Oh GARY! Hi!

I'm the uh... girl owner... with the Suzuka. I think you spoke at length with my ex one evening. Comptech SC? Sorry if I am getting you mixed up with someone else. ^^

At any rate, see ya tonight~!
Hiya,

I'm not sure. I'm the guy with the silver late model NSX which does have a CT SC... Richard originally invited me to join this forum but I haven't really bothered to post here until now. But since last Friday, I've decided to start checking here to avoid being the only one who showed...

Also, is a Suzuka something like a jeep?

New to this forum (well sorta of), old to the Friday meets... NSX-Tuner (aka gary)

I had originally signed up to this forum last summer under a different name but I forgot it. So this is my very first post here under either name.
Hi Gary. We'll see you later tonight

yup~

It's like ... people pronounce "Wang" with a long "a" sound (like "way").

But it really sounds like "Wong" (like the "o" in "top")

So even though it's spelled Hung, it sounds like Hong. ^^
cantonese is wong
taiwanese and mandarin is wang

I know this because @l'm a 'wong.'

that was so confusing to me in Mandarin class... no wonder I can't learn Chinese. Spelled differently but sounds the same argh.

and inflections are impossible for me to grasp
