New guy here :)

Hello friends,

New guy here! Just signed up and can't wait to get into the RX7 community. I've been an avid car guy/mechanic for my entire life and have had some decent cars over the years.

I started as a mechanic at Mercedes Benz and had a blast working on all the AMG cars, went to SLR training, and catered to the wealthy. Then took a step back in time and went to work for Subaru. Bought a WRX, modded it, sold it. Then bought an STI, modded it, and sold it. Just finished my latest project, a house for my wife and I. Now that I'm done with that, I need a project car for the garage!

No longer am I working on cars, but I've moved into the business of machine tools. I spend my days employed at Sikorsky Aircraft in CT working on all the machines that make these helicopters. Very exciting, and I enjoy every day. The money isn't bad too!

Hope to get my hands on an FD, decent shape, maybe a roller even and get to work. Thanks all, looking forward to a good time here!

-Mike

Yeah, I'm gonna troll the for sale threads and maybe make a wanted thread soon enough. Still unpacking stuff from moving, seems like that lasts forever!
