Help! I need something to look at!!!
My friends...I've suffered a pretty bad back injury at work. Since last Friday I've been bedridden and it looks like I may be staying that way for a while. At least the drugs I've been given are superb. My career as I've known it could be over, though it's still pretty early to tell. More MRIs and junk to come. I may even need to find a nice (gasp) Tiptronic.
I believe at this point I have surfed the entire web. Yup, I think I've completed it. I've looked at every Porsche on ebay, every car on SixSpeed, all the cool garages on GarageJournal, UltimateGarages, etc, etc. How 'bout helping a brother out and posting some new pictures of your rides and stuff for me. As you probably know, my interests are cars, cars, dogs, cars, garages, half naked women near cars and cars. Also, if you know of any good exotic car sites like SixSpeed that I may have overlooked, please let me know.
Have at it...

I hope your back gets better.
So are you finally gonna tell us what you do for your career? At least tell us what happened at work.(If you don't mind)
Autospies is pretty neat. Is there anything in particular that your looking for? Ferraris? Boxsters? Pintos?

Hi Grizzly, sorry to hear about your back injury, be sure to get some good thearpy when the time is right. You are probably on top of this, but dont just let the docs start cutting on your back, which they enjoy doing for lots of back injuries. I had a back injury that was pretty bad for over a year, and they eventually did surgery on my low back, which in retrospect, I think I could have avoided with proper thearpy. Best of luck,
Ed

Griz,
So sorry to hear about your back 
But, I think I can help :
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/
This is the only other forum I visit besides here. One of the guys in here posted a thread about the Tail of the Dragon long ago, and I have been checking it out ever since ( never posted though ). Cars and half naked women - you can't beat it ( make sure to check out the "Other Off Topic" section ). A lot of traffic, too !
Good luck, buddy...
Nick

Griz,
Sorry man. Difficult times. I trashed my back 20 years ago getting off a motorcycle the hard way. Nothing worse than lying around waiting to see what will happen. As you said, at least the drugs are good. My prayers are with you. Keep the faith.
Learn as much as you can about your condition and as others have said... once healed, therapy and exercise are the keys to recovery.
Here is a website for the local LA car scene. Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, chicks, the usual stuff. Enjoy. http://www.pcars.us/index.php

Well, I think it's time the truth finally comes out 
Griz is a Chippendale's dancer ! Hence his profile :
Occupation: "Can't tell you, but trust me, you don't ever want to come in contact with me when I'm working."
I begged him not to dance for this lady, but he insisted ! That's when things got really nasty. She wanted to give him a lapdance, and the back injury shortly followed...
Sorry to blow your cover, Griz, but I felt it was time 
Nick

It hurts when I laugh. Nick, you just set my recovery back by at least a week.

Lets play the "what does Grizzly do for a living game"
Lets look at the clues...
He states that we dont want to be near him while he is working.
If anyone else has any clues post them, together we can solv the mystery and entertain a buddy.
I am going to say he works for Roter Rooter
