About me and my passion for cars

I've never really understood "stick and ball" sports. From where I sit, unless it has four wheels and a motor, it doesn't count.

I've been told that even as a young child, I was nuts about anything automotive. Maybe it's because I was born in Detroit. Maybe it's because my grandfather would put me on his lap as he backed out the car from the garage every time he went to work on the assembly line in River Rouge, MI. Don't really know nor do I care.

My passion for Pontiac muscle is hopelessly a part of my nature and I find it therapeutic. As Keith Richards reportedly once said in a sober moment: "There's a part of me that's still sixteen years old...and I nuture it".

Hope you enjoy the garage,

Tinman
