I've been a car lover since I was little. Up to like age 12 I was into exotics, but when I moved to the south west I discovered the world of lowriders. In my early teens my uncle visted with his 72 Chevelle and I was hooked. Since that time I've been an avid muscle car and chevy guy. I saved and researched for years untill I found my dream car - 72 Chevelle Super Sport. I bought this car Febuary 14, 2004 and will never sell. In the past few years I have gotten into 4 wheelin and am hooked. I bought a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee and started modifying. These two vehicles not only provide my with a mode of transportation...no... that is the least, they provide me with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I saw something I wanted, set goals, worked hard and eventually it paid off in aquiring each one. These vehicles each hold a great deal of sentimental value, the Chevelle holds more so, and is worth more to me than any amount of money in the world. It couldn't be replaced by anything.
I am currently a Parks and Recreation Management major at Northern Arizona University and founder and president of the NAU High Performance Auto Club. I work for Prescott National Forest as a Wildland Fire fighter on an Engine Crew and Lifeline Ambulance as an EMT-Basic. I have been married for almost 3 years and have a two year old son. My wife has been supportive of my car passion and I hope to pass that same passion on to my son.

go72ss used to own:
This was my first car. I got it when I turned 16. My Moms bought it for me from my friend's family for $1,000. It was old and a lot of things went wrong with it, but it was MY car and I made the best of it through high school. I threw in a deck, amp and some subs, and made good use out of the big fake velvet bench seats. After the engine and tranny gave out, I sold what was left. This car was pimp tight and sucked ass all at the same time. This car holds a lot of memories, good and bad, that I will never forget.
R.I.P. Pimp Car :(
