41 and just retired from the Army. Army aviation 101st AB. Apache Longbow helicopter maintenance. Air brushing is my hobby and I just bought a 90 4X4 back from my daughter. Only because the dealer wouldn't give her anything for it. Thinking about a custom paint job, but no ideas yet.

*69girl* · 01-20-2003, 12:25 PM

My turn, my turn!!

My name is Mir & i'm an alcoholic....

oh ooops, wrong place.

I'm 23 yrs old, am employed by the fed gov't in winnipeg, manitoba canada where I live with Gee_Emm. I don't have a truck but he has one & lets me ride in it with him.

We've been together for over 2 years now.

Pont · 01-20-2003, 12:59 PM

I'll hit the big 37 on the 30th of this month. I work in the timber industry making specialty plywood. Been divorced for 11 years now and I've learned why divorces or so expensive.......... it's because THEY ARE WORTH IT!

I've had my 67 for about 2 1/2 years now and it's gone through some minor changes since I bought it

Always loved the 67-72's and I'm sure I always will.

70c10 · 01-20-2003, 01:57 PM

I'm 33 and married with a 10 year old daughter. I got interested in cars at a very young age. My dad has always wholesaled cars and that got me hooked. I've been buying, customizing and selling cars since I was 16. I work as a Civil Designer by day and make custom interiors for our trucks at night. My dad has a 70' like mine and I am currently helping him with it. I've owned mine for almost 2 years. This board is the best!
