Well I dont know bout everyone else but I dont know hardly any of the Minions. I'm one of the newest and being from the south I like to know everyone. So i wanted to start this thread and hopefully all of will post up some info. Ill start us off, obviously.
Im Lcpl. Jordan Duncan. Im 20, work for the USMC, Im a helicopter engine mechanic. Ive been building an beating on trucks every since I was old enough, my current ride is a 1978 short bed F-150, almost stock, starting to build it in to a mud truck now. My ride when i get back from Japan is gonna be a new 09 single rear wheel f-350 with the new powerstroke. So Minions lets here, who are, whatd you do and what do you drive?

You can run but you cant..........
Oh hell you cant even run.
Names Alex Frias, i'm also 20 and I'm a student at Arizona State University, where I go for my Degree in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering. I work as an intern for General Motors (I know but they're local and they hired me). I own a few fords: 1970 Bronco w/ 351W and 4" lift and a 77.5 f250 w/400 c6 205, and i have a 88 Bronco but its not in this country.
I'm a decent mechanic and a damn good welder and fabricator. I'm also pretty knowledgable about desert stuff and long travel stuff since I live in Arizona and grew up 20 minutes from the Imperial Dunes
Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your service to our country.
My name is Kris Kizer and Im 27. I did the college thing at The Citadel but I took the easy way out and went to work for my family at our building supply. Since then Ive more or less took it over.
Ive got a bunch of Fords but I mostly talk about George. Its a 79 F250 4wd with a nasty 460 C6 205 Chromo'd 35sp D60F/D60 4.56s and detroits front and rear -D70U rear pretty soon 38.5 Swamper SXs on 16.5x12 steelies - 40" LTBs on 16x14 beadlocks one day.
sup man?!?! i think i read in another post you live in East TN? we need to get together for a ride sometime, maybe at grayrock or tellico. we own 65 acres in Rock Island TN right along the river. prolly head up first of august to check on things there.
I am jason (aka cutts) and i am 25. I work as an IT contractor supporting the network infrastructure of my company that you may have heard of before... Panasonic.
the two beauties in my sig are my fords. 1996 F350 powerstroke with too many mods to list making about 300HP and 700ft/lbs tq. the blue bronco is (sort of) a 72 early bronco... with not much bronco left in her. currently i have the engine out rebuilding it all due to a stupid rear main seal!
my newest toy, which may get me thrown out of here, is a silver 2004 VW GTI 5-speed which gets me about 35mpg! i am loving it (and so do the ladies, hehe)

the minions are basically the baddest MFers alive.
or if you prefer Mr Websters deffinition its basically a foot soldier.
I think from here on out question #1 on the minion test is what thread did "the minions" come about. Maybe we'll throw out a rock question to make it fit.
Iight well im Mike Connors, im 17. As for work my actual job is working at a grocery store, but lately i've been doing alot of other stuff, dads buddies manages upwards of about 3000 acres of land and ive been helping him with stuff lately, and i do work on my buddies cars and dads buddies cars when they need it as long as it not something too big, i just about anything i can for money.
As for my truck its a 97 F150 4x4 with the 4.6 thats mostly stock, have a aftermarket air intake and some exhaust work done and for now its just sitting on 33" buckshots, but future plans include 2.5ton rockwell toploader axles, leaf sprung just to get it rolling, 4 link front/rear eventually, not sure what motor/tranny ill run yet though
Also lately since dad isn't workin as much ive been driving our 98 Ranger as my DD 4 cyl 5 sp (cant beat 24-27 mpg)

I'm Paul. Also 20, work for my dad landscaping and lawn care company and also deliver pizzas for some extra cash. Oh and I was one of the mechincal engineering students that this forum seems to be full of, but now I'm taking random classes at a community college because I have no idea what I want to do with my life.. (engineering got boring real quick..)
I'm will, 20yo, taking random classes at community college cause i got kicked out of a real college for being a complete moron and getting bad grades and, like my good buddy paul who lives <1 minute away, I have no idea what to do with my life.
trucks are the ones in my sig, nothing special. I also have a 01 ford focus which is my DD, pizza delivery beater, and an all-around good little car. I pretty much spend all my time doing computer stuff or car/truck stuff.

I'll be honest, I don't get the minions thing either. There are still some good dudes here but the one or two guys with all the crazy REAL knowledge got banned. i guess I'm just glad there are any knolwdgable guys left on here.
