I am quite knowledgeable with my 420a, and engines in general. My grandfather owns a Napa, and my father and I own a trucking company, so I have been around mechanics since I was born. I have torn down diesels, V8's, and lately my 420a. Everything that has been done to my car I have done myself. I love my 2gnt, and I love anything mechanical.
College
I am studying at Bowling Green State University to become a mechanical designer, which in a sense is a mechanical engineer. I will design tools/machines for customers to produce what the customer wants to produce. I am very mechanically inclined, and can figure out how anything works. I love mechanics, and love to design tools.
The 2gnt
I bought my 2gnt back in 2002 when I was sixteen. Gave $5K cash for it, and that was too much. Oh well, I loved my car. I immediately wanted to rice it out, then I started looking around at DSM forums. I lurked 2gnt.com FOREVER till I joined. I have about an estimated $12K in her, including the $5K I dropped on her to buy. I absolutely love my 2gnt, and will more than likely keep it forever...seriously.
