About Me



Hey whats up; My name is Dan, I was born and raised in Stuttgart, Germany, the city of Porsche, and find myself living and working in Phoenix, AZ. If you havent guessed by now, Im a car guy; love them, build them, race them. Im the guy behind the seen, the guy who builds the cars so others can enjoy the adrenaline rush of going fast. V8nSide is the car I build for myself, my race car, now to own a car like this takes dedication and Im so fortunate that my love, Jessa, understands and supports my passion for cars. There are some examples of my work in my picture area.
