My Ride: M5
Hey everyone! Thought I would introduce myself since I have been, and will continue to be, very active on the forums.
I am new to the BMW forums, even though I am considered a "Junior" now.
A little about me
I grew up in Central Valley around kids who either bought old cars and fixed them up or bought cheap ones and did funky stuff to them, things like racing up a comaro, mustang, and porche, big-footing broncos or Toyotas trucks, slamming Hondas or old Bimmers, making a beatle super, and building dune buggies and go-carts. We did off-roading down mountains and canyons, ran race tracks, and flew down long orchard-lined roads through the fog. Anyhow, you get the picture. I love cars and I don't often take the backseat.
For the last 12 years I have lived in LA, SB, SD, traveled the world, and here I find myself back to cars again...
...AND a new addition working with RPi as the sales and marketing manager.
Thanks for your support and feedback and welcoming me into this community.
