    It never ends does it?
    Hey all-

    So happy I found this place! The forum vibe is easy going if you catch my drift.

    Born and raised on the SF Peninsula, I'm a self-professed gear head. Anything that burns petroleum and can be modified generally gets my attention. I've had quite a few cars/trucks but the ones that stand out: my 2014 DC Supercharged Tundra, four different Pontiac (RIP) GTOs (1965 & 1970) and my current pro-touring '69 Camaro.

    Former Toyotas:

    1972 FJ40
    1980 BJ41
    1999 4Runner
    2004 Tacoma PreRunner

    I hope to be able to contribute where I can to the group. In my professional life I've been a automotive technician, crew member for both regional and national automotive racing series, and a production assistant in the entertainment world. Been running my own business for 15 years so in other words I'm in a permanent adult education program.

    -Dan
