There really isnt much to me.
I was given the name JJ by my friends when i was a kid ( they couldn't pronounce my really name LOL ). I am 45 yrs young. I have a wonderful and supporting wife name Lisa and a car-nut of a son name Jonny. I move for a furniture company.
I have been working on cars wince i was 10. i've had so many cars since then that i have forgotten some of them. LOL
Like i said, not really much to me. I have played music when i was a kid, i was MECP certified in '97, i have lived in 4 different states and married twice. The second one is a keeper. LOL

My name is Lou. I'm 40. I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Which is south of Detroit, Michigan. The only Canadian city that looks north to the lower 48 United States. (feel free to google map it) I've been working steady midnight shift for 18 years and counting. 
I've been a car guy all my life. I prefer GM cars. But love cars of all makes. I've owned two Chevy Cavaliers (a 1985 Type 10 hatchback, and a 1991 Z24). A 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT (aka "The Money Pit"). And currently a 2004 Chevy Monte Carlo SS.

All my pictures of the 91 Z24 were taken on film cameras. I only have a few of them scanned in so far. Here's the best one I have scanned in so far. It's the last picture I took of it before I sold it.

Howdy, My real name is Kernie Nichols II and I'm 41 this month (and my dad is STILL smarter than I am... damn... I still want to be like him when I grow up!)
I'm not religious, but I feel I've been blessed/privileged with an eventful life. I served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, lived in Germany for two years, traveled around the US for work mostly (Casino job). I lived in Biloxi, MS when Katrina hit. Moved to Las Vegas after that then relocated back to New Orleans (which then experienced Gustaf) where I still live.
I finally got out of the casino life and I'm currently working for a small Info Tech Managed Services company that is growing. Great people, good business sense, and I'm lucky enough to work in the field I love. I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and need to get my update to MCIT certification, but I also have old certifications w/ Cisco and Novell.
Even though I'm certified w/ Microsoft, I'm really a jack of all trades/master of none. I dabble w/ Linux and PBX systems in my free time and prefer networking over server administration.
Married twice. My first wife was almost 10yrs younger than me (yea baby!) but wanted to get her own experience at life (with other guys) so we went our separate ways and I then met my current wife (closer in age, but still younger... Yea baby!). We've been married 6 years now and she's perfect for me. I have 3 step children with her that I treat like my own. The oldest lives with us and his Grandparents, but the the other two (14 and 11) live with us. Our youngest is a girl and she's more like me than her birth dad. I really think she's gonna be me car nut.
I've been a NASCAR fan for 10+ years, but I'm a late bloomer in the car nut thing. I want to learn it all and do it for myself and so far my wife supports me in it!! My Monte is my first 'project' car, so I hope it will do right by my unskilled attempts at learning. So far I think I've improved it, so I hope I can keep that going!
Well, that's about all I can think of... Oh yea... even though I live on the coast, South East Indiana is still my home.. Go COLTS!! Skyline and White Castles...
My wife's daily driver is an 05 Ford Expedition and my DD is a 06 Ford Fusion. I dabble with mods for my Fusion too, but since it has to get me to work and back, it will be mostly cosmetic/interior.
anyhow... have a good day and if you made it this far you then I must not have bored you too much! Later.
