About Me A 26 year old IT technician/administrator who is all about cars and having fun with friends! I've lived in Phoenix for about 3 years now and have loved every minute of it. If I'm not working on my car I'm driving or thinking about driving or dreaming about working on the car or driving the car. Drop me a message!

General Vehicle Comments My ride is a 2005 Mazda RX8. While the majority of people are all about stomping the throttle and being slammed into their seat, the RX8 is a car of grace and style bringing together elements which makes driving fun at all times. I've mixed form with function by choosing modifications which, while adding looks and flare, also serve to improve performance. This combined with the rotary powerplant add up to a truely unique vehicle which I enjoy more every day.
I want to say thanks to MazdaManiac.com, Black Halo Racing/Paradox Performance, and CKL Motorsports for their continued support of my vehicle!
