i have been inactive on here since like last year or the year before, late 2010 i think. kinda just got outta it ya know. been snooping around here and there on here but havent really said much. well guess what f**kers....im back. so what have i been up too this whole time...hmmm.lets see im still with my gf. in jan or feb of 2011, i was unemployed with no hope of finding a decent job. my civic was past registration, an without a job i couldnt afford to pay for it. so i sold it to a friend of mine for 1300 bucks. well i took that money and used it to rebuild my gsxr 600. rebuilt that and boosted it, but never got a chance to ride it cuz i could not find a place that would tune it. sold that to a couple of kids (probably street stains by now) for 2000 (i originally bought the bike for 300 bucks). while i was rebuilding the gixxer, i applied for a job at a local diesel repair shop looking for a tech. i was lucky enough to get the job, even though i have absolutely no high school diploma or ged, but have a really strong automotive background. but i did the best i could and within a couple of months they moved me to their wrecker division where i really shined. so after i sold the gixxer i bought a mid to late 80s olds cutlass ciera that was rough on the outside but only had 60000 on the odometer. thing ran like a champ but looked like poop. drove that back an forth to work for a while, then traded that in for a 2007 ford fusion se (v6 fwd). i liked it but i hated it cuz it was an auto, and i hate driving an auto. so i drove it for a while then traded the gfs colbalt for ninja 650r. rode the s**t outta that thing til november of 2011 (rain, shine, frost, bitter cold going balls nuts when the wind chill was like only 5....i didnt care). but in july of 2010 my gf and i ended up losing our first son (my second). it probably wouldnt of been that bad of an ordeal but while we were at the hospital the nurse asked me if i would like to see him (now bear in mind that my gf was only like 15 weeks preggo). i said yes and i wish i never would of. seeing your child, that small and it looks like your looking in to a mirror is a vision i will never get out of my head. after that ordeal and we both pulled through, i went and dropped 1300 on an engagement ring. proposed to her in late august of 2010. in september i bought a 89 turbo supra for 700 bucks. body wasnt too bad, had different fenders an hood on it, but the guy couldnt get the turbo swap running right. so after a lot of wiring issues, turbo/boosting issues i got it running damn good. in november of 2010 i traded the ninja and the supra for a cadillac cts 3.2l with a 5 speed (not an autobox, actuall clutch). around the same time, my gf told me she was preggers again. well here goes the nerves. but after a long time and a lot of doctors appointments we are now a month away from meeting our new son kamden. in feb of this year i fabbed in a remote mount turbo set up on the cts (currently not installed as im still cracking the tuning for the 3.2 liters, no one offers it). but its ready to rock an roll after that. but now currently at my job ive been there for a year, certified for detroit diesel dd15 and dd13 engine systems...m2 business class vehicles... cascadia trucks...electrical and multiplexing systems...hvac...western star systems...ase certified e1, e2, e3 body builders certification. and i have been the lead jerr-dan wrecker and carrier builder and lead fabricator for our shop for the past 7 months. ive built wreckers and carriers that have gone to new your, florida, canada, iowa, illinois, california, kansas and missori....also just now starting a build for a couple of pink tow trucks (snatch and grab repo trucks) for breast cancer awareness charity called towing for ta-tas. ive also repaired wreckers and carriers from all over the country (on trade in vehicles) and locally as far as chicago.
