Family, Faith, and Speed....... My wife works for a major healthcare provider. She's the brains of the operation since she has a Masters in Nursing. Our daughter takes after one of her grandmothers with her passion for music. Really great kid! Even loves aviation, one of my passions, and is looking at a possible career in it. I'm heavily involved in a variety of volunteer rolls at the Catholic Church we attend. I love speed!!! I'm a pilot, car guy, and ride a Suzuki Hayabusa. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, 0-100 in 5 although I'll have to take Suzuki's word on that. I love going for rides with friends and enjoy the twisties where my bike really shines. I've been in the cockpits of a DC-8, DC-9, 767, 747, MD-80, and Embraer 190. I spend a week each year volunteering at the EAA flyin in Oshkosh. Love the Thunderbirds (autographed one of my F-16's) and the Blue Angels. Love the roar as they make passes.

Tesla

Ok, yes you and I paid for this car and then the company stiffed us but the Tesla is still a cool car. Saw this one parked in the lot of my local Ace Hardware store. And I was just getting some paint.

The 60’s: Big hair, cheap gas, and colorful cars

Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday While that isn't true so much anymore, it was huge in the 60's as all the manufacturers were into racing, mostly the Trans Am series, even tiny American Motors.
