Hey Guys, I'm Peter, if you didn't get that from my username here :D . I'd give you my last name, but it's long and hard to pronounce (ok, ok, My last name(S) are Vrcelj-Nikolic)

Right now, I'm 15, and have no cars that I have owned. My parents (mom & stepdad) don't even want to let me use my savings to get a project car, or anything like that. This is sad, since I really like tinkering on cars, like I have with my dad & uncle.

background: I grew up in southern Europe. There, at the age of 13, I learned how to drive a car with my dad! I started on an Opel astra 1.4, then I moved down to a '90 VW golf II diesel, then a '93 B3 Passat TDi sedan, then a few other cars, and now I drive a jetta that I share with my mom. I've always been a VAG fan. I'm not saying they're the best cars in the world, but VW's (also audi's and porsches) have a special place in my heart.

Fun fact: I can only drive stick. Automatics are impossibly boring to me. I also do not feel safe in a car equipped with an autobox, since I do not trust it to make the correct decisions when accelerating/merging. I'll drive one in a pinch, or if it's a High-performance one, such as a DSG, but If I can help it, I'm staying far away from slushy autobox cars.

This is me, from early 2011, in a big 'ol Lincoln Navigator!

Vrcelj-Nikolic sounds like a Serbian name, I might be wrong, if so please tell me and I'll delete my comment. Anyhow, nice to meet you Petar :) May you one day be able to buy your dream car and tinker all you want.
