Default Detailed Intro.....

Hello,

Real Name: Tom
Age: 23 (will be 24 in March)
Location: Central Pennsylvania
Occupation: I'm a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard with the 109th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment (MPAD) where I do broadcast (video/news reporting, etc). During the regular work-week I am the Graphic/Web Designer and Photographer for the J6 at Ft. Indiantown Gap.

I currently own a 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS (Supercharged 2.0L) . (The link is pictures on the cobalt forum I'm currently on)
Mods:
2.9" Pulley, Intake, Midlength header and downpipe, Exhaust, Tune. Nothing special. 230hp, 219tq on a 2900lb FWD, daily-driven economy car. It shuts up the little boys in their 350z and the-like.

I'm a humble person. I know what I don't know. Which is pretty much why I'm here. I know enough to know that the best place to learn the in's and out's of a car, what has been done and what can be done is on a forum. I know from owning the Cobalt that if you're serious about modding a car and want to know what can and can't be done, where to purchase parts, and which parts to purchase -- get on a forum.

I have grown up a little bit and want to pursue bigger and better things. I will be selling the Cobalt shortly and taking the next couple years to save up to marry the awesome girl I've been with for the past 4.5 years, and then eventually put a hefty down payment on a used vette to be my dedicated project. I'd rather have a crappy daily driver and a car worth modding than a somewhat decent car as a daily driver.

I'm a pure car enthusiast. I don't care who makes it. If it goes fast I like it. I'm not one to really do a whole lot appearance-wise to a car. I'm a big fan of clean, simple, and hide the rest under the hood.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I'll be on here asking questions from time to time and soaking up information most of the time.

-Tom
