figured i'd swing in and say hi

And here i am. Name's Tyler.

I'm a 2nd year Automotive mechanic working in the border city up here in Canada. Long time GM guy.

Nothing but Gm's have parked in my driveway's since i could remember. Grew up sportin the bowtie.

Started off in the Auto trade at ford and worked my way outta the small town life and into a genreally bigger place. i work in a small independant shop.

I don't work on many Gm's as i am mainly the dodge tranny tech or ford guy. Still can't figure out why i get all the dodge tranny job's... lol last time i checked i drove chev's. haha

as for my vehicles.

yes i know your woundering did i do a typo in my sig? and no. That is an actual fact that it is to be a 2.0L turbo'd cobalt. Not stock by any means. Thier is no longer Drivetrain warrenty. i am on the 3rd tranny, 2nd motor, going onto the 3rd set of rubber's.

5th in my class 100ft drag lloyd 2007-tires spun from start to finish. air port's are not ment for drag's...

well i guess enough about me... get carried away with writeing noval's i guess. haha

lol may not be a v8 but it did give 2 ss camaro's something to cry about. thats when it was S/C. lol can't wait to kill the 3rd one when i'm finished the T/C build.

though i have grown tired of the track. way this thing is shaping up to be its gonna see alot of trailer use and the odd sunday cruise with the local classic's.

just to note i do not street race. i have to much to risk to do such an act of foolishness. my life, other's, my shop,... the list can go on.
