Mike here. I married into the group (my wife is Shirazi). I've spent most of my life in the DC area, but have relocated to a few cities in CA in the past, most recently with a brief stint in Santa Barbara.
Currently driving a tuned 335d (
pics) or my lovely wife's x5 4.8i.
Before you ask, ye kami Farsi mifahmam ame kheli khoub nemitounam harf bezanam.
