My Interests

my main interest lies in high performance vehicles... yeah hotrods! it almost doesn't matter what catagory, as long as it's high performance, it gets my attention. i lean towards drag racing though, because it's an accurate measure of engine performance. i like mostly anything high tech.

I'd like to meet:

fun and open people. Looking For That Perfect Beat

Music:

anything from metallica to charlotte church... well anything tastfull, catchy or just kicks ass!

Books:

"how to" books and car manuals... no novels!

Heroes:

my heroes are people like Smokey Yunick, John Lingenfelter and Bob Norwood. Peeps like that really inspire me to overcome, adapt and innovate. as well as have a positive outlook and acheiving high goals.
