I am a die-hard car nut. My father has spent decades restoring collector cars of every make and model imaginable...provided your imagination is biased towards English and European autos. My father can't stand American cars but personally I don't share that sentiment. My ideal life would be a modest house and a 30 car garage with an integrated hydraulic frame lift and every tool known to man. Second to cars of course, I am also a movie fanatic. Check out the blurb under movies.
I'd like to meet:
I am not much of a groupie for anything/anyone but I would like to learn from any one willing to teach me. I would love to meet and learn from any great formula driver, automotive metalworker or mechanic, and especially a skilled carpenter. I love to create things with my hands. Ideally, a "jack of all trades, master of none(unless racing F1)".

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
Music:
I am one of those guys that says they listen to everything. Truth is, I can tolerate everything but I prefer rock/alternative music to anything else. I went through a rap phase(briefly thankfully) and I was in the techno raver scene for years while in college. Yeah, glow sticks and all. It was some of the best times I have ever had. I still love dance/techno too.
Movies:
To say the least, I am a movie fanatic. I have a decent collection of dvds numbering in excess of 400+. According to Amy(my wife), I am a bit OCD with the collection. I have them on a Word doc list and alphabetized on the shelves. Big dork, I know. Fortunately, Amy is an ation flick junkie too so we mesh well in that regard.
Television:
God bless the DVR! HEROES, KYLE XY, 24, and House are the greatest shows ever.
Heroes:
Heroes hmmm... Well of course I'd say my parents. My mother has always been a hero of mine despite us being on eachothers last nerve. She is the emotional voice that helps keep my logical and often insensitive side in check. My father is and has always been an inspiration to me. He is incredibly smart and creative with a mechanical ability to rival most. I look up to him and appreciate all he has done for me far more then he may ever know. I am the man I have become thanks to both of my loving parents.Now, all sappiness aside, I think that true heroes are those people willing to put their lives on the line to help a complete stranger.
