Greetings all, welcome to my homepage. I've been a "motorhead" all my life and have had the priviledge of contributing to Wikicars since August 2006. It's been great to finally find a place where I can put all of my once-useless car knowledge to some good use. My specialty is older American cars, mostly of the 1960s and 1970s, so I guess my claim-to-fame here has been the contribution to the older American car pages that many people probably haven't heard of, much less care about - but I do!

The biggest thing I need to complete my contributions are pictures for the info box, so if anyone has any they can contribute, please do so. Also I'm glad to see some of my work has been expanded on, I hope that continues.

In addition to my daily drivers, I also have a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Formula (the "forgotten" Firebird) that I take to cruises and shows every so often. I also "inherited" my grandfather's 1964 Pontiac Catalina 4-door hardtop sedan - in need of just a little work - it's definitely something that's gonna keep me busy for a while.

So again, glad to be aboard among some great company, hope to make many more contributions and if any of you want to cuss and discuss some stories about anything car related... don't be shy!

Oh, and by the way, apparently some of the powers-that-be here at Wikicars had taken issue of my infobox use at first. I think I just might have the hang of them by now...  ;-)
