I'm the new guy. I have been reading the forums for some time now and figured I would make it official. Been mainly a truck guy for the better part of my short life because I didn't want to pay for the insurance for a mustang and couldn't imagine a good image of launching my boat with one either. So I finally bought one end of last year and got it out of storage yesterday.

I have always been crazy about cars and have worked on many, my dad has taught me tons, I grew up spending most of my days out in his barn with a car on the lift or one in our body shop. For some reason he never wanted to get into the motors, always said theres too much electronics and its not like the old days. When he was my age he bought a '72 cuda (which he still has). He tells me how he could beat every one in town except 1. So since he won't help me I'll be looking for lots of advice for my car.

I'll be graduating from Kettering University(GMI) this summer with a mechanical engineering degree. I have been interning at TRW Automotive since 2007. And currently work in the Vehicle Development area.
 
Welcome. Post pics and get off the computer and back to work. Damn Interns. Haha. Glad to see you finally posted up.
 
Here are a few pictures of my car. Its a 2002 GT with 4.10 gears, Pro 5.0 short throw shifter, 100 shot that I have never used. Anyone know a place around Clinton, Macomb, or St. Clair Twp. that refills nitrous for a decent price.

Boats FTW! I just cut the shrink wrap off of mine tonight. I was in the captains chair, in the driveway rocking out to the radio. :lol:

BRING ON SUMMER!

I think we need an MM raft off one of these days. It seems like more and more people are getting boats.
