..yet.
Been lurking a little bit around here, finally decided to register and introduce myself so I can get worked into the community by the time I have my car.
Just a little about myself:
-My name is Kelly
-I will be 19 in November
-I am not a girl, as many of you will assume that I am
-Born and raised in Washington state
-Currently live in Kansas City, Missouri
-I'm a full time student at University of Central Missouri
-Majoring in Automotive Technology Management
I have a little bit of experience with cars. My first car was a 1995 Firebird. Just some minor bolt on mods until the it spun a couple of rod bearings. Swapped in an LT1 and enjoyed that until a head cracked and both head gasket blew. I bought a 1991 Honda Civic STD with 73k miles after that. It was super clean, until I tragically slid into a tree two days before Christmas. I fixed the Civic and then traded it for a 1987 Nissan 300zx turbo, which is the car I currently own. I drove it for about two weeks until it lost compression, and after doing a gasket rebuild, the motor locked up. That's basically where I am at now. I have a POS Nissan sitting at my girlfriend's house waiting to be sold, scrapped, or stolen.
I've decided that I'm done messing with old cars, and that I really want to get into something newer and cleaner. I love the simplicity of 4 cylinder motors, and ultimately decided that I was going to look for an Integra for my next vehicle. Specifically 98-01 Integra LS. I want a car that is really clean and I can take on cruises and to meets and be proud of. Obviously something I can build endlessly as well.
I am not working at the moment, but I expect to have a job in the next few weeks. All earnings will be saved until I get the new car. I look forward to learning as much as possible from you all, and hopefully I can contribute to the community.
