I guess it's only right that I take a moment to introduce myself.
My name is Ian. I'm from Idaho Falls, Idaho.
I'm a man of many hobbies and passions, but cars have been a big part of my life since I was 16 years old. I started off building off-road trucks and rock crawlers, then I got into Japanese imports, and then I spent the better part of the last decade owning/working on Volkswagens.
Until last month I owned a 1971 Volkswagen Bus and a 1991 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Both were in various states of disrepair and had their own individual quirks that made them difficult to count on. In a moment of madness, I decided that I wanted to own something reliable, functional, and fun...so I sold both of them and started working on finding a new vehicle. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I had to figure something out.
That led me to the Ford dealership down the street from my office. I had seen the Transit Connect and been aware of it for quite some time, but had never actually sat in or drove one. As someone who is 6'6" tall, I was curious as to what kind of comfort I would find in an "unminivan." Well, one thing becomes another and I ended up walking out of the dealership with a 2014 LWB Wagon in Frozen White.
So that's it. That's me. I'll be around. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer.
