I have been off-roading in Southern California for about 13 years.  That was when I bought a Toyota 4Runner (4X2).  Besides off-roading, I have used it to tow a small sailboat, carry kayaks, haul boxes of crap when I moved etc...  It is an excellent truck.  Not a car based pretender.  I spent a couple months driving around the country and living in it until I could find civilization.                  

In addition, I owned a Mustang GT convertible.  Besides being fun transport, it served as my autocross car.   I did 5 years of autocrossing and am still trying to get the hang of it.  However, I did take 1st place in my division (F Stock) in 2003. 

6/19/07 - Traded the Mustang in for a BMW Z4 (2004 model).

2/15/06 - Threepeat!  Won the annual points award for '05.

10/26/05 - I won the annual points award again in '04, and it looks like I'll pull off a three-peat again for 2005.
