Default Intoduce myself

Just joined this form a couple of weeks ago. I have been a car junkie for as long as I can remember. Been turning wrenches and teaching for over 30 years. I am a ASE master tech, GM master, Ford and Chrystler certified. About a year ago I was hit head on. So for the most part I am confined to a wheel chair. I am now able to get in the vett and drive with some mods. I am unable to work so I spend a lot of time on the comp to pass the time. I hope to be of help when I can

Welcome aboard! It's nice to have you with us. I'm very sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident. Sounds like that must have been one horrific crash. I hope you're still anticipating further recovery, and will someday be fully healed up and living without restrictions.

It's nice to have another tech here on the forum. Although I've been earning my daily bread in a different line of work for a long time, I still carry current ASE Master Technician certification, and there are a few other techs here as well.

You didn't tell us about your Vette. Don't keep us in the dark!

Live well,

SJW
