I'm AJ, grew up in the OC/SoCal, I joined the Navy in '84 and saw the world or at least a few duty stations in California. I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy and then trained as an Operating Room Technition, I stayed on that path in civillian life and now after the years have flown by and I had a successful marraige(for 15 years anyway...) two fantastic kids(in 6th & 7th grade now) and have been working in the Operating Room for 30 years now. I still remember at 17 being the youngest in the OR but now most of the Docs are younger than me. TIme moves on I suppose. Now I am in sales working for Zimmer Orthopedics supporting their Internal Spinal Fixation Hardware lines. What that meas is if there is a spinal fusion surgery going on, I'm there working with the nurses to assemble and hand up to the surgeon the right size/style/shape for the procedure he is doing. I suppose my other job is to keep him out of trouble :-)
I've been a turbo enthusiast since my first new car, an 87 Dodge Shadow Turbo ES. Not exactly a rocket with a 0-60 in 7.9 and a 15.20 1/4 mile time, turbo cars have come a loooong way since then. I kind of got stuck in the Mopar mode and owned just about every 80's-90's FWD turbo variant Chrysler made. I've owned about 70 cars at last count and I still have a handful of Dodge turbo cars but the 2014 Explorer Sport is my first Ford ever. It replaced my 2004 Toaureg V10 5l twin turbo diesel as my daily driver, I miss the 600+lbsft of torque and the cockpit adjustable ride hieght suspension but the ESport is winning me over in other ways, the kids keep discovering gee-whiz things the MFD will do and since I just dicovered 'Sand mode' (and loving it) I'd say I still have a bunch left to learn.
