Not just cars. A lifestyle. A pursuit. A love letter to every horsepower, every gear change, every moment behind the wheel.

"Cars aren't transportation. They're time machines, conversations, and works of art all at once."
From the first time I heard an engine roar at a backyard drag race in Chicago, I was hooked. Decades later, this garage is the result of that obsession — every car carefully chosen, every build a labor of love.
This isn't just a collection. It's my autobiography.

Acquisitions
1994 — First Purchase
1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS
The car that started it all. Found it rusting in a Wisconsin barn. Three years of weekends brought it back to life.
2002 — The Dodge Era
1970 Dodge Charger R/T
A numbers-matching 440 car. One of the best decisions ever made. Dukes of Hazzard had nothing on this build.
2011 — European Detour
1973 Porsche 911 Targa
Started collecting European iron. This targa-top 911 taught me that horsepower isn't everything — feel is everything.
2019 — Modern Addition
2019 Ford GT Heritage Edition
The dream car. The pinnacle. Had to win a lottery just to buy it. Worth every second of the wait.
2023 — Latest Chapter
2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06
Mid-engine, flat-plane V8, 670 horsepower. Proof that American engineers finally cracked the code.
