I've always been mechanical. My mom bought me a broken vacuum as a toy when I was around 3. I just loved taking the pieces apart and putting them back together. Then came bicycles, then motorcycles and then cars. Unfortunately my father died when I was 5 so I didn't get the chance to grow up with a car guy to support my interests but my mom did pretty well with what she could. She took me to a motorcycle shop when I was around 5 and asked if they could ride me around the parking lot on a motorcycle. Mom was pretty hot so of course they were more than happy to put me on a motorcycle tank and ride me around
. I have various other stories like that about mom, unfortunately she couldn't or wouldn't afford to buy me motorcycles and go karts and all the things I desired in my youth. I've made up it for tho!
