Automotive

'67 Chevy El Camino
This was my High School ride and it's currently being stored in a garage back home. The El Camino has only seen one registered owner in its life; in fact I still have my fathers original sales receipt from 1967. Once I graduate, get a job, and can afford it, a restoration is in order.

'47 Jeep Willys
This is another toy being stored in a garage back home. Some time ago the original flathead four cylinder was removed to make room for a small block 327 Chevy. It's a blast to drive, just as long as you never have to go above 55 mph.

'90 T-Bird SC
The car I'm currently driving in Atlanta. It's a 35th Anniversary Thunderbird Super Coupe.

T Bird Pinball
Take a look at the front of the T-Bird after bouncing it off a guard rail while accidently spinning on ice. This was a result of a humbling experience that reminds us we do make mistakes, even when we know better. I was lucky that only the bumper was damaged.

Mercedes 380SL
And No the 380SL is not mine, it belongs to my parents (though they never drive it). The insurance on the El Camino and Jeep is canceled while I'm going to school in Atlanta, so I now drive the 380SL when visiting California.

2000 Ford Superduty F250
I started getting tired of not driving a truck or a 4x4. Getting stuck at '99 TAG Fall Cave in was the last straw, so I decided to acquire yet another vehicle. Of course it's a Powerstroke Diesel with a stick.

Truck Mishaps
Some pictures from my Fall '01 accidents, aka the "Animal Skull Curse"

Sold: '90 35th Anniversary Thunderbird SC
Some pictures and information about the car

Installation of Ford 4" blocks and Pro Comp 2" Stage 1 leveling kit
Inexpensive 2" lift

Home Built Powerstroke Exhaust Brake (not finished)
I never finished the article, and probably won't due to lack of time. One very important item missing from the article & schematics is the use of a current limiting resistor so as not to send the EPR a dull 12 (14) volt signal.

Spring Break - '00
(Reimer's Ranch & Hueco Tanks)

Obed, Tn
July 4th Weekend, 2000

Sand Rock, Al
Though the place offers some awesome climbing, it is also a prime example of bad habits.

Boat Rock, Atlanta, Ga
The future of Boat Rock appeared dim due to urban sprawl, but because of some recent efforts by the Southeastern Climber's Coalition at least some of the boulders will be preserved for climbers and others to enjoy.
