About

My name is Joe. I'm 5' 2" (I'm short) with blond hair and brown eyes. I have two piercings (one in each ear) they are both 00g. I had two other piercings, one on each ear, but had to take them out for school and they closed up. I plan on getting them redone however. I also have four tattoos; one is an arm band that has blue flames with kanji for love in the center, one is the flames from the Show'n Low logo turned verticle with the "SNL" portion kept horizontal, but resized; That one is on my left leg. I have the old school Minitruckin' logo on the back of my calf (which got featured in Minitruckin' Magazine under the MT lifestyle section). My most recent tattoo is a nautical star on my right elbow thats is upside down and the inside is a baphomet's skull. I plan on getting more soon. You can check out my tattoos and upcoming tattoos under the pic folder 'My Tattoos'. I generally wear either black or white shirts, mostly minitruck related shirts though. Drop'em wear? is my favorite clothing brand along with Lucky 13 and of course Dickies. I'm generally a nice person unless you piss me off or I'm really stressed. In the second case, don't pay attention to me/mess with me if I get angry. Anyway, I'm a hardcore minitrucker. I have been involved in the scene since I was little because of my brother. A few years back, I got my chance to actually take an active role in the minitruckin' lifestyle. My mom got me a '92 s10 from Klamath Auto Wreckers that was slightly lowered at the end of my sophomore year in high school. I immediately started working on it including tint, removing the molding (which was actually the first thing I did), having the traditional stuff shaved, a roll pan, stereo and seats out of a 98 mustang. Over the past few years I've had it, I've gradually done things/had things done to it like a full air ride suspension with 3/8" electric valves, fbss, reverse four-link, more shaved, phantom grill, wheels, custom tweed interior and a bunch more stuff. Its had its fair share of rough times through the years including being totaled before I got it and a couple accidents due to my stupidity. Now its a daily dragger with many plans for the future. I recently got it featured in Minitruckin' Magazine under the Ridin' Around section (August 2007 issue page 110) which I'm pretty stoked about. I also have another ride that I will begin working on soon. It was my brothers and his wifes '94 Geo Tracker. It's bagged, shaved, painted, 18's (eight of them; five on the Tracker itself and three for the matching trailer that is the back half of a wrecked tracker). It will be on the show circuit again soon. I'm also a Klamath Falls, OR member of the So. Or/Nor. Cal. car club, Show'N Low Miniz. In my opinion, this is the best club around. I've wanted to be a member my whole life. That's why I'm a member for life with my SNL tattoo. More recently, I've gotten into the offroading scene. In July of 08, I got a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Its got a 2.5" suspension lift, 1" body lift, 35/12.5/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws with Pro Comp aluminum black wheels. There's plenty more in store for it in the future. Anyway, I'm also very into dirtbikes/quads. I currently have an '00 Honda 400EX with a Hotcams Stage 1 cam, Pro Circuit full exhaust, Sparks timing advance key, K&N air filter with filter cover, aluminum airbox, AC nerf bars, Blingstar bumper, custom made carbon fiber hood with scoop, Trail Tech lights, Fly bars and grips, 2 swing arm, ASR 2 A-Arms, Works triple rate shocks and black plastics. I mainly ride at the dunes, but I will ride anywhere I can. I'm getting more confident in jumping and such. I'm also into photography. As long as I have my camera with me (either my Nikon, which takes film but is a kick a** camera or my little digital Casio Exilm) and something catches my eye, I take a picture. Check out my "Artistic s**t" folder for some of my photography. Anyway, I'm also kind of a computer geek. I have three computers (a kick a** custom built laptop, an older semi-fast custom built computer and a brand new custom built PC with an AMD X2 processor and a EVGA 7800GT video card). I intended to get into game programming, so I was attending OIT in Klamath Falls majoring in software engineering. Once I found out what programming was all about, I decided that it wasn't for me because I didn't like banging my head against the wall constantly because I didn't know what the hell I was doing. So I dropped out (Woo hoo! I'm a certified college drop out!). I decided to go into something that is more my style: customizing. For this, I decided to go to Wyotech in Sacramento, CA and go into collision/refinishing as my core class and street rod and custom fabrication as my specialty (Woo hoo! I'm a college grad!). Well, that's enough rambling from me for now. If you have any other questions or want to go drag the streets of Klamath, let me know.
