I mod another forum, and I know how one giant thread will slow it down, so I thought we cound have one thread where we could introduce ourselves. Members old and new ......

Anyway, I'll start things off and hope the rest will follow suit.

I'm Eric, and I'm in East TN. Seyomour. (between Knoxville and Sevierville)
I'm on my second PSD, just purchased....in my sig. Needs a tranny,

won't go there now.

I work in Knoxville, for the most part, and I travel all of East TN, and some of GA, VA, & KY for my job. Not in a PSD though. 2005 Caddilac CTS. :scuffy

I play guitar,

unk::headbang1:, and I have a beautiful girlfriend who loves to hear me play guitar, and to hear the bully dog exhaust on my PSD. She also likes driving it, and ain't scared of it...:thumb:

Anyway, I'm a very helpful guy with many talents. Pretty mechanical under the hood, and willing to help a guy out, ( but not carry them on my back ) If anybody is out this way and the snowball from hell happens and your PSD breaks, give me a shout. (Chris has a members list and numbers, I'm not posting on here for all to to see.)
