Who Am I?

Why should you listen to me? To be honest, maybe you shouldn’t.

So you’ve gotten past the poorly designed WordPress site and managed to accidentally click this link on your way to the back button. While I’ve got you here, I might as well introduce myself.

My name is Dillon, and I am many things: Mechanical engineer, amateur automotive historian, shade-tree mechanic, alcoholic alcohol enthusiast, curler (yes, with the ice and the sweeping and the yelling) and aspiring writer. Cars, motorcycles, and anything else with an engine (and some things that don’t) make me tick.

What you should expect to see from me: automotive history vignettes, articles on the engineering behind your favorite modes of transportation, and maybe some guides or primers on subjects that I find interesting, but might bore you.

Imagine this as a mix between Popular Mechanics, Car Craft, and Road and Track, just without any of the budget, access to press cars, or writing talent. What I do have is enthusiasm, an engineering degree, and lofty ideas about what this blog could become. If nothing else, let this mark the start of bettering myself as a writer.

I hope you’ll follow along too.
