The Cal-look Lounge

I was referred to this site by another memeber....ahem... Jim.
Here's mah story...

For the past 6 years I've worked in the automotive business and I recently quit working to take a break and try and find something a bit more interesting or challenging rather....turns out...I really like cars and just hated the owner of the place I was working.
I'm 23. Born in Chicago, raised in NYC, and moved out to the Bay Area in 2000.

I never thought I'd even own a car until I'd lived out here a few years. People don't really have cars or even a DL in NYC...we had the subway.

I'm very into air cooled VW, Porsche, watercooled VW, weird Audis, hot rods and things of that nature.
I used to own a few neat cars but sold them out of necessity...
1967 VW Dune Buggy playboy body
1977 Porsche 911 w/ 3.2l
1986 Porsche 911 w/ just a piece of shit

I currently have a few motorcycles I run at the track, 2 american classic cars that were given to me by my father, 1 1948 Indian, and my daily driver...the 1992 Corrado G60.
It's awesome. I like it. It handles well....it does everything well except when it comes to...oh...the windows rolling up and down in a predictable manner.

I like music, cooking, volunteer work, movies, crappy tv, pretty much anything that distracts me from my life as I know it.
Travelling is something I'd like to do more of but being that I currently unemployed there is nothing to fund this.

Amadeus is my favorite movie followed very closely by the Doors movie.
I love John Belushi and Jimi Hendrix. I like to ponder conspiracy theories. Places that are allegedly haunted interest me.

Hopefully I have a nice bug like Rattos sometime soon. I'm looking to build one for the street. I live in a neighborhood I doubt anyone would try to take it...no matter how shiny.

Larry Mck---we've already talked on the phone. I know you'll never forget me.  :-*
Ratto- you rat bastard. Now I have a new place to waste time....this forum.

Below is a pic or two of me. I've actually never met anyone on this forum but Jim was my sales rep when I was working at my last job. I was so bored and such a chatterbox I think we ended up finding out we have similar music taste.
Next time you guys have a meet somewhere in So Cal let me know......I'll jet down there. I have the time.

Lemme get a bit more specific.
I like Karman Ghias and Bugs. After working at shops for so long I really don't like the buses.
Nothing personal...but....everytime someone came in for something involving a bus I'd end up sitting on my thumb.
Parts were just getting really hard to come by, at least for me.
Audis...I don't really like anything new. I think any new stinks to be quite honest.
I like quirky cars. I like Audi ER Quattros and oddball shit.
I love MK1 MK2 GTIs, Corrados and Sciroccos.
I do have to admit to also being a bimmer lady. I forgot to mention my old 1970 2002. Most fun I'd had with a car...
except when shit broke!
New Porsches..... If I could afford one...I'd probably buy an old shitty one instead and donate the rest of the money to a cause greater than my instant gratification...but I do have a fund for that as well.

I'm currently looking at buying a new car because my fiance has a son and I don't feel that my car is equipped enough safetywise for him.
We are looking at some MK4 GTIs (and R32s) as well as E36 M3s.
Yeah I want a safe car...but that doesn't mean it can't haul ass.

My mom says I'm a winner! I made it to the top!

Here is a photo with a funny story.
This picture was taken on Halloween.
My boss was out of town and I was running the shop.
My co worker/housemate introduced me to the show "Arrested Development".
I decided to go to work dressed as Charlize Therons character as the mentally retarded British female.
My co worker called in sick....and I was the only one at work...running the show and dressed like that....
One of the customers actually got it and took a bunch of goofy pictures of me.
Here is a good one.

Jim is awesome and his kid is going to be the next Wolf on American Gladiators!
And as far as roofies are concerned.....Who doesn't like the occaisional roofie-colada?
Shit. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Wait. Where am I?

The date rape drug!  ;)

I hear Larry Mck has the patent on it.

I like sushi, anything barbecued or with bbq sauce, Italian food and jalapeno poppers.

Ya know... I was thinking you'd get plenty of takers without the roofies!  ;D ;D ;D

What can I say. I'm a popular internet hit.
(I made a joke!!!!)
I look at all of your threads and I don't think man boobs or dicks are really that nice to look at.
You guys are nice and funny. I'm a total ballbuster. Maybe I look nice and funny but people get put off by my New York humor.
I can't help it if I'm from New York!?

Update: I may be purchasing my old housemates 1974 Karmann Ghia in what I like to call "IRA Green".
(plus he's Irish)
Needs a new motor and I have just the one it wants. The price is right. He wants one dollar.
Welcome to the family little guy.
