Because of RME....

[Greg]

Share your story, because of RME... Good, Bad or Indifferent. How has this place influenced your life?

 

[Greg]

Because of RME, I have a great career and it's been nearly 20 years since I got the job, posted on here by another member. Planning to make it a job I retire from... only 12 more years to go!

All but 1 of my current REAL LIFE friends are from RME. No doubt it has changed my life. Good or bad will be decided later.


But also:
-My desire to desert race was before RME, but happened because of RME.
-My desire to explore was before RME, but was amplified and enabled significantly more from RME.

Because of RME, I own 5 acres of standing firewood next to another RME member’s 22 acres of standing firewood.

 

[Thursty]

Because of RME my meme library has exploded and my morals have sharply decreased. 😂

But seriously, because of RME I have a stronger desire to explore and learn about the area where I live. The energy it takes to do this has greatly increased. I also have a much healthier outlook on life in general. Just glad to be here.

Everyone at my house knows RME as the Jeep Club. Most of the stories I tell my wife start out as, “my friend in the Jeep Club posted….”. There’s a good chance I’ve never met that particular friend. Outside of my immediate family I don’t really have friends. So because of RME, I have some friends.

Yeah, I'm a social media/forum hermit, but I feel semi-comfortable here. I've posted a couple short lived projects, and I enjoy the membership. Thanks for the inclusion and I'll try to do better moving forward.

Like wise on friends. From my very first memorial run, I meet Stan Fuller and Greg and others. I have learned a lot and wheeled a lot and met so many good people. Likewise, if it wasn't for off-roading and this fourm I would have very few friends.

Because of RME I have a lot less money in my bank account. Over the last 22 years I've bought and sold literally more vehicles than I can count to and from members. But with most of those vehicles I've been on more adventures than I can remember. I've met lots of good friends and have lost touch with a number as well. Some of the best times in my life were hanging out with pals from this place. I've explored more of Utah than I probably ever would have, and am hoping to spread that adventure more. My 18 years of .gov (I actually signed up for the forum on stolen internet while deployed ) and po-lice service have made me an untrusting social hermit, but I feel good around the group of guys (and few gals) that gather in these parts. I look forward to 22 more years of adventures with you meme posting clowns and 100's more vehicles. Money well spent....

I thought for sure I’d get called out for developing your fleet this year. 😂

I have grown in ways I cannot quantify because of friends and skills I've picked up from RME. This place has changed me, mostly for the better, and I cannot imagine a greater group of folks to be associated with.

 

[N-Smooth]

Well I mean I’ve met a bunch of cool people that became longtime friends and made some amazing memories.

Even comp memories alone with @Agility Customs, @Coco, @STAG and Troy (can’t find the rock taco screen name ) all carpooling down to Farmington. Those are memories I’ll look back on fondly and laugh about, like forever.

Also met @kmboren through RME and he’s worth mentioning cause we’re bros. He didn’t mention me but it’s whatever… 🤣

Freak this post could go on forever since I’ve been on here for 20 years but I’ll stop now.

Best story to come out of this place, hands down! I never thought of RME as a dating community, but it sure worked out well for your family!

 

[anderson750]

Because of RME, I have a lot of web friends who I have never met......plus some I have and corrupted into the world of motorcycle racing.

 

[Houndoc]

Like most posts, its the people- many of whom I have met in person as well as on line chats. It is a fun little break in my day!

Sorry to burst your bubble sir, you're just the latest in a long line of RME'ers to influence vehicle choices in my life. But you can influence more adventures, however some may involve moist dirt.

 

[02SE]

Because of RME, I'm really trying not to post the best Meme's, that would probably get me banned...

 

[TurboMinivan]

If it weren't for RME, I would not be leading Elephant Hill at EJS (nor would I be staying with Big Sarge, @mbryson and @Maverick while I am there).

 

[BlackSheep]

Some of the OGs taught me to wheel the original BlackSheep. I’ve learned a lot about fabrication and am trying to put some of that knowledge to use in building my Bar-B van.
