Cofessions of a Motor Head. An angel watching over me.

Mine was an unusual puberty. Beginning at 14, I spent my summers serving my automotive apprenticeship in Florida and New York. But it was those long New Hampshire winters that defined who I would become. As soon as I turned 14 I got my Social Security number and applied for a Job at Frontenac Ski area. I worked there for the next 4 years until I graduated high school.

The Greer's became my second family and helped me acquire many skills including; driving a bulldozer, cutting ski… Continue

Dad had agreed to pay for the rear camber compensator, front sway bar, and 4 Koni shocks, I also sneaked in an Abarth exhaust. I re-clocked the torsion bars lowering the car about 2 inches. Mom was the envy of the… Continue

Confessions of a Motor Head, To Dartmouth in a Mini

Memories sometimes are best left alone. Other times little things will trigger a snapshot in your mind, a good time with a high school friend, a midnight walk down Main Street after foot of snow has come down, the sound of your booted feet crunching the snow, the only sound heard in the perfect silence. I still remember it was 1:00 AM As I walked up the hill towards the fire house, the only sound heard was the scraping of the shovel against the ground as lonely volunteer fireman kept the… Continue
