: About Me

I'm originally from Florida but presently I reside in the frozen state of Wisconsin. I do NOT like the Packers. I enjoy life and my family but I refuse to take either for granted. I enjoy writing and will write about anything that I can get into, which is good because I also enjoy public speaking very much and that entails alot of writing and research.

I am still very much a kid at heart and my wife is still waiting for me to grow up. It is a good thing she is a patient woman because that might take some time. I love playing with my daughter even though she reminds me I am no longer as young as I think I am. I am by no means old but I have been dumb enough to try out a lot of stupid ideas. You know, the ones that sound good at the time until you almost break you neck.

My passion is ...

speed and technology related to speed. I always want to go faster and farther.

I know too much about ...

nothing. I am always learning but just enough to understand a subject never enough to master it.

My childhood ambition ...

was to travel, far and wide. I just wanted, and still do, to see it all. All ways looking for the next adventure and always looking to have it some place new.

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

It makes me feel good and I am hoping something I learned or know will be of some benefit to someone else. If not today maybe some day.

My inspiration ...

Autos > Auto Repair (Other) Can you get quality auto parts at a junkyard?

Yes . . . But only if you know exactly what you are looking for. Most people who say, NO usually say that because they don't know that it's really not that hard to find good parts, or they, or someone that they know, have had a bad experience with parts they have gotten from a junkyard before. We need to realize, that for some parts, it is better to buy them new and on other parts you can pull them but you need to pay attention to details about the vehicle you are pulling them from. What makes a junkyard part so much better then a brand new part from an auto parts store? In the interest of...
