I'm a gearhead. It's what I do for a living. I've got a home shop where I work on every make model, truck car or motorcycle.

I currently drive a gmc suburban k1500 as my daily/ tow rig. Lifted 2 inches with 33 inch tires. I also use it to haul my fishing boat and equipment. I've also got 2 motorcycles a honda cbr929rr and a v45 honda magna. I want a Harley but a bit out of my price range. I've had many cars and trucks. All modified or restored. Oil flows through my veins.

Good to know Elliot! I'm a licensed auto technician by trade as well..Though I do wish I had my own workshop/hoist to play around with my car more. I don't have as many toys as you do, but I fear that will change eventually! lol

Yeah the toys have piled on quick...I have a bad habit of buying broken cars...when you have your own trailer and truck it's hard not to go pick stuff up lol. I'm currently working out of a 3 bay shop at home but hopefully, soon I'll be building a larger shop...somewhere along the lines of 2500 square feet...the bigger the better

I wish I had my own hoist, I wish I had access to my old high school auto shop as well as I wish they didn't get rid of all the stuff they had including 2 inground 2 post hoist and an old clayton dyno (should of been a dyno jet).

That's a Damn nice setup especially for a high school. That's something I'm missing. My current shop isn't tall enough for a lift. I spend a lot of time laying under vehicles

Yes it WAS nice. Now they don't have an auto program because kids aren't interested in cars or driving anymore.
