About Me

My name is Derek for those of you that don't know me already. I am a simple kind of guy, I love cars and sometimes skateboarding. I used to skate every day, but now you can find me one or two days a week at Mira Loma. I love riding the bowls and the pool over there, and I always ride 8" or larger boards.
My first love though, is cars, I especially love the Japanese car scene. I used to drive a 1982 Mazda Rx-7 GSL, some times the car showed its age, but I love the styling and performance potential. Not to mention it is one of the few cars to come with a Rotary motor.
Just recently I picked up a 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86, one of the few cars I'd sell the Rx for. I'm really loving the car, and mechanically its similar enough that I don't miss the Rx that much.
And thats more or less me, if you feel like talking about cars, skateboarding, or music, maybe even life in general drop me a line.
