Well since this is the first thread for our new chapter I figure a good way to start out might be introductions.

I'm Pete and I'm from Wallingford. I'm 16 and won't have my license until March due to the state's new laws. I brought the truck in my avatar and signature home the last Monday of December. I bought it at a small used car lot in Rhode Island for 7,300$. My dad owns a small construction/sitework company that I'm very involved in. We just hired our first full-time employee in August. We aren't one of the more wealthy companies. We run old equipment, but it gets the job done. I've been driving Ford trucks since I was 8 years old. A Ford F350 with an old 7.3 diesel was the first vehicle I ever drove solo.

What's everyone think of the snow we're supposed to be getting tomorrow? I'm thinking I'll get the day off school, which means I get the day ON work. Mainly running an old nasty GMC plow truck cleaning up around our base of operations in East Haven.

It's probably pretty cheap. Just like everything from China. But it's probably full of lead.

You should've seen my school near the Superbowl when the Giants played the Patriots. It wasn't too pretty.

None of the above. This is me when watching football.

I play soccer for my school. (it's a coed team )

And the only sport I watch is baseball. I'm a Boston fan. In CT if you go to the northern half of CT it's all Boston fans. My area is split 50-50 maybe 60-40 sox/yanks. Once you get closer to the Stamford area it's all Yankees fans.
