Amy (seems redundant at this point)
Married..to John who never remembers his screen name or password here
Son 29 yrs old, single so natta gm'a...yet
Too busy helping everyone else to get a damn job
been there, done that, loved every minute of it so far
Favorite movies: American History X, A Fish Called Wanda (Kevin yelling "*******!" out the car window while driving in England), Boondock Saints ("who needs rope?")
Hobby??
taking on the biggest company in the nation for illegal practices. Its been eating all our time and money but its worth stopping mega companies from screwing the public. Eventually the cars will run again but for now - they are bigass things that keep me re-drawing the "shop".

Born in New Hampshire, moved to Seattle area 9 years back to marry a local girl who is quite possibly the single most important aspect of my life, she's not a car buff, but tolerates my ramblings and desire to go faster with wry smile most of the time.
Hmm lessee. am 40 currently I am employed at a Goodyear in Renton. No degrees or wildly impressive accomplishments other than living through a couple of nasty alcohol induced accidents ( the other guy, not me) ...read over 40 broken bones and a couple hundred stitches, have a REALLY cool set of scars to scare little kids with.
One son, 18 self sufficient and has moved out on his own ( I am rather proud of him)
Have met a few of the locals, liked most of em too.
My interests are my wife, my car, a couple of MMoRPG's and taking off my T-Tops when Seattle weather permits.

Turned 62 this year.....I'm on the "doal" now. Get a check every month to spend on the car.
Retired from Motorola Communications after 30 years.
Wife is still working but not a car buff.
We own an Animal Emergency Hospital in downtown Seattle.
Live on a Ranch out on the Coast where we tend to 10 horses, 11 Great Danes Dawgs, a Goat, a Duck and an obnoxious old Parrot. http://theranch.5u.com
I've spent the last four years getting my Olds built and hitting all the car shows I can.
Life is good.

I'm 33 last May
Married for one year although been with Jyla for 10 years and just had a beautiful baby boy Gavin Mehki, June 15th.
Work for one of the largest business application software company in the world (suprise its not MS) for the last 6 years as a implementation consultant.
Love cars, I've sold a few that break my heart but I like "new" projects not real happy with my current stable but with starting a new family I'll probably buy a trailblazer SS as soon as some low mileage used ones with reasonable prices become available!! Thinking of a 968 LS1 conversion as well but still need to research that project
Wish I was closer to most you guys the Portland scene is nothing like it is up there!

Brent - 32. Married to Jen (31) since June '94. We have 3 daughters, 1, 7, & 11. Jen is a board certified RN in labor/delivery, I teach hydraulics on C-130's and H-53's now. I was stationed at McChord for over 10 years and got to know Ellis, Steph, Jim, John, Cory, Steve, Mike, and others through Team NW F-body back in the spring of '00. Left McChord for Kirtland in Jan '04. I miss it here, but I kept WA as my home of record so I hope to make it back here in a few years once I retire so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled in the near future for a job or two..

I'm Shane 40ish LOL.
I am married, no children
We live in NW Montana near kalispell, I am the only member in Montana that I know of except hayseed51 who joined the other day then dissappeared.
I have worked for the federal gov't as a civilian for 18 years & still sane. Never have met any other members in person, hope to some day. My wife & I run a dog boarding service & I have a little auto shop to help keep my car hobby financed. We are members of the Rocky Mountain Street Machines in Columbia Falls.
We'll cruise over to Seattle one of these days, it's hard for us to leave the kennel in the summer.
I will be at the river city rod run in Post Falls ID this weekend, should be fun. You guys should make it over, they're predicting over 1,000 cars.
Almost forgot to mention my hobby/obsession, it's an 01 Z28 that I am always wrenching on. I am building a turbo setup & wonder what the hell I am getting into. I've just about got the longblock together. I don't have anyone around that even knows what an ls1/6 is.

I've been around the f-body scene for a number of years and go back to the early days of Team NW-F-Body and NW F-Body and I've met a number of you here. Lived in Vancouver, WA for the last couple of years but will be moving back to Seattle next month to start working in a new position as VP of Sales for a large NW electrical sign company.
