[edit] uhh, me. . .

I am a native of Los Angeles and I am of the curious type. I can spend hours browsing Wikipedia trying to broaden my knowledge, and to avoid doing other things (See: procrastination). I am new to writing/editing Wikipedia articles, so my formatting skills are still developing.

[edit] Knowledge, if any . . .

I like to consider myself to be a person of broad general knowledge, but my metier is motorsports and land vehicles in general. Since childhood I have been involved with designing, building/fixing, and racing all forms of motorsport (from Gopeds to shifter karts to 600cc and vintage motorcycles, to cars (drag racing, SOLOII, SCCA road racing, etc.). I love anything with an engine and wheels (be it 2, 4, or whatever).
