I am currently enrolled at Modesto Junior College. I am taking a lot of computer science, programming, and networking courses as well as the required GE courses so I can get my degree and get a decent job.
I am currently working on my 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit to get it running. I have completely rebuilt the engine and got it running but it still isn't in the Rabbit yet. You can check out pictures of my progress here.
I am currently driving a 1988 2-door Volkswagen Fox, which I picked up for free from a friend who had left it sitting because he couldn't get it to pass smog. Fortuneately, after replacing a couple of fuel lines, the fuel and air filters, and the sparkplugs, I was able to get it to pass. My only complaint about it was that it only has a 4-speed transmission, but I will soon have that taken care of cause I just found the 5-speed that I've been looking for. While I have the transmission out I'm going to take my flywheel to a machinist and have some material removed to lighten it so that I have better accelleration. Once I've got the transmission swapped I'm going to work on getting wheels and lowering springs, along with a few other body mods, such as euro style headlights and taillights, possibly a rear spoiler/wing, and a new paint job. I will also be moving the battery to the trunk and upgrading from the 8-valve head to the 16-valve head, and while doing so I will upgrade from my current CIS-E to the more efficient Digifant system and install a turbo since the 16v head is going to require a custom exhaust manifold/header anyways. Hopefully I will have pictures of my fox up soon so you can check my progress.
I enjoy playing games on the computer like Tribes, Tribes II, Quake, Quake II, Age of Empires, Age of Empires II, Diablo, and Descent II. I enjoy spending time on the internet, either chatting with friends on IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, or AIM, working on my webpage, downloading music and games, or just surfing the web. I am a big Star Wars "freak". I am also really into Stargate SG-1.
