Hi! My name is Vincent Swinnich and I’m a life-long car enthusiast. Above is a photo from a year or two ago of me with my 1987 Chevrolet El Camino. I am a senior in high school and I attend our local BOCES for automotive technology. I am a member of both National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society. It is my belief that I caught both the wrenching and automotive genes from my Grandpa. He wrenched on all kinds of things his whole life, although he usually only worked on cars to save his money. He taught these skills to my Uncle Bob, but my Father was rarely interested enough. My father liked cars, specifically the Chevrolet El Camino (more about Elcos in the next post…), more than them. I seem to have inherited both the wrenching and car genes from my Grandpa. It really seems to be in my blood.

I’m writing this blog for a couple of reasons. One is that I’d like to save my current opinions in an indestructible format. I would also like the literate public to know as much as possible about cars. The more the world knows about cars, the better the decisions they will make in relation to cars. They might pick a car that suits their life better, or they may buy a second car. Maybe they will find their new favorite car. Perhaps a reader will find out that their dream car can be more attainable than they expected it to be. I hope that you, the readers, will learn in this manner.
