~I am young. Less than thirty. We will leave it at that.
~I am married and have 3 kids: A 10-year-old girl, a 7-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old boy.
~I'm a girl who is into gaming of all kinds, be it video games, card games, board games, role playing games, LARP, etc.
~I'm also into cars. I adore classic American muscle. My favorites?
*1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi in "Sassy Grass." Something about a 7L V8 rumbling down the block does it for me.
*1964-1973 Ford Mustang Fastback in Rangoon or Candy Apple Red or in Grabber Blue. I love the look of classic 'Stangs and can tell them apart by the minor body modifications they did between the years listed above from some distance away.
*1979 Dodge Charger Hemi in Sublime. Again, how can you not love a 7L V8? And in a fastback coupe? /swoon
~I also ALSO like sports. Sundays during football season you can find me cuddled on the couch with my husband under our KC Chiefs blanket. Baseball season is a little harder to enjoy with the husband, as he works weird hours, but we still try to take in games at at least local levels, and prefer to travel to KC and watch the (OMG I know they are horrible, but they are still "our team") Royals. HOCKEY season is where it's at, though.
~I'm a huge animal lover. I have 2 dogs and a tarantula, but my past pets include ferrets, rats, cats, degus, freshwater fish of all kinds, small birds, chinchillas, rabbits, and leopard geckos. Take me to the zoo and you'll get a strangely over-informed personal tour. How many other people do you know that can tell you the names of each of the lions and most of the tigers? How about identify what type of bat flew across the top of the Lied Jungle from a distance? Yeah, I'm strange.
~I was born and raised in the Omaha, NE area, but moved to KC for 3 years so I know that area as well.
~I'm sarcastic as all heck. And, like many women, I am opinionated as all heck, too. I lack a brain-to-mouth filter, so if I ever say something offensive, I probably either don't realize it or don't care, so just tell me to STFU.
Our cars:
2012 Dodge Charger SRT8- Pitch Black. Loaded and luxurious, sunroof, vented and heated seats... All the bells and whistles.
2009 Dodge Caliber SRT-4- Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat. Also loaded, leather, sunroof, and just generally sexy.
Stock it kicks 285 whp and 265 lb ft torque. Ours is modified to throw about 305 to the wheels with about 300 lb/ft. From a stop (0-60) it's not much, but from a roll, it's deadly.
We were recently given (Yes, I know :O ) my darling father-in-law's 1982 Fiat Paninfarina Spider 2000. He had kept it stored for about 12-13 years, so it needs some love. Here are some current(ish) pictures from when it first came out of storage and was still living with him.
And here the little darling is being trailered home:
We've already (since November) put some parts/work into it. It has a new radiator, belts, thermostat. It still blows oil from being stored and not driven much since then and has a slow oil leak. Needs a new top. It is currently having some kind of electrical issues and it won't start from a stand-still, but it will from a roll. I will post more in depth about this in the appropriate sections.
All that being said, it's great to be here and I look forward to asking you all many MANY questions.
You have certainly come to the right place. The people on the forum have a vast wealth of knowledge and are always ready to help. Best of luck with your projects 
)...to be gifted into the wonderful world of Spider ownership. A quick warning - for most, these great little cars get into your blood and you end up "smitten" for life - just look at how many folks on here own or have owned multiple Fiats 
.
