About Me

A Car-ful Passion

Welcome to my site! My name is Carter, and I have loved cars since before I can remember. Although most little boys like to play with toy trucks or cars, I took it to a new level. I was obsessed. As soon as I was able, I was building model cars, going to car shows and car lots with my dad, and reading books on auto mechanics. When other kids were saying they wanted to be an astronaut or firefighter when they grew up, my answer was always "mechanic" or "race car driver." My mom was shocked when I decided to pursue business instead of going the automotive route. However, cars are still my passion, and there's almost always a classic car restoration going on in my garage. With this blog, I hope to share my passion for all things automotive with you. Enjoy!
