Hello Autopians!

My name is Jack and I am thankful that I have been allowed to join the Autopia community. I am located in Joplin, MO and have joined Autopia in order to further expand my knowledge of automotive care. I have been lurking these forums for a while now and it is refreshing to see an automotive related forum that has a bit of class to it.

As my screen name suggests, I own, but also drive and daily a Grand Prix White Honda S2000. She is a MY01 and gives me all 13 years of her excitement every time I drive her. She has been in my possession since April of 2009 and although the transformation has been slow, I believe I have come up with my expression for my favorite driving machine with my example. I feel as if Honda has given us a great springboard with this vehicle and not many modifications were needed to further refine this amazing machine.


Below is my baby, captured (just after a 70 mile, bug and tire-carcass ridden highway drive) by Envious Films. Please ignore the many bugs and lack of tire shine as this was taken almost instantly as I was out of the car and out of frame:



My goal with Autopia is simple: I would like to further my understanding of automotive reconditioning and general care to a point where it can not be just a hobby but provide an income, even if just supplementary. I have always tried to follow the thought that "If you do what you love, then the money will come." and so far it has worked well for me. I would like to use this thought to get further into the automotive care world, mostly just as to say that "I have a hobby that can support itself." Anything else passed that would be nice, but isn't the goal.

So again, Thank you for adding me to the community! I hope that in time I am able to provide a useful addition and start contributing regularly. Until then, prepare for the barrage of post-search questions!

Don't believe that lie. I love taking naps and playing video games and have yet made any $ doing either
 
Thanks for the welcomes! I was wondering how many Missourians were included with this community. Are there any open-to-the-public venues, shows or conventions close to us (KC, St. Louis area) where someone could look at products and maybe attend some training?

I only said that I try to live by that, not that I actually can! I like where you're going with it, though.
