Hi, I'm Matt...
Let's see here... I'm an active member of a lot of online communities like this, so noob videos like this are of years past. Even if I'm still a youthful 23.
I hail from Grand Rapids, MI (home of Berger Chevrolet, where I worked for a while) and both grandpas worked for and retired from GM. One great grandpa worked there at the stamping plant on 36th street that'll be closing later this year, and two uncles work(ed) for GM for a looong time. So it runs in the blood. Here's my 'fleet'.
I have a 1990 Honda Civic I can't wait to get rid of, but it always starts and is cheap on gas, even if reverse works intermittently and the turn signal lens came out after going through a puddle once. Just a winterbeater, so moving onto some proper machinery...
1996 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)- basically stock, right now getting lots of TLC as it's my 'current project' to be a streetable yet capable machine.
2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650r- plasma blue matallic and basically stock. Being my first bike to accumulate any decent miles, it also went asphalt diving a couple of times, suffering mostly cosmetic damage. This is another project, and is my 'summer dd' here in Michigan. Before was a '77 Honda cb550 that I didn't have the time for as it needed a lot more work to be truly roadworthy, and I sold that to a collector.
1974 AMC Javelin- dad is original owner. I was stupid and didn't get a copy of the original title to prove it a couple years back when I transferred it to my name. 360v8, 4sp, 3.54twingrip. Currently in storage as this is quite an extensive project and I'll need my own garage to fix this up in.
...no Camaro or Firebird.
I've always liked them, especially the 3rdgens since being a little impressionable kid in the 80s, always wanted a red with black stripes Z28 ttop. Lo and behold, my mom's coworker has a mint '85 just like that. Maybe someday... I thought of a 3800v6 one would be neat with a hairdrier on it a'la Buick GNX, but of course I only have so much in terms of resources.
The gf wants a convertible someday, and well, a convertible fbody is what came to mind... so add another to the 'maybe someday' list of cars.
So, that's me... I'm not going to drawl on and on anymore.
