Ever since I can remember I have been passionate about cars. It started as a child playing with Hot Wheels, and I've been playing with cars ever since (The toys just got bigger). "Smokey and the Bandit" was the movie that solidified my addiction. For years after that, I wanted a Trans Am as soon as I turned sixteen. Before I got my license though, I had found a new love, the Chevy Nova. My first car was a very used 70 Nova SS. I learned some of my mechanical skills by tinkering on that poor car (I learned more of what not to do next time), and it helped increase my desire to learn more. Right out of high school I did a year in an automotive technical school. I started my career in a gas station doing odd mechanical work and pumping gas. Lucky for me a local Cadillac dealership was looking for Apprentice Mechanic positions. I quickly applied, and was accepted. After a year apprenticeship, I became a Line Tech and worked there a total of six years before moving on. Two years later I chose a different career path, which was good for me. I now work on cars because I love to, not because I have to. Check out more about me and my Olds at hutchhiperf.com.
