Default My Intro

Hey,

Figured I would introduce myself so everyone isn't saying to themselves "who the hell is this dude?" if you find me posting.

Cliff Notes:

-Colin
-23 yrs old
-long time VW/AUDI owner
-5 years in the Army, 2 Combat tours to Iraq
-Do the majority of my own work, from transmission swaps, motor builds, turbo projects, and suspensions as well as multiple 400whp FWD and AWD cars.


Thanks,

Colin

EDIT: I suppose I should have mentioned that I am looking for a C6!

Thanks, it was a love hate relationship but overall I would never trade my experiences for anything in the world but was more than happy to get out when I was done!

Hi Colin and Welcome to the Forum
You sound like a great young man who knows what he wants and then goes after it. I also thank you for your years of military service and then continuing on to providing more safety service to the public
