Hmmmmm . . . fascinating.

My Bio

I am a former Ford Technician originally from Altoona, PA, now residing in Athens, GA having previously spent 6 years in Columbia, MO. While I no longer work in the dealership network, I still turn wrenches for a living, this time in fleet maintenance. The automobile bug hit me at a young age. Since then, I have developed a love for all things automotive. However, it took me 10 years in the travel business to realize that a "Fix the Car" career path was the one I was destined to follow, (although some call me crazy for making this decision). Over the years, I have owned a variety of high performance and luxury vehicles, and am proud to say that I have never owned any car I would call "ordinary." I hope you enjoy viewing and commenting on my photo galleries and rides . . .

This is a short clip from the Chicago Air and Water Show 2008. My wife and I were sightseeing at Navy Pier with our Austrian Relatives, when we all started to hear jets overhead. I was able to get a few nice shots of the military planes buzzing the Pier . . .

This is a short video of my nephew, Alex, driving my Jaguar. Alex, his brother Markus, his father Hans, and his mother Petra (who is my wife's sister), are visiting us from Austria. Now, before you shout "What, no crashes, no races," I had promised Alex, who just turned 16, that he could drive the Jag. I also promised him that I would record this event and post it online so all his friends could see him. So, I am happy to give Alex his "15 minutes of fame."

This is a short video of a co-worker's 1969 Dodge Dart GT idling in the shop (truth be told, it's his wife's car). This show winner was restored years ago and sounds great ! Motivation comes from a Mopar Performance 360 Crate Motor, 727 Turbo Shift auto trans with 3200 rpm stall converter, and a 3:91 posi rear axle.

A co-worker is charging the A/C on his wife's 1969 Dodge Dart GT. This show winner was restored years ago and sounded great as he pulled it out of his bay. Motivation comes from a Mopar Performance 360 Crate Motor, 727 Turbo Shift auto trans with 3200 rpm stall converter, and 3:91 posi rear axle.
