Hey guys,

Just wanted to say hello! My name is Josh and I am a huge automotive enthusiast, and have been all of my life. I have been a Ferrari nut since day 1 too. I firmly believe that Ferrari, Porsche and BMW are 3 of the greatest automotive companies ever. I'm sure ill get slammed for Porsche and BMW being on that list, but, oh well haha.

I belong to about 20 or more other car forums/clubs. So I am not new to any of this or the behaviors.

Just in case you care, I am 21 (22 in May) and am a car salesman. I was working for a local Mazda dealer in Wilmington, NC where I live, but, recently quit to pursue a job at a BMW dealership in Wilmington. I am still in talks with BMW and don't have the job as of yet. I was kind of tired of the ownership of Mazda so I decided to leave. I also own and operate an automotive website called www.RawAutos.com where I talk about everything automotive. I write quit a bit on there, 1 new article every week and sometimes I will post interesting bits of news in my news section. It is only about 4.5 months old but I love doing it since it has to do with cars.

I am also a musician. I play Guitar, Piano, Harmonica and sing. I have been playing guitar for about 8 years now and write my own stuff as well as playing Blues, Jazz, R&B, Soul and Rock. I have also studied guitar at a major music school in Tampa, FL for about a year. And I have been formally trained as a guitarist since day 1. I love talking music, playing it, listening to it or even just helping people listen to better music as well...

I personally do not own any Ferrari's. My father has had the opportunity to purchase a few but has always backed down because he just didn't want the hassle of owning one. We have had a lot of different kinds of cars though, which was always nice. Mostly Corvette's (old and new), BMW's, MB's, Chevy's, Fords and others.

I currently drive a 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 and love it. I have had 2 BMW's before -A 1996 328iS and a 2005 330i ZSP (Sport Package) Sedan- but am looking to get into another BMW, simply because I am very passionate about them.

Well, I guess that's me in a nutshell. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Also feel free to visit my site and leave comments there or on here saying your likes and dislikes.

Thanks guys,

Josh
