name is Paul and I'm a GM world class certified service technician
in Connecticut. I started serving GM vehicles in August 25, 1997 and
while its never been easy, its something I truly enjoy doing. I
strive for excellence in a profession that is very much under
appreciated by most people. But at the end of the day, when I'm
exhausted and I can barely understand why I chose this field, I know
that its made me a better person and built my character to what I am
today. Its made me more precise, more tenacious, more dedicated and
more demanding than I ever was before I started it. I didn't chose
it, it chose me. This and everything I do, has one motivation, my
daughter who is in my avatar. Everything else I do is just fun, as it
should be. Send

- I'm Rob, an ASE certified Master Automobile
Technician with an additional ASE certification for being an Advanced
Engine Performance Specialist. While I did work for Cadillac for a
while recently, most of my background and career history is with
Honda/Acura vehicles where I eventually became a dealership's lead
master technician (foreman), and often worked with factory engineers
on the causes and eventual repairs to problems on the very latest
cars. However... my love will always be for GM. I have owned nothing
but GM cars and trucks my whole life (including the 2003 Corvette I
drive now) and don't see that streak ending anytime soon. Over my
career, I have worked for dealerships and independent shops, big and
small, and in just about every role short of owning the place. My
interests, other than cars or course, are motorcycles, movies,
shopping for clothes (yeah... I'm a little metro), and playing
basketball... poorly. Oh, and it's not really an interest, but I also
like evading attack from the Bengal cat that my girlfriend and I have
when Ari (who's named after "Entourage's "Ari" and can
be just as crazy sometimes) gets into one of his moods. Send

- My
name is Todd. I currently live in Michigan but was raised in Ohio. I
moved here in DEC of 1996 fresh out of college where I obtained a BS
in Marketing Management and after getting my first job when I met the
VP of Chevrolet at that time Mr. Jim Perkins. I met Mr. Perkins when
he came to my college for a speech during my last semester. I wanted
to work for GM when I graduated and saw this as a perfect time to
meet Jim and to express my passion for GM. So I took a picture of my
ride at the time, my 1987 Cavalier RS that I raced, was a daily
driver and got three show trophies with, wrote my name, address and
phone on the back of it and gave it to him telling him I would like
to work for GM. Well I did not get in with GM but I did have a job
waiting for me when I graduated working as contract for the GM
Roadside Assistance Center. My picture to Jim worked! After that I
moved on to write GM Service Manuals for two years; my vehicles were
Small Car and Camaro and Firebird. Moving from there, I worked for a
company for seven years developing Special Dealer Service Tools for
heavy duty trucks for the first 1.5 years and than the remaining
years I developed tools for Chrysler Corp. and also VW. I recently
left that company and am going back to a technical writer for the
vehicle replacing the Hummer for the Military. I began wrenching on
motors/vehicles when I was 14, starting with Vespa Mopeds. My
interests are cars/Corvettes, restoring pinball machines, racing,
collecting 1/18th scale corvettes, fixing anything I can, NASCAR,
white German wine and working on and around my house. I just cannot
sit still! I am ASE Certified in AC Recovery and Recycling as well as
GM Certified in Power Steering and have loads of tools. Me and my
tools are two of my cars warranty! I also started my own car
detailing business to pay my way through college. I have been married
for eight years now and we are currently trying to have children. If
you have never been to the Michigan Woodward Dream Cruise every
August, I invite you to come. Look it up on the net and see for yourself! Send

- Hi my name is Bruce and ever since I was a kid and caught a
glimpse of a red midyear convertible, I have loved Corvettes. This
passion was fed while I was in high school by my neighbor and her
now-husband, Richard Prince, R
PRINCE PHOTO a noted Corvette expert and automotive journalist
that restored a 1966 coupe in the garage. For several years, I worked
at their restoration shop on Corvettes from 1953 to the present. My
first Corvette was naturally, a 1967 327/350 red and black
convertible. Currently I own a 1999 Navy Blue Coupe that I bought up
at the NCM in October of 1998. The delivery was featured in the
January 2002 issue of Vette Magazine. I have also been working as a
photo assistant for Richard. This has taken me on some great Corvette
adventures including photographing the C5-Rs at their debut in the 24
hours of Daytona in 1999 and being on the cover of Motor Trend
driving the 2010 ZR1. I truly enjoy meeting and helping other
Corvette owners and am happy to be part of a great team here. Send
