Hi I'm Ryan, 15.10, 5'3", 95lbs, and I live in unincorperated St.Louis county Mo...unincorperated just means that no one claimed us, so we don't get discounts on pools or activities in the counties around us(one of which is just 3 blocks away).
My family is all Mazda oriented really...my dad is a 20-year Mazda Master Tech, one of the best(if not the best) in the nation, he sometimes gets called to other dealerships to fix thier screwups. He is the shop forman of the dealership he works at, and he has a key to the place so he can go there any time he wants. He wants to become a teacher of his trade, but that's still several years off. He has been offered jobs at Mazda Motor Co., but they all required a move, and we can't move if we tried.
My bro is a New car prep at the showroom of the dealership where my dad works. He is awsome at it, the cars look amazing.
My mom is a house mom, but she is like the manager of our house. She keeps stuff going smoothly, and I highly doubt that I can do her job.
I am sorta a Mazda informer/historian/whatever, I'm sure if Mazda saw me they would hire me on the spot, but I'm a little too young for that. I know stuff my dad doesn't know.
I'm a shy kid in real life, I get teased a lot(from my hight to liking Mazda) just about everything that I can be teased about, I am teased about, but I'm not too worried about it cause I'm smarter and more mature than, well, all of them. I have way too much time on my hands, and at school I'm lazy and do the homework that I feel I need to do, cause I really don't care. Most of the stuff at school will not drasticly help me in life, so I just don't care about some of it. In my hours and hours of free time, most of it is spent on here, but I do bike a ton, and I'm awsome at it. I also like to set up and resetup electronics and different stuff in my room and the house...the Dell I'm on now was set up by, you guessed it, me. I'm very good at that stuff, I don't need no stinkin instructions.
Then comes our cars. My parents added together have owned more than 30 cars, 6 of which were/are Mazdas. We currently own 7, yes 7 Mazdas...well 2 are Probes, but same car different name really. My mom drives a stunning Silver/Blue '92 MPV V6. It's our mothership. We got it after out '89 MPV was totalled in '97, and we have never had any problems with it. It's mint, with 90,000 miles on it. Its been driven to the edge of insanity, and pulled through. I'm talking about going 97mph with a roof-top carrier, the 4 of us, and all of our junk on our way to Ohio for vacation last year. We were smokin', literally. The trans started overheating and was forcing oil and smoke out the back and onto the cars of the people we were getting away from. We pulled into a rest stop, dad cleaned it up, and we were off, no problems what so ever.
My dad drives 1 of 3 cars, either a Brave Blue '86 RX-7 NA, a Feista Red '88 323 SE Hatch, or a black '93 Probe GT, all are mint condition.
My bro drives a black '88 MX-6 GT. It's layed out with virtually all of the options you could get and then some. Probe GT rims, a rare digital insturment cluster, MP5 shift knob, factory Mazda CD player, factory grill with driving lights, it's very cool, but from messing with it my bro has problems with it, mostly self caused. He also has a dark silver '87 626 DX, which was transformed from an auto to a stick, and it's layed out just like his MX-6. GT 626 rims, digital dash, factory grill with driving lights, CD player, just about everything. It's currently in hibernation at my grandma's garage, and will be sold as soon as my bro can find "Someone that understands and will take care of it" lol. His newest buy is a '90(I think, I haven't seen the car yet)Probe GT, and he's currently fixing it up and it's gonna replace the MX-6 I reckon.
My car is my dad's '88 323 SE hatch. It's awsome. lots of 323LX upgrades. Always starts right away, drives like new, and is the cheapest car in the family to operate. I currently have a permit, but I am carving corners in it(my mom says I have an issue with slowing down for turns...there's no issue, I don't slow down, I just turn and the 3 turns, no muss no fuss, no noise or loss of control, it's a gocart). I'm hoping to get a MX-3 GS, my dad has a Probe 2.5V6 in the garage waiting to go into one, but the 2 that we almost had(both had major engine problems and were at my dad's shop)were fixed and not for sale(although they were but then the owners decided to fix them)1 was a white and an auto(so already I didn't want it) and the latest was black and a stick(but I don't want a black car). 1 will come to us eventually, I hope sooner than later. I'll keep you informed if there's another that comes up.
Ohh and I own both PSX and PS2, GT1, GT2, and GT3, Driver 1&2, and GTA3 just to name the big ones. I'm awsome with hybrids, need help just ask.
That's about it...long enough?
I'm about 5'8" tall and weigh about 140 lbs.
My interests are looking at hot girls
, listening to music, playing video games, computers, and coming here to GTPlanet.
I'm starting high school next month.
