I've been a gear head all my life I love to go fast as well as build engines. I rebuilt my first small block chevy when I was 13 with my brother and after that the rest is history. It started a bug in me to be who I am now. Camping is a passion of mine we have a lil 16' Bambi Airstream that we grab every now and again and hit the road. camping gets you out of the City and into a place that you hate to leave (Fresh Air, Water Ext. ) Peace to regroup and reset to hit it again in the work life.
