Woodsie's Garage

A garage is not just for cars. For me, it is a haven for happiness, frustration, success, failure, education and introspection. You may not know it by looking at it, but this garage is full of opinions, ideas, theories, stories, and fun from my lifelong adventures with people and machines alike.

About Me

My photo
F1FanWoodsie
I'm currently working with nonprofits as a program and event coordinator, but I love to follow Formula 1 and IndyCar. I'm a freelance motorsport journalist and have covered F1, Indy, ALMS, NASCAR and more. I recently received my Master of Public Health, a BS in Neuroscience and spent a couple years in med school. I also enjoy antique cars and restoration. I've been working on cars all of my life, and I enjoy every minute of it. Working on old cars has taught me so much about myself more so than about the cars themselves, and that's what really draws me to doing it. When it comes to current restoration, I'm beginning work on a 1910 Maxwell Q3 and finishing up on a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette. I have a thousand side projects, but for now I'm focusing on those two as best I can. I just finished restoring my dad's 1966 Honda S90 and am writing this blog partially as a journal for the restoration activities and techniques I've learned in The Garage over time.
