[Guff]

Found it!

Soooooo, guys, I figured I needed to tell you guys a bit more about myself, mostly due to the fact that everyone thinks I'm old... (I tried to tell Zaku this in IRC, but he logged off.... )


Sooo, when I was a wee lad of 12 years old, my brother came up with this crazy idea while he was just starting his classes for his eventual career in Automotive Engineering. This idea was to get my father to invest in one of those legendary Toyota Supras. But not one that was in good nick; rather, one that needed some TLC. His idea was that he could do a bit of wrenching and not only get experience in his field, but also make a bit of money while doing so.

I, as a curious 12 year old, was determined to help him. And so, I did.

We picked up a nice 1994 Toyota Supra in Rennaisance Red. It was a little beat up, and I think there were some mechanical problems here and there.

My brother and I spent many, many hours tooling on that thing (I was for mainly holding tools and things back then), and in the end, we had a wonderfully restored Supra. We sold it, and made a tidy profit.

But instead of stopping there, we kept going. And I got more and more involved in it as we went. I felt just a part of it as he was, and it certainly gave us a never-ending topic of discussion.

Here we are, many Supras (And a C5 Z06, and 2 WRX STis) later.

To be precise, 6 years later; and we have both made some money from it, and have had an experience that was more than amazing...

We're still going. Hence the White and Red Supras we currently own, but alas, as you may have realized, I am a young lad of eighteen years. This means that I will soon be leaving on collegiate duties, and need a car to take with me. I couldn't daily drive a Supra, I respect the car too much. I can't take my Avalon, as it is near its end. So this is where the BRZ comes in. Thankfully, I have, over the years, acquired the means to purchase one.

And that brings me to the present time.

This is where I stand. A wee boy of 18 years, but perhaps with a bit more sense than some others around me, perhaps not.


And that's my story, I figured I'd put this up in the BRZerhood page, because you guys are great, and I haven't ever really been too up front about my age, perhaps for the reason that people might not take me seriously.
