewarding project where I pushed myself to learn and improve as a developer.

Car Meets & Cruises

One of the best parts about Street Racing Express was the car meets I used to host with my friends. We'd gather in-game, show off our rides, and just hang out. It always got wild, especially when the police showed up trying to shut us down and arrest everyone. It felt like a real street racing scene and made the game unforgettable.

Street Legends Journal

10/1/2002: Installed a new performance garage setup in my backyard. Now I have proper space to work on the Mustang and store all my tools. The neighbors are already complaining about the noise - mission accomplished!

9/15/2002: Took the Mustang to the local drag strip. Ran a 13.8 @ 104mph on street tires. Not bad for a basically stock GT. Next goal is to break into the 12s with some bolt-ons.

8/22/2002: Finally installed the short throw shifter. The throws are so much crisper now. Did a late-night cruise with the crew down by the waterfront. The exhaust echoes off the buildings perfectly.
