FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE ADDICTED TO SOA, READ THIS AND BE A HATER!!! I recently had an opportunity to work on the set of my favorite FX show Sons of Anarchy. In a past post I introduced myself as an SOA-holic and that still holds true. I have friends that are previous cast... Continue Reading →

A current project going on as we speak is installing a new LSX454 into Scrape's ride from Tapout. Once we get this thing all dialed in along with a few other mods we will be moving on to his 67 Nova wagon that will be used in the upcoming Super Chevy Shootout. Check back for... Continue Reading →
Catching up…
Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted anything and it is not because I have nothing to say, because if you know me then you know that is never the case! Crazy busy is the best way I can describe the last few months. I have been bogged down with so... Continue Reading →
NCIS-LA…and life
I was recently background in an up coming episode of NCIS-LA and I must say that growing up in a blue collar town just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa you never really get opportunities like that. Now, I know in the television capital of the world it's not that big of a deal to most and... Continue Reading →
Galpin Auto Sports’ Museum
If you are ever in the LA area for a vacation, take the time to stop and checkout the car collection GAS has next to their Ford dealership. The general public is not allowed in of course, but if you beg and plead and threaten to camp out, you may get lucky enough to get... Continue Reading →
2010 Optima Battery Challenge
Every year Optima Battery hand selects approximately 50 cars to be put to the test. You see, every car on display at SEMA claims to be the baddest and this challenge was put together to put these cars to the test....that's if the owners have the balls to drive them on a track and prove...

With the new 5.0 engine release from Ford I figured we would see alot of Mustangs and I... Continue Reading →
2011 Twin Turbo Mustang GT (Ford Booth – SEMA)
With the new 5.0 engine release for 2011, the GT is again, one of the most sought after cars for many reasons. Manufacturers are scrambling to develop parts and get them on display for the largest industry trade show in the country next month. For those of you that are "gearheads" and have never been to...

Orange County Auto Show
For me, auto shows in a convention center where manufacturers are displaying their new line up for the year are usually boring, even in the past when I displayed my personal vehicles inside the SEMA booth's. But it seems lately that the auto shows around the country are expanding on their customizing section and even... Continue Reading →
Breakfast of Champions
If your idea of a filling breakfast includes a Starbucks coffee, fresh baked goods, and gazing at handfuls of exotic and classic cars then this is where the breakfast of champions is located, the Ford Premiere Automotive Group Mazda Campus in Irvine California. Even though this is a weekly meet that starts at 7am you... Continue Reading →
Major League Baseball
I remember growing up as a kid in Pittsburgh and whenever the Pirates had a home game you couldn't get near the city without sitting in traffic for hours on end. Hence the reason for tailgating. That was the only way you could make sure you were in your seat with your hot dog and... Continue Reading →
BAMMA USA – Mixed Martial Arts
I recently had the opportunity to go to my first BAMMA USA event VIP style thanks to Brett Roberts of BAMMA USA. I have studied martial arts since I was a kid and spent many, many years bruised from punching and kicking everything in sight so anytime I get a chance to to watch nose... Continue Reading →
Dallas Cowboys Training Camp
Growing up in Pittsburgh gave me no option other than to be a Steelers fan right from childbirth. Pittsburgh fans are hard-core and "lifers" but getting the chance to hang out at the Dallas Cowboys training camp was awesome! I have met my fair share of pro ball players and you always seem to get... Continue Reading →

Mulholland Highway
I live for the days when I can hit the back roads, there is nothing like beautiful scenery and twisties to make all your stress disappear! Whether I am on the bike or behind the wheel of my 10sec GT500 DD (that's daily driver for those who aren't car nutz!) it's calming for me to... Continue Reading →
