Some of you may already know the newest member of the SoCal/Hawai'i chapter of FTE. Tell us a bit about yourself and your truck, _J_.

 

Besides our "handles" we also usually sign at least our first (real) name, too.

Jessie, right?

wOOt!

Ummmm....NO. JESSE! Last time I checked, I'm not a girl (although I sit down to pee sometimes, lol! J/K!)

Ok........here it goes! I'm gonna put it all out there so don't get pissed.

Well....for those of you that don't know, I'm currently employed by the California Highway Patrol and working out of the West Valley Office (Woodland Hills). I'm a car fanatic and can/will fix anything out there. I lived in Sacramento prior to my graduation from the Academy in December and I plan on transfering to Santa Cruz come April.

I own about 5 vehicles, but only have one down here in L.A., a 2005 Honda S2000. My dad and I acquired several vehicles over the 10 years I've been working on cars and I gradually fixed them up to what they are today. The majority of them are stock, but have rebuilt engines/transmissions and are in great and reliable shape.

I'm currently engaged to a gorgeous girl I've been dating for 5 years and I asked her the day I graduated. We are getting married on September 20th(I know...don't do it, haha).

I'm pretty easy going and very friendly, I love Ravioli and the color yellow, and I enjoy long walks on the beach.....with my dog Duke.

Here are some pictures of the beasts......

Hey Jesse! Welcome to the fray that is the So Cal/Hawaii Chapster.

Usually we have to pry info outta guys!!

Anyway, hopefully we'll see you at a GTG soon and I can help you out by taking that worn out old Bronco off of your hands. It sure seems to be taking up a lot of room in your yard and I would not want your BTB to get upset. I'm here to assist!

What do you do for the CHiPs, if I may ask?

 

You're some kind of a gear-head! The land shark looks awesome - cutouts? I love it.

Thanks for putting up the pics -

 

Welcome Jess, you're going to fit in here perfectly.

 

Aww thanks guys. Good luck getting the Bronco away from my dad. We have one of each type of car, work truck, 4 x 4, gas saver truck, gas saver cars, little work truck, and a boat....what more could you need? LOL.

I'm just an Officer right now, n00b.....just started Dec. 21st. I do have Street Racing/BAR Emission and Illegal Engine Mod Certifications though, so I can get down on some import fever, haha.

I forgot the best picture, lmao!

 

Did he try to sell you some land?

 

Lol nope...he was too busy staring at Kathy Ireland (who is still hot btw).

BTW....are the forums always this slow? I have to refresh two or three times just to get it to load (kinda like MySpace).

 

There's been some server issues for the last day or two from what I understand. Also, this is a huge site. There's 1350 people on line right now, and almost 500k registered users.

It's usually a lot quicker than it is right now.

 

Sorry about the spelling, Jess. That's a mistake I can fix!

Now I see why you so quickly whipped out the camera at our last G2G. You ALWAYS have it at the ready! You catch some neat photos in your line of work. That little Mazda sure looked sorry after Summer's guy got done bringing it back up to the roadway.

It must also be nice to be able to out-gearhead the riceboys, too. With your background, those certifications must have come easy to you. Given what you know, the state got a good deal hiring you.

what is that a prom picture of you with ponch? you sure are close together...and you look so happy

that s2000 is awesome!

and that boat is sick!

 

Welcome to the site! i really enjoy reading about your adventures!

 

Welcome in. Thanks for keeping our highways safe. I'm always glad to see you guys on the road. I'm the one in the old truck and camper that nobody wants to get stuck behind.

 

Welcome to the site Jesse!
Thanks for serving! Awesome toy collection!
