What is MIAC?

Since this Ties into my story I'll explain.
1999 I wanted to get something faster that I could do what ever I wanted to it. To make it more Show worth at my stereo competitions. So after talking with Devin Pearce of "SpeedWerks" he said get a Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Well 4 days later after loosing to my father's 32' RV I was back at Speedwerks showing, MOE, JOHN, Isaak, Brent R, and Devin my GS-T.
There were surprised I got one so fast. Well 6 days later I gave them a call saying I blew my motor, and turbo. Dealership wants $2200 for a new head and $1600 for a new turbo.
what can you do? Long story short I bought Shanes HRC S20G and Greddy Small FMIC and all the other stuff that was on my original set up.
So during that time they had my car and the fact that I had no life or friends (I was a work a holic at the time) I started hanging out at Speedwerks during my lunch break, and then after work for several hours. Because I wanted to learn more about cars, etc.
Well I one Day KRIS ALI and JESSE GIEKEN walked in and we started talking. Turns out that he lived just down the street from me. So we started hanging out playing Grand Tourismo and NFL what ever.
Wasn't long after that Kris ran into Andy Nash who also happened to live down the street. So I was over at Kris Ali's house like usual playing G.T. when Andy Showed up and proceded to woop my ass in Football (which I admit I suck at)
A new Buffalo Wild Wings Opened up in Apple Valley at that time and I'd gotten used to going to BW3's on Tuesdays for there, then .20cent wing nights. So I said let start going.
So every Tuesday 6pm we met at A.V BW3's. I was also still hanging out at Speedwerks and actually had started helping in the shop just because I wanted to learn how to work on cars. And that's when I met Seth. (I helped swap a VTECH into his Hatch)
So Seth and Gil started coming to BW3 nights with us. Afterwards we'd either cruise AV or we'd got to Pro-Kart indoor or head out to DCTC for some fun. (where I got my Nick Name "BRNOUTKING") as our numbers started growing I kept on telling everyone to invite anyone they wanted, anyone they meet, etc.
Long story short - what started as 4 people gathering every tuesday at BW3 turned into 25-30 people every Tuesday at BW3's.
Seth then created MIAC's Website so that we all could chat during the day etc. From there Tyler Started "XRATED" which was a club for those members that were into "Show&GO".
So basically MIAC was the chat forums and XRATED was for event people.
Who all has pictures of those first days? I know there are several around. I lost all mine when they gave me a new computer at work.
This is the only one I have left from our first time at Rock Falls.
