Well, for the time being, here is just a little information about myself...

Keep in mind I am continuously looking for companies willing to sponsor my vehicle. If your company is interested, I have a proposal for you. E-mail me at the address below:

I've been involved with the sport compact scene since I bought my Nissan Sentra back in 1998. My Nissan was kind of a more show than go car, but I was proud of it. Ever since I got my Mazda in 2003, I've been learning like crazy on cars. Unfortunately with a car as heavily as modified as this, you learn something new each time a different part breaks! Since 2003, I've spent easily over $25,000 on my Mazda MP3.

Useless info about driving my car:
My car has driven on roads in the following states:
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona... so far.

Here are a couple shots of me working on my MP3, and the other is me driving Ryans MP3! DOUBLE TROUBLE! Hellz yah.

Me and the wonderful car-habit supporting girlfriend who helps me in any way she can. I should just say she sponsors my car, hell, shes helped me with enough stuff, she even put some of her money into it. I guess its a JOINT VENTURE!

Thanks Sarah :) Love ya.

Besides spending countless hours learning about cars and my Protege, I work as a Customer Service Advisor at a local shop. If you are a local and need suspension work, tires, wheels, a battery, an alignment, etc, e-mail me for a killer deal! I am enjoying the sales aspect of my job, but will soon be looking to possibly relocate and find a career in aftermarket sales with a well-known, reputable company.

If you are looking to get your CAR sponsored, be ready to be patient and willing to learn. Hopefully you have a LOT of money already into your car and you have a background in cars and know the right people. If you would like to know more about me, feel free to email me, or check out my website, www.gr8mp3.com!

My next car (of COURSE a Mazda) if they ever release it as its shown will be a Mazdaspeed3.
