I hope you took no offense PATRICK. You look great, just not as I had pictured you in my mind. I should not have been surprised though. I have been listening to my local radio station at work for years now and the morning team. The DJ I always pictured as being a big cowboy type from the way he talks and carries on. You know 6'5" 230lbs and wearing a cowboy hat and western clothes with **** kicker boots. They were doing a promotion a few weeks ago so I went by and man was I surprised. He was probably 5'1" and 100 lbs soaking wet and looked more like Woody Allen!! I couldn't believe when he started talking that it was the same person.

 

Man I like this thread , it's nice to see each other and it makes us feel more closer eh ? I had tried to start a thread like that in the past with a suggestion but nobody bit the bait , glad here it's different . You're shy at first and then your glad you did it like we have so far ... hope ther will be more .

I suggest we edit our postings and give a brief description of ourselves say ,
1) where we come from (if not in sig.)
2) our ride (if not in signature)
3) and our trade/specialty skills/talent (for informal reference , say we need help with something . Ex. sstlaure is a Mazda mech. eng. for Ford/Mazda as well as babyhuey)

This would be great when you forget who it was and you quickly check back here to ask your question to the right person !
How about it gang , let's do this and see what happens ) It will give more meaning and purpose to this section .... get to know each other a bit easier

Check my posting ; I have edited it , you don't have to do it organized in the same way or you can for quick reference for everyone ... if you have suggestions or ideas do add them ... all the better

 

You probably did not get as quick a response 6Pack for starting a thread because AlyssaC is bit cuter than you.. Good idea with putting more info in our post about who we are and what we do. Brief moment of correction though. sstlaure designs the things, I just try to figure out why they don't work and what it will take to make it work.

 

1) Patrick from Pittsburgh, PA..now living in Detroit, MI
2) My fiancee and I have a bunch of cars...a 2002 Dodge Stratus RT coupe, a 1983 Dodge Ramcharger, a 1994 Dodge Ram, a 1987 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, a 1992 BMW 525i, a 1983 Dodge Mirada, built. We are currently looking around for an Evo, but it is on hold depending on what dodge offers with the new challenger.
3) I am unemployed. I have a degree in tax accounting with a minor in economics, a level 3 hockey coaching certification, I am licensed to possess explosives by the federal government, and in the last 6 years, I have worked as a technician, a college hockey coach, an accountant, a pyrotechnician, and a restarant manager. so pick your poison..i have an extensive resume, and no one will hire me...I currently do new car reviews, and some free lance writing. I was running on a small national drag racing series in the street eliminator class for the last 5 years, and my name/car has been in Mopar collectors guide, Mopar muscle, and national dragster magazine, but when I moved, the car stayed back home, so this was my first year since i turned 16 where i havent made at least 100-125 trips down the quarter mile in a summer..this year, i made 4..all in my slow DD or the bmw...[:@]

i tacked a few pictures on to the end..i dont have any good shots of the daytona...
