Subject: Re: OK, time to fess up... by skirlin on 2009/1/25 17:25:42 My name is David Bigelow and I am 39. I currently have a 20 yr daughter Amber from my first marriage and a new grandson JW just born in December. I have been with my current wife Angela since 1990 and have been married since 1994. We have two sons, Tyler 15 and Hunter 8. Angela does not share my enthusiasm of cars and refers to my plastic garage ornament as a 'TOY' which really bugs me. BTW, it is my daily driver from April to October. I have lived here is south-west Michigan all my life, but I am really getting tired of the snow thing since I got my vette. I currently have a 07 Malibu, 90 Jetta, 87 Jeep Comanche (my winter beater), and a 92 Corvette coupe. I have been a gearhead all my life and wanted a Corvette ever since I saw "Corvette Summer" in the 70's. Finally got it in 2007 and it is better than I thought it would be, if that is possible. Other than my vette the only other cool car I have owned was a 1969 Pontiac GTO Pro Streeted, god what monster. Messy divorce took care of that. Hobbies, outside of cars, would be photography (Canon AE1, yeah someday I'll get a new digital), play(ed) the great highland bagpipes...I got bell's palsy and have not fully recovered, that's were I got the name Skirlin (skirl of the pipes). Politics can be fun, I love conspiracy theories. I would describe myself as a conservative Republican but I seem to have mellowed with age because I don't get too worked up over things like I used to. My grandfather, who is an old school Democrat, and I really like to mix it up. We usually end our 'discussions' with a laugh, fun. When I got my Corvette it created quite a stir in my family. My sister thought it was great, my parents were surprised I could talk my wife into it, and my grandfather just got a big grin, he's in his 80's and said do it now because 'someday' may never come. |
