My introduction
Hello, My name is Michael and I am a friend of one of your other members (Ryan from Ohio) who told me I should stop by over here and join up.
Now a lil about me: I am married with 2 daughters (24 and 28... Don't get any ideas guys) and I have 2 grandchildren (4 year old grand daughter/ 1 year old grandson)... So yeah I'm an old fart (but never disclose my age cause I don't wanna grow up  ).
We live in the Toledo, Ohio area and I own and operate 2 of my own businesses; 1st doing housekeeping (residential and small commercial properties, along with some light handyman work and painting of vacant properties for a local company)... Been doing this for 23 years now... Don't exactly like the work, but I love my clients and it is my bread and butter business.
Second business is Car Godz Custom Concepts (Car Godz for short and hence the screen name). This business is my passion and hobby since I've been working with and on cars since the age of 5 (helping my mechanic uncle and grandfather work on their vehicles). In the past I have been a used and new car dealer, light line mechanic, and parts house worker (part and full time jobs) so it only made sense for me to take the next step and do all of this myself. Car Godz has been in business for going on 9 years and I love doing custom work (everything from making them faster, better looking, to louder and better sound systems)... In fact for the 2007 season we sponsored and help build one of the loudest Bass Race cars in the world (1994 Buick Regal, walled w/ 4 15"s, 155dB).
My current vehicles: 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo, 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T, 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager (although I've had tons of cars in the past and still seem to go through the occasional quick buy, fix, and resale).
Well now that you know about me I look forward to getting to know most of you  |

Welcome. Awesome name btw.
Also, I'm going to take a guess, and say you're 56 years old.

I was at the track and got to meet him after watching the first round of top fuel from the start line.
here he is getting interviewed by espn
this is the boom guy and how close my brother and I were to the track. I got asked to ride on the power aid truck and how could I say no. one of the best time in my life (I was with my bro )

No need for the AARP as "I don't wanna grow up I'm a Toys R Us kid" LOL
I like loud and fast as much as the next guy (probably more )

I also used to race (1/4 mile) on weekends when I lived in Milan and once was lucky enough to take a Top fuel dragster (my buddies dad's) down the track once for test and tune... Best 7 seconds of my life!

Thanks for the warm welcome Ryan 
Seriously though, I thank all of you for the warm welcome and I look forward to being of as much help as I can... chances are you'll probably find me hanging out around the audio section helping Ryan to teach some of the newer audiophiles what it's really all about

Like I said, that'll probably be where I'm the best help, but since I have the opportunity to get everything from body mods to performance and even tires and rims I'm sure I could lend a hand on some other things from time to time too
