For me, every day is a new day to think about my passion of cars. I truly live and breathe cars; have ever since I was a kid. I used to hang by my daddy's side every time he'd go to his buddy's body shop. They'd drink a few, shoot the breeze, and talk cars. These were my first encounters of dirt track cars that his buddy built, as well as, drag cars.In my teens I continued to visit various shops run by my dad's buddies, even helping out from time to time. One of my dad's closest body shop buds even did my first car for me, for a measley 300.00 dollars. I still have that first car. I keep it, just as it was, when I was 16, looking at it from time to time, with truly sentimental eyes. I am now 38 and coming real close to finishing a total resto on my 70 Chevelle SS. I have known this car in my hometown, since I was 14, and am proud to have it. I just recently sarted a 69 Nova and have completely redone all the drivetrain, to my specs. This was a father son project, as Ihave now brought my son up in the car hobby. Like I said I love cars. I think about them all the time. I hope my dad is happy with what I have become. I am happy with what my son "is" becoming. I work hard to provide for my family and I guess I am one of the so-called generation X people. But one thing for sure I work hard for what I have and I understand the meaning of working for what you want. I mean that passionately. I am not looking for handouts from my folks or anyone. I just want to work on cars and think about them each day, just like the day before. I like simple things. I'll leave sociollogy to the pros. Thanks for having the lounge forum just for the rambling. C-ya.
