    I just got into clay barring, machine polishing and sealing this past summer. Spent 48 hours reworking the paint on my car. Every inch just about. Maybe we can share some tips :D

    I do detailing on a semi-professional level... I can achieve professional results but not within a professional time. Given that, I can say I have good knowledge on the subject.

    Feel free to ask me tips on detailing anytime.

    Hello, I'm Matt.

    So ya, here is the story of Matt. I started playing guitar at age 16. By age 17 I figured I was going to be a rock star & didnt need school anymore. So, I dropped out and fully dove into the world of sex, drugs, more sex, and rock & roll. By age 20, I found out the hard way that lots of sex earns you kids before you're ready for them, lol. So... with no schooling and no work experience I found myself going from one min wadge job to the next to try to support my first and then second kid. But I feel i did the right thing and the best i could for them at the time, including giving up on my dream to 'make it' in the music world. But life can be cruel, and the mother of my first 2 kids & I split.

    But life has a way of working itself out, and I met my current girlfriend. Been with her going on 9 years now, and we also have 2 children together. But early on we made a deal. Witch ever of us that can find the better job will work, while the other stayed home with the kids. For a few years we traded back & forth, but then she landed a good job with room for advancement, and since then I've been a stay at home dad. I dig it, get to fill my life with plenty of hobbies (such as gaming, photography, playing guitar, and other odds & ends).


    I'm now 35, and while some people look at me with contempt, or think I'm some sort of freeloader, I feel like my life couldn't be better. Not working and still having everything you need to live is extremely liberating, and I wouldnt trade all the time I get to spend with my kids for anything in the world :)

    pretty much, mate. :) i went and built my own rig with an Xonar Essence stx soundcard, Sennheiser hd650's, a DAC, then finally my Schiit Lyr tube/SS combo amp. not enough to justify an all .flac collection, but it sounds bloody sweet to me.
    if any of you need some music suggestions for whatever reason, feel free to hit me up, as i love sharing. :) metal's mostly my thing, including industrial and classic rock, as well as Stoner rock/metal [yeah, it's actually a genre, believe it not.] i'm not so much into stuff you'd hear on the radio, as there's so much more out there, and music really is the light of my life.
