About Me

My name is Greg and I'm 3rd generation Japanese. There are 4 blood suckers running around my house, Eric (29 - D3v1AnT), Keith (22 - XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX), Shane (18) and Kenneth (16), I have two dogs and a turtle. I sometimes get the dogs and my kids confused, but I remember that the dogs are house broken. We are expecting our first grandchild courtesy of Eric. When I'm not slaving at work, I try to spend a little time on my website Restomod.us and when time really permits, I work on my Stang. My 65 Stang is modified for straight line running, but is very streetable and I occasionally take her to the local cruise spots (if she's behaving). I am the proud owner of a 2005 E350 Club Wagon with a Triton V10 with an automatic 5 speed. It's a great tow vehicle. If I'm not messing around outside then I'm inside surfing the web. My hangouts are the Mustang tech boards such as www.corral.net. I created my own MySpace group; "San Fernando Valley Gearheads" http://groups.myspace.com/sfvgearheads), but it appears I'm the only gearhead in the valley. Did I mention I get trapped working on the kids cars? Anyways let's talk shop.
Song: "Only Time" by Enya

My Interests

Manually activate the videos.

This one of my initial shake down runs on the dyno. We're trying to base line the engine and check the A/F ratio. No, it's not an earthquake.....Shane (13 yo at the time) must of been in the sun too long or something. Anyways on this run I had to back off the throttle because the car started fish tailing on the 2-3 shift. You can hear the announcer saying "He make sure he will stay in front, it doesn't look like he will have any trouble". He was referring to the fact that I started to coast and then suddenly got back into it before the other car could catch me.This is a video of my car as it sat in the driveway. I guess I was bored.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet all you hotties. Be it your a classic, late model, domestic or import. I'm open minded. The faster you are, the more I'd like to meet you. So all you gearheads out there, hit me up.

Music:

I enjoy basically all types of music, but my preference are mainly the oldies. I especially enjoy the group ABBA and Enya. I'll leave the noisy stuff to you youngsters although I have to admit I find my toes a tapping to a few of them ear piercing noise called music. I even listen to "I got Shot in the face", that's because one of the band members works with me.

Movies:

Here are a few of the movies I like. Away From Her, Knocked Up, Spiderman II, Last Samurai, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Moulin Rouge, Love Actually, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fools Rush In, A Walk to Remember, Just Like Heaven, Notebook, Romeo and Juliet (1968), Love Comes Softly, Something the Lord Made, Doc Hollywood, Someone Like You, Zoro the Gay Blade, Sweet Home Alabama and I have many videos of the National Mustang Racers Assoc., World Ford Challenge, Gm Nationals and Hot Rod Shoot out.

Television:

I rarely watch tv, but if I do, then I mainly watch the News and comedies such as Deperate Housewives and re-runs of Friends just to name a couple.

Books:

Yes

Heroes:

My Dad and all the soldiers protecting my freedom to sit here on MySpace wasting time and allowing me to get fatter.
