About me and my passion for cars
I started loving cars at the beach when I was about 4. In one weekend I took all the matchbox cars, constructed roads and an elaborate switchback road up the side of a dune... Parents were like, "wow check that kid out... He likes cars..." That same weekend camping in Maine, I saw an amphicar drive into the ocean, past the breakers!!! Told my parents and they were like, sure kid, they drove their car into the ocean... That's nice.... They didn't believe me. Then they saw it later coming back in and driving up on the beach and apologized to me.
Worked in auto parts and machine shop in my early 20's and really got into cars.
Currently offending the neighbors are:
1966 Chevelle Malibu SS Clone, 406 small block Canfield Heads... On and on...buckets, console TH400...
