I'm duck footed...

Oooh scared to admit this! Along with my obsession with American muscle cars, I collect and run O scale trains. Not the toy type some of us had when we kids but super detailed (and super expensive!) modern ones with digital processors with sound and smoke.
Crap, I just realized what a geek I am!

Thats interesting though! What made you start?

What made me start with cars was just as a kid about 3 years old I could name all the cars on the road. By the time I was 5, I could name the year and usually be correct. My mom and dad would just roll their eyes.
The train thing started about 15 years ago. Behind my restoration shop is the Union Pacific and Amtrak tracks and I would just love the sound and feel of thousands of horsepower rumbling by 50 feet away from me. Then I went to a hobby show and saw incredibly detailed 1/48th scale models of the trains that went by my shop every day in and I got hooked. My BF thinks they are way cool and tells me when we get our own place, he insist on a huge train layout!
It's just my geeky side but it is fun.

Amazingly, no injuries. I was leaning against the window screen, and it gave out. The screen fell the 2 stories and landed on a bush. I followed right behind and landed on the screen.

Jesus you must have some guardian angel or something with you. You sound lucky!

Thats pretty cool I guess something that naturally built up. One question from that.. You have a restoration shop?! Do you specialise in a certain type of car to restore? And do you have any pictures!!!

I've always been useless when it comes to maths or science, but highly creative in other areas, Especially cookery and music.
