From Dreams To Reality



I have always liked cars and enjoy drawing and painting them. My first car was a 1970 Datsun 1200, which was quite the beater, but served its purpose. I eventually got a good job in the local sawmill and purchased a 1969 mustang. I made the switch to GM when I bought a 1980 Z28 Camaro with a Muncie 4spd transmission.



I had driven my friends Camaro IROC and noticed how much smoother the it shifted and the way the car handled and accelerated, so I traded in the Z28 for a so bought a 1988 IROC. I soon tired of this car too and I told my friends and family that I was going to buy a 1989 Corvette, but they thought i was joking.

It was no joke and I finally found a Sports car that I held on to. It is now 28 years later and I still LOVE my Corvette. I have kept it in great condition and for the last few years I have had Collector Plates. People are always amazed at how great she looks and how well she runs.
