im 23.... been around primarily gm my whole life... learned everything about what makes a car run.... and what makes it run better from a bunch of old school rodders...

first car i had was a 83 chev malibu station wagon.... me and my dad got it for me at the age of 11 and i started by pulling teh body off and sraping it down... the put a 90 TPI vette motor. 3.73 posi... you mane it... by the time i was ready to drive it was bitchen...

but my love for cars started as soon as i coud hold a wrench, and walk into the garage on my own...

my dad always said he taught me to work on stuff so he wouldnt ave to some day.... and now he doesnt so i guess he was right.

i work on anything with an engine

I'm 29, been into cars since I was 14 or so. Started out with restoring a 66 Bronco with my dad. My first truck was a boneyard 75 Chevy truck, helped rebuild a 454 for it with a built TH400. It was sold and replaced with a 68 GMC LWB with a built 350/3 speed.

My first truck bought with my own money is still sitting in my yard, 81 Scottsdale 4X4 SWB. Had ti since I was 17 and look to keep it for a long time.

Just getting started modding on the new trucks, but have gotten alot of advice from the folks here.

I'm 22. Started modding 4-wheelers when I was 16. Completely rebuilt an '86 Honda 250R and set it up for MX racing. Came across a deal on a blower and put it on my truck, ( thanks Flyer). I haven't done anything else to the truck since.

Damn litredevil, I didn't think there would be anyone else on here who was into high speed bass boating. I don't think I'll race it any, but it should be fun. Supposed to pick it up next week. It is a '04 Bullet 21XD with a Mercury Racing 250XS on it.

31. The Tahoe is my first project. I knew the basics about engines etc.. but never tried the performance side. Now,.....all I do is work on the damn Tahoe.
