Hello, I'm Ethan. Born and raised here in the Ozarks in a small town called Cabool. If you were un-aware it existed I assure you, you haven't missed much. With a population not exceeding 2,300 it is a great place to stop for gas. When I graduated in May of 2012 I took the fall semester off and moved to Columbia MO with plans to begin school there in the spring semester, but found columbia just was not the place I wanted to be. I worked at O'Reilly Auto Parts while I was there and continued doing so when I moved to the Springfield area.
Of all my interests music is what I am most passionate about. I was raised on it, taught by it, and enjoy playing it. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I also love The Black Keys, All Time Low, Jack White, Fall Out Boy, Iron and Wine, and so many more. I have a very diverse interest in music as there are many kinds of artists I like to listen to, but relating to other people through music is a challenge for me because my views surrounding the subject are a little deep, or out there I suppose. For instance, I do not believe in musical genres. I only hear two kinds of music: music that touches the mind and music that touches the heart. Then there is great music with the ability to do both. However if it fails to do either it's probably crap.
I am a huge comic book nerd. Spider-Man is my BRRROOOOOO but I love anything Marvel. I am a big video game junky, or rather a connoisseur. Like I mentioned earlier I work for O'Reilly's so I am a huge car guy. I drive a 1994 Mustang GT convertible that I have had since I was 16. It's silver and super loud. You can't miss it.
Similar to music I try to understand cars on a deeper level. In my opinion anyone can build a small-block Chevy, but when you can discern what pistons to use with a 60cc combustion chamber to reach a compression ratio of 10:1, or how much boost the stock rotating assembly can withstand in a 5.7L Hemi, you can go so much farther with it.
Besides all of that though I'm just your average dude always getting into small town shenanigans with my buddies and working to make ends meet. I may seem quite un-approchable to most, but I assure you I'm always willing to lend a hand when it's needed. Having trouble getting the pics up right now #MacProblems.
I see your very passionate about cars and music. I also love music, but I don't know much about cars.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure by extension you're in to car audio, am I erroneous? I am and hopefully we share that common interest.
ReplyDeleteaudio not so much. i think in the last decade or so, sound systems have become more than sufficient for my taste. i would much rather listen to a nice exhaust note than a loud stereo.
Deletei use to be on a audio team and i hit 148.9 with 2 10 at 2400watts i took 1st place in my division
Deletelooks like you and i would probably get along pretty darn well, although id rather use 305 heads with a 58cc chamber and 194 valves in my .060 with the dome pistons to make it 12-1. i totally agree with you that anyone could build it but it take a completely different type of understanding on what makes it tick and be 600hp. im like you with music i have a passion for it as much as i do for cars.
ReplyDeleteyoud need at least 91 octane fuel with that setup lol
Deleteyep which you can get at eaglestop and thats gonna be my daily driver
Deleteyeah i always buy their 93 because it doesnt have ethanol in it
Deleteo yea i forgot you probably wouldn't wanna boost more than 7lbs on anything stock, to much and pop goes the weasel,
ReplyDeletelooks like we didn't grow up to far from one another! I'm from Mtn. Grove and i would go with my mother to Cabool at least once a month to some store that sold Beanie Babies.
ReplyDeleteZeppelin rocks. I saw Robert Plant in KC. I took my son to see the Black Keys last summer in St. Louis. Good times.
ReplyDeleteBro I listen to a lot of rap and hip hop but all time low is my shii
