Default In Atlanta GA, From 70's bare bone to 00's luxury

Hey everyone! I have always lived in Georgia but I love traveling, Euro style, and horsepower.
I grew up dreaming of mustangs and Ford GTs but inherited a 73 VW Beetle as my first car. I did a full restoration on it from age 13 to 18 with less and less help from my dad as I got better and better.
Then I wrecked it and my dad picked out a '01 Passat 1.8T that I later discovered was a parts car, (the driver seat wasnt even bolted to the rails as I discovered under braking lol). Nope!!!
I sold that and got my dream car, an '02 mustang GT! I wrecked it after a month of hiking across New Zealand and got out of the car scene.
Years later I revived my Bug into a VW Hot Rod (fenderless) for my daily driver, got married had a surprise kid, got a big boy job fell in love with Jaguar and BAM!
Bought an XJR and now fight the daily temptation to buy a bigger supercharger lol
From 50bhp and 1 electric wire to 400hp and a billion wires!
