Introduction I'm a guy who loves cars. I have all kinds of ideas for awesome custom cars, but I can't build them due to lack of funding, so I write about them here. I also can't decide on which one to build first, so that doesn't help cars get added to my garage either. I've been infatuated with cars since I can remember, and hopefully, I can actually get something cool to call my own after a while. Although, I have had a few cool cars, but they all had to go because of moves, money shortages, or having wrecked my daily driver. I've decided to also add write-ups of work I've done to my cars and my fun road trips I take to this blog. I'm hoping that if I get enough interested people watching my blog, maybe I can either get advertising revenue or crowd sourcing to help fund more fun trips or possibly car improvements.
Interests I've owned: '74 Maverick sedan (still in a shed in MN) '64 Fairlane wagon (sold to pay for wrecked suspension on my Sable) '78 GMC 1/2 ton camper special (sold) '90 F-150 (sold) '72 Mercury Monterey (shouldn't have bought this. I never picked it up) '00 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (sold) '96 Jeep Cherokee Country (Traded) '00 Ford Taurus SE (Sold) '91 Mercury Sable LS (Scrapped) '88 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer 2-door (Sold) '87 Pontiac Fiero (Sold) '02 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport. Cars that aren't on this list, but I say I drive in the blog are probably owned by my parents and appropriated to my use. Cars I'd really like to own: '03 Crown Vic '72 Ranchero '88 Fiero GT '48-'52 Ford F-Rat Rod Off-road Ranger or Jeep
Favorite Movies Would you believe I like car movies!? I especially like the older ones like Bullett, Vanishing Point, Mad Max, and the Road Warrior. If you like Mad Max as much as I do, you should watch Bellflower. It's kinda trippy, but it's super cool. Highly recommend it.
Favorite Music I like rock; pretty much any kind of rock. Oldies, classic rock, smooth rock, new rock, hair metal, arena rock, metal, rockabilly, alt rock, indie rock, southern rock... you name it, I like it. Not a big fan of screamo or hardcore rock. I also enjoy new wave, electronica, country, classic hip/hop, and about 45 minutes of top 40.
Favorite Books Do car magazines count? How about tool catalogs?

If you were a car, what would you be?
