We all know what we drive - and its always chit chat on here about our trucks.. How about we lighten the mood a little and get to know one another :)

So - what do you do for a living - where are you from? Heck you never know what kind of networking may come of it either.

I'll start...
From NW Burbs of Chicago, IL

Worked as a package engineer from college for Pepsi, Quaker Oats, Gatorade + Tropicana..

Walked in one day and learned I no longer had a job. SO rather than "The Man" telling me what was up I started my own biz

deal in powersport parts + accessories. Boats, Snowmobiles, Dirtbikes, Atv's etc.. sell new / used / oem parts www.bkboatnsleds.com

So what's your story :)

OH.. p.s - was always a jeep guy - has TJ, CJ, ZJ, WJ, JK.. but now on my 3rd tahoe.. :)


oops. f-ed up the thread title. lol

From Kansas City, Mo (suburb of) and lived here all my life....

Got out of college in 2001 and been working in I.T. as a Computer Programmer ever since but hope to one day run my own business in a completely unrelated field. I've got my ideas down for it but still in the very early planning stages of the quest.

My passions/hobbies are cars/trucks (mostly classics), sports, working out and being with the family. If all those things can be combined into one I'm one very happy camper :D

Born in Atlanta, grew up in Alabama, now in Baton Rouge, LA.

I'm still in school and will be attending ITI in Baton Rouge for Instrumentation later this year. To earn money on the side I do a lot of yard work, work for my parents occasionally, and build and install stereos. SouthSlap.com is what I'd consider my "job". It's a bit overwhelming at times but I love being a part of it.

It was always cars since day one, although I did race motocross for 4 years, and now I'm just always helping out on friends rides as well as my Tahoe. Other than cars, I love to wakeboard, shoot at the range and hang around. I also have a huge interest in boats and hope to buy one for myself within the next year or two.

I enjoy out door activities, off roading, movies, chilling going out on the water, tinkering on trucks, shooting. Poker.

I also have two young boys (4 and 20 months) and a wife of 5 years. Both boys have already starting showing interest in the car/truck craze as well. They love "working" on the 77 with me :D

Born and raised in California. I was born in the Bay Area then moved to the Central Valley. I did live up in Yosemite National Park for 5 years where my Dad worked for the Fire Service.

When I graduated, I went to the Fire Academy and got certified as a Fire-Fighter-I as well as a certified Wild-Land Fire Fighter from The California Division of Forestry. I have tuns of other certs as well but would be here forever typing them out :)

I also have a certification as a EMT-Basic and currently work for American Medical Response where I have been serving for 5 years. I am also a Field Training Officer with them. I am currently in the testing phase for San Francisco Fire Dept. and hope that goes through! (My dream job) San Fran Fire is like the western states FDNY in my opinion

I have been married for 6 wonderful years and have a Handsome 5 year old son and a beautiful 3 year old daughter.

I also had my share of jeeps: 95 YJ w/ coil over suspension full cage, 92 XJ with Rock-Ready suspension, Winch and cage, bone stock ZJ.

I also have a true love in European cars and had a fair share of BMW's. 1972 2002tii, 1985 e28 535is, 1990 e30 325i vert.

This is my second Tahoe and it's been fun modding her! :)

Container plant(we make boxes) on the graveyard shift(ouch last 8 years):sleepy10: 2 daughters 13 and 6 years old, son 10 years old. Awesome wife who supports me in every way.

From there the list goes 80 Chevette(dont laugh), 89 S-10 fully customized with wire wheels and full hydraulic set up( installed myself), 95 Impala SS( i loved that damn car), then i went away from gm and got 99 durango slt, 99 dodge ram quad cab, 05 Durango Hemi(talk about gas guzzler,plus only ran good on premuim gas), then I returned to gm and my wife got an 03 Cts(she loves that damn car more than me i think), and finally my 03 Yukon. Which the kids and me absolutely love. and thanks to the ideas i get on the forum, looks and runs good. Sorry its long:emotions122:
