Alex Peery Introduction

[lxpeery]

Hey guys! I'm Alex, and I'm a new transfer student. Technically, I'm a junior, but it's more like I'm a freshman.

Anyway, my current rides are a 2001 Miata, a 2003 Ford Ranger, a 2014 Mustang, and a 1971 VW Sand Rail project. I'll attach pictures of everything but the Ranger, mostly because who cares enough to take pictures of their 2WD 2.3L Ranger?




I really never intended to keep this car, but since I can't seem to sell it, I might as well drive it.


She's come a long way since then, but this is how she looked when I picked her up.


A little about me; I have always been into cars, and they've always been a big part of my life. My father was a sales manager at International Auto Parts, which was pretty much the only source for new Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia parts on the east coast. He also parted these cars out, and so from the time that I was old enough to stand, I was holding the proverbial light. As soon as I was old enough to reach the clutch, I started driving around the family farm in an old VW bug. Let me tell you, if you've never plowed through a field full of cow crap in a motorized tin can with no windows at 60 in the rain, you're really missing out. Also, the highlight of my life was probably when I got to drive a F430 around for 15 minutes.



I've made a living for the last couple of years selling used cars and car parts. I have connections in pretty much every salvage yard within 200 miles, so if you need a cheap used part, I can probably help you out. I also have a dealer license, so if you need to know wholesale or Manheim value (helpful for negotiating at car lots), I'd be happy to look it up for you. Only downside to this whole business in college is the amount of crap that I have laying around my room. My roommates and I are actually seriously considering starting a junkyard / dealership when we get out of college.




Looking forward, I'd really like to sell the Miata and the Mustang and pick up a C5 Z06 Corvette. Rumor has it that there's a member here who's looking to sell one? (hint hint, I'm interested)

Anyway, I'm excited to be a part of this community, as it seems like a great group of people. I also hope that it's not overly apparent that I've worked my way through half a fifth of Fireball since starting this post.

Have a great night!
