He has been working on cars professionally since he was 15 years old and has held numerous management positions at different auto parts stores in the New England area.

At some point Mike hopes to own a '67 Corvette, with a 427, for cruising around, as well as a '66-'67 GTO for his 1\4 mile car. He probably knows more about '60's era Pontiacs than anyone except his father Merle. Mike is a family oriented person who enjoys anything with a motor whether it flies, drives or floats.

Jeremy's custom work with fiberglass and metal fabrication has set him on fire more than once, but has not doused his passion to know everything there is to know about cars.
