About me and my passion for cars
Welcome to ThDragon's Lair: Ok I admit it and I did not have to go through therapy to admit it...my Dad scared me for life. Do not get me wrong I love my Dad and would not change him for the world. But when I was 15 1/2 we traveled from Charlotte NC to Nashville TN to pick up my sisters 72 Toyota Carina for $75 (yes I did not spell it wrong-they made them for two years). My sister sold it to a junk yard and I got the car in boxes and rebuilt it as my first car. A 4 cylinder hemi...blew it up 6 times in the first year-after the first engine pull I painted the engine hemi orange. Second car a MG special edition midget...that car could break down sitting still in the garage..it did not need a reason! Third car a Toyota Celica GT lift back..I balance blue printed headers straight pipe to Ansa dual resignator tips...back in the day a 280ZX dominator. 4 cylinders all the way...Dad did not approve of anything over a 4 banger-UGH!!!!
Then purchased my own first car a Toyota Supra Turbo one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven and fast! One of my favorite cars...and this passion continues today and several cars in between!!!
My first car
1971 Toyota Carina...yes it is not spelled wrong. Made the car two years. Had 4 cylinder hemi...blew it up 6 times in one year!
