"Because every one I hear pisses me off even more, and makes me want to show them we can do better. And if it doesn't do the same for you, then you haven't got the balls for this!" - Joe Elliot, Hysteria: The Def Leppard story.

While I don't take negative or constructive criticism THAT far, it's in the general area. I do take not so happy reviews seriously and as a ways to improve. Although flames will be extinguished rather quickly.

Favorite Sport: NASCAR.

I've been a NASCAR fan since February of 1998. Throughout the years, I've always stuck by Jeff Gordon's side as one of his biggest fan. I just can't believe that this year will be my 18th year as a fan. And I also can't believe that this year is Jeff Gordon's final championship run. If you're wondering why I like Jeff Gordon, his stats aren't the main reason. I like Jeff Gordon because of how much he works his butt off for countless charities, including his own charity and his own children's hospital. The things he does for the ill and the less fortunate is truly heartwarming. I am also a fan because of how well he represents the sport. He's kind and he's just an all around good guy.

Also, if ANY of you are curious about NASCAR, have a question about it or are confused by something, I'm just a PM away and will be happy to explain anything. Don't go searching Wikipedia or any other news articles, come to me; I will tell you the blunt, honest truth unlike these goons out there that fabricate BS to gain viewers or start crap.

I also have a ratings system for MLP episodes based of the Recording Industry Association of America's rating system.

Crap: The episode was utter garbage either by a storytelling standpoint or the characters were completely OOC and obnoxious. An episode that looks like the rough draft and was never revised. Little effort or it was intentionally bad. Example would be Rainbow Falls, Somepony to Watch over me or Over a Barrel.

Gold: Only one or two memorable scenes. Certain characters either over or underused. Songs placed in too weird of places or the episode didn't get anywhere. AKA a background noise episode. Certain characters do things that make you question their motives. Example: Canterlot Boutique, Swarm of the Century, Boast Busters, A Canterlot Wedding, Appleoosa's most wanted, Heart's and Hooves Day or the Season 4 Premiere

Platinum: At least 3/4 of the episode is watchable. Jokes are spot on and the moral isn't half assed if there is one. Certain characters don't get more screen time than needed and you feel complete when the episode is over. You WILL go back to watch the episode. Example: the Series opener and season 1 finale, The Ticket Master, Applebuck Season, Wonderbolt's Academy and For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils

Diamond: This episode left an IMPACT on you emotionally. EVERY single part of this episode is memorable in all the RIGHT ways. You either laughed all the way through or you cried at the end. Every joke is a bulls eye, every character is used to their full potential without dominating the episode, the moral (if there is one) hits you and is meaningful and not forced, and you're sad when the episode is over. Examples: Amending Fences, Tanks for the Memories, Twilight's Kingdom, The Return of Harmony, Equestria Games and Brotherhooves Social.

My OCs

Cougar

First appeared in Fallen Eagle. Born in Anchorage, Alaska, very little is known about Cougar to the ponies. All they've gathered so far is he was a pilot in the United States Air Force flying an F-15C Eagle, he is about 23 years old, he worked in a mechanics shop during high-school, he loves to work with his hands and outdoors and he was apart of the Ghostrider Squadron for the Air Force with his long-time best friend, Adam "Reaper" Jones. Always looking to do the right thing and help others, Cougar despises anyone who intentionally hurts his friends or others, and he'll do what he can to help. He also very fond of NASCAR and 1980s music, more specifically Def Leppard. Cougar doesn't drink a lot of alcohol, but he has taken a liking to The Apple Family Cider and Marewaukee Brew. Other facts will be revealed in later chapters of the story.

Appearance: Cougar is Caucasian, 6'2", (a smidge taller than Celestia's horn) has pale blue eyes and brownish hair. Thanks to Rarity's seamstress work, he wears either a white or dark blue T-Shirt with the Air Force emblem on the chest, blue jeans, steel toed boots, official Wonderbolts Sunglasses from Rainbow Dash and a red and black Drive to End Hunger baseball cap. He is clean shaven most of the time, but occasionally allows himself to grow a five 'o clock shadow.

Relationship Status: Single.

Voice Actor: Classified

Checkered Flag

First appeared in Fallen Eagle. Born in the small town of Foaldotna, just a bit north of Applewood, the Earth Pony had always had a passion for racing. Ever since he was five, Checkered would always use his free time for exercising and sharpening his racing skills. The now 43 year old joined the Earth Pony Racing League when he was only 21. Rising to success with a championship at only 22, he became the youngest champion ever in the league. Aside from racing, Checkered Flag also enjoys raising money for numerous charities and foundations, including his own. In only his 18th season, Checkered locked up a record-breaking 7th championship. Now with 97 career wins, Checkered leads the championship and wins column for the EPRL. Checkered is also very kind, humble and a caring pony. He's always there to help his friends if they need it.

Appearance: Checkered is light grey (nearly white) with a half black and half white mane and tail with deep blue eyes. His cutie mark is a waving checkered flag. Just a smidge shorter than the average Earth Pony stallion, but not that much.

Relationship Status: In a relationship with Princess Luna. Checkered had harbored a crush on the Princess of the Night ever since he really started to study her history in his teen years, but feared she would never come back to Equestria. Once she did return however, Checkered tried to get up the courage to speak to her, but couldn't. However, during a charity race in the Crystal Empire, Checkered sent out a letter to Luna, inviting her to the race when he knew she would be visiting the Empire at the same time he would. Luna accepted and the two had a wonderful time at the charity dinner held after the race and began to secretly date each other.

Voice Actor: 4-Time NASCAR Cup Champion Jeff Gordon.

Casey Knight

First appeared in Rainbow Rocks: Get Your Rock On. Born in the esteemed and historic city of London, England, Casey always had a keen ear for music, classic Rock 'N Roll to be precise. Whilst a baby in his crib, Casey's parents played classic rock songs for his lullabies instead of "normal" songs for a baby. At the age of six, Casey and his parents moved from London a town in California, U.S.A. called Canterlot City. When they first moved to California, Casey had a hard time fitting in to a new country where people's voices were vastly different from the ones he had grown accustomed to and he never talked to anyone except his teacher. During an art project in Kindergarten, Casey met another shy student in the private Elementary School, Fluttershy. After inviting her over for dinner to break the ice, Casey's mother successfully got the two together as friends and they never looked back. Throughout the rest of Elementary school, Casey and Fluttershy did everything together, went to movies, watched Cartoons on Saturday mornings, did homework, listened to music, went to DisneyLand etc. They were broken apart when Casey had to move back to London after the sixth grade, but they kept in touch through letters and eventually social media. At the age of eight, Casey received an electric guitar for a birthday present and modeled himself after his two favorite guitarists: Edward Van Halen and Steve Clark.

Appearance: Casey is a grey 18 year-old with pale green eyes and a jet black mullet. He wears a Union Jack tank top nearly 24/7 with blue jeans and black converse sneakers. When playing guitar and singing, he's playing a dark blue with red flame Fender Stratocaster. He also has a tattoo of a guitar with a fiery background. In the Equestria dimension, he is a unicorn.

Relationship Status: In a relationship with Vinyl Scratch. The duo met in Sugar Cube Corner about a week after the events of the first Equestria Girls movie. They hit it off when Casey played the guitar solo from Def Leppard's Stagefright without accompaniment.

Voice Actor: Def Leppard's Joe Elliot lends his voice to bring Casey Knight to life.
