When I was a toddler my neighbor asked my parents if i wanted to ride on his tractor while he planted corn.  It was an open cab John Deere 5020 that had been engine-swapped for more horsepower.  A muscle tractor.  I rode all day using a Coleman water bottle as my seat.  I was immediately hooked and interested in anything with an engine.  My interests have expanded in the many years since then and I have accumulated a small collection of vehicles.  My hope is this blog will be entertaining, educational, and inspiring to those who also have a passion for internal combustion engines.
