Age: 30 (31 in a few weeks)
Occupation: As it says in my sig, I work at Yocum Ford in sales. No better way to sell a Mustang when the consultant helping you owns one himself. Been doing it for over 10 years at the same store and loving it! Even helped a few members out here with their cars.
Dream car: 2006 Ford GT. I would send it to Genaddi to get repainted in Guardsman Blue with White stripes, and have #72 put on the sides on the roundels (it would be a tribute to my father's friends old GT40 he once owned (for 38 years). It was car #103, the oldest in existance, one of the prototypes, which now resides in the Shelby Museum in Colorado.
Interesting fact: (2-part): Had UC-Ulcerative Colitus- for 10 years (age 16 to 24, very rough 10 years!) Had that corrected with surgery which allowed me to have a life (anyone who understands what UC or Crone's is knows what I am talking about). Having UC for so long eventually cause my liver to fail, and had to get a liver transplant at age 27. Was on the list for 36 days, and was lucky when I got called, as after my surgery, doctor told me I only had about a month to live before my damaged liver would have shut down. Now it has been almost 4 years and its going great. This is one of the main reasons why I bought my car. I realized that even thought I was healthy (6', 160, no smoking or drinking) life can end at ANYTIME and if you ever are thinking about doing one nice thing for yourself (a trip, visit old friends, buy something you always wanted, what have you) to do it. You only live once!
