Name: Justin D.
Location: Salt Lake City, UT 84105
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Occupation: Architecture, now Furniture Design







About:                     


Mission Statement:

To gain a little respect for a unique classic import, have fun, & win the $.



About My Team:

I'm a 30 year old intern architect that has 3 children & a wife that somehow puts up with me.  I have always enjoyed anything on wheels, starting with my bicycles & now cars.  I still ride my bikes to try & keep the gut to a minimum.  I have always enjoyed making cars a more unique representaion of who I am & the VQ510 really does it.

My Dad is an accountant that is now a small town guy living in Central Utah.  He is also a car nut & has 2 Galaxy's, an Impala, a classic Panel Truck, Ford F350, Mazda Millenia, a motorcycle, etc.  We have an interesting dynamic which basically consists of me having crazy ideas & him trying to bring a little reality back to the picture.  Being an accountant a lot of things break down to #'s & practicality for him so he'll hopefully use that mindset to help us be as efficent & quick as possible.

I've been laying low focusing on finding on job (got laid off a second time), got the car sold :( and waiting for Season 3 of Bullrun (that I would've loved to have participated in, but again the cards weren't right).

Thanks for compliments. I finally have a new job and I've managed to keep the 510 thus far. May still have to sell it though to get caught with the bills.

My full-time job has been part-time for the past few months & we're starting to feel a little pinched. Selling the Dime seems like the way to insure we get by until the economy & work turn back around.

Yes, LDS moms have moved away from minivans in preference for SUV's, aka "mormon assault vehicles."

Hey bro, regarding your comment in the forums... Mormons don't just drive mini vans. They drive SUVs and full size vans as well. Oh yea... and they drive BULLITTS. lol
