Some of you know me by the name Allen. Others, well, you call me what flies out of your mouth first. Doesn't matter to me, though. I answer anyway. I live about 20-30 minutes south of San Francisco, depending on how fast you drive, although I've made it in about 15. Once. That was fun. I work for a t-shirt screen printing company. We do t-shirts and all sorts of ad specialty merchandise for schools and corporate businesses. On the side, I do some work on cars. One day I'll have a cool car like the guys on this site. Till then, I just sit in the corner crying and sucking my thumb.

I am from Sanford FL which is between Orlando and Daytona. I own an aftermaket Harley Shop. We build customs and do performance work. We have an rear wheel dyno and specialize in EFI tuning on Harleys. I also drag race link to my car in my signature. Its an Automatic pro mod car we race at a few automatic series races in the southeast. I am currently exploring a procharger or turbo powerplant for 2007 season. My street car is a 502 ramjet nova with a fast xfi system. I also started a new venture marketing our carbonfiber valve covers.

This is Bret...my wife and I own Air Ride Technologies. I've been building cars since mid 70's. I worked as a rep for Autometer and MSD in the drag racing market in the late 80's and then as national display manager for Blower Drive Service from 90-95. Started ART in 96.
We currently have way too many cars, but 4 are my "keepers". 1970 Pro Street Mustang [my first air suspension car] 69 Mustang w/ an aluminum 427w, my 70 GSX, and my newly aquired 69 Boss 429 Mustang.
Marrying my wife, adopting my [now] 4 year old daughter and 7 year old son, loosing 240 lbs, and getting to run Air Ride Technologies makes my life pretty damn good!

My name is Mike Wilson. I'm 38 and live in northwest AR, just outside of Fayetteville. I am a financial advisor for a small employee benefits firm based in Little Rock. Cars have been my passion for as long as I can remember and G-machines have been at the top of the list from the first time I saw R.J. Gottleib's "Big Red" '69 Camaro. My wife and I celebrated our ninth anniversary last October. We don't have any children, but we do have a Great Dane that kids usually think is a pony.
