History on my vehicle interest.
As far as my interest in vehicles goes, it started when I was very young. I can still remember being a little kid and helping my Father work on his '71 Dodge Charger with a 318. I got my first car at 15 yrs. old, and that is when the true obsession started. It was a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird SE, 202 L OHC. I put more money into this car than I can believe. With this not only did I want to race all over the place, but some buddies and I had a thing for car audio. I installed my first stereo at 16 yrs old, it consisted of a Pioneer Supertuner II, a Pioneer 560 Watt AMP, a Dual bandpass box with 4 4-in ports, and of course 2 Pioneer 12-in subs...and DAMN did it pound. Anyhow, That is pretty much how that started.

How the mini-truck craze began
Well, with my 88 on the road my father decided he wanted to outdo my I suppose, so he did. He bought a 1989 Chevy S-10. This was one bad truck. He ended up with a cowl-inducted hood, 22-in wid rear BF Goodrich's some beautiful metallic grey CUSTOM ground effects, and ungodly American Racing Rims, mind you this truck was Candy-Apple Red. Of course it was a 5-Speed, like mine, and had the biggest balls I had ever seen a truck with. Oh, let's not forget the oddest system I had ever seen, with 10 8-in subs behind the bench seat. (of course that pounded) But either way, he had to get rid of the truck because of some circustances, but from that momment on I had decided I was going to own a mini-truck, and someday show him up, so here is my dream coming true (Very, Very Slowly). Of course though, the old man couldn't stand it so he bought a 1996 Chevy S-10 and is currently working to show me who the ameture is.
