Newbie Here. :))

Hi! Im a noob here. Im from Los Angeles, California..
It's nice to know people that shares the same interest that you do.

When I was young I used to play robots play video games. I don't have much passion for cars. But eventually as I grow older, little by little things changed. My family and I moved to another location, so that means I have to go to another school and from there I've met my friends who talks about cars at the start to the end of classes. And I felt like a total outcast, since I don't have much to say.

So when I got home that day, I opened the computer research a cars for dummies articles. And I was like, whooahh! this car is sick. From that moment I fell inlove with cars.

Welcome!

Thats where is starts, the voices in your head! Then you find the car that speaks to you, and it's all down hill from there! Face it your on verge of affliction, stay with it, it's a hobby thats is full of personal pride and satisfaction.

In the end it is great. During the process it is tough. Last year I just needed to rebuild the front susppension and ended up gutting the engine bay sans the block and restoring it all.
The "Might as Wells" can hit you hard during a resot project. And since last year was our hottest summer in history, I wondered whether i would be hauled to the funny farm or the morgue...
It ended well though. It still looks great under the bug splatter...

Welcome to C.O. JacSmith
Watch out for Rob! He's a baaaaad influence, aren't you Master Obi - wan? Seriously he's a great guy. Got me through some tough times on my front end rebuild too. Enjoy C.O. and don't be afraid to ask questions or jump in with a comment.

BTW? All vehicles need pampering to some degree.
