Tell us a little more about yourself. Like where your from & what is your daily driver? I like the site name you have. But lets see you've been a mechanic for 14 yrs. I thinking your around say 34 ? And you still call your self a KId. Nothing like thinking positive. Just pullin your leg. WELCOME to the site. With you experience you should be getting a lot of mail from members.

My grandfather and dad both owned auto repairs, I always took vocational classes n high school.
I went to college and became an insurance agent as my father talkd me out of being one.
After three years I went in the Sec of state to re-new my license, I decided to take my State serts. I walked out certified in Front Suspesion and brakes.
I was a Mechanic not a technician.
I quit insurance wqent to work for Signature Toyota in Benton Harbor for 2 years, then to Haggin Wimberley Chevrolet for 3 yrs in Dowagiac, and ended up at Siemans in Bridgman for almost 12, they were a GM, Ford , Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler dealer.
I wsrecked a motorcycle badly in JUly of 2004, broke a leg, a hip and my jaw, 13 months on my back another yr learning to walk. Got a realtionship wiht Giod October 12th, 2006, I stopped two men from raping a girl, October 6th, 2 days later they found me an nearly beat me to death. Split my skull with a smack to my forehead with the claw end of a hammer, and two full bottle of beer over the back of my head.
Needless to say, woke up 3 days later, rage took over and then a lady told me about God.
I did a year at Teen Challenge International In Muskegon Michigan.
NOW, I am asst. Mgr at Performance Plus qwil lube, I work part time at Pennfield party store.I am dating a awesome women with morals and scruples, I am drug free and love life.
I wake every day and thank GOD for what he is doing in my life.

OK, IM 43, graduated with a 3.9 in high school, did a 2yr degree in 13 months, I have a a ssociates in Business Management.
But God gve me a GIFT, I love using my head, hands and mouth.
I dont preach or bible thump, I just know what has changed my life.

The only thing Ford can make are rear-ends. You always see people using that damn Ford 9" in their builds.

Crazy story... But if you have a gift you can use and share, that's fantastic!
