Mostly it was just beautiful. The black paint was accented by neon green accentson the wheels and Ricky's signature on the sides. The colors, he says, "make the car hop".
Carmichael was there to show it off earlier this week before the opening of the SEMA aftermarket auto parts trade show in Las Vegas. The subcompact is one of 20 Sonics that were all customized to varying degrees in hopes of inspiring others to try their own designs.
Carmichael is the 15-time American Motorcyle Association (AMA) champion, three-time X-Games gold medalist and now a NASCAR racer, driving a Chevy Silverado. His NASCAR truck, No. 4, is emblazoned in the seats along with the Fox log, one of his sponsors.
Thank you. That is one of the nicest compliments that I have ever received on this Blog. Doubly so, because it comes from another sniper. It is hard to set aside the time to try and write something meaningful. There are so many other "priorities' that writing a blog entry can slip down the list. Live goes on for awhile, and then I will read bit of advice on the Net written by some player who, may actually be a real experienced run-and-gun paintball player, but who just as clearly doesn't know spit about playing a sniper position. This so-called expert is only too happy to tell anyone who will listen all about how the "only" way to play sniper, including some bogus suggestion on what gear that player should be carrying. Often, there is a price tag tucked deeply into the advice for some type of specialized gear or a book. The "guidance" in the article is usually so bad that makes me angry and a bit frustrated. So frustrated in fact, that I can't get the idea out of my head that someone just getting started as sniper will follow that advice and waste a lot of time and money. Worse yet, that same player might just eventually give up the idea of playing sniper because what they are doing just doesn't seem to be working even though they followed the Internet advice right to the letter. That's when I sit down to write. Now that I am retired, I have much more time and I hope to be a lot more active than ever. Friv kogama
