The Shop Truck - Blast
We’ve really seen a lot since the 1980s. Nintendo Mega Man games, dial-up Internet, Dos, and the Palm Pilot were all in their infancy as we grew up. We shared files on 1. 44MB (that’s MEGABYTE) floppy discs, and they were more than sufficient. As we grew up, the Internet blew up. Today you can stream a movie live in HD. Not only did HD not exist when we were growing up, but downloading a single, low-quality MP3 of our favorite song could take over an hour. But there is one thing that our generation did not have to grow up with — car maintenance. A lot of us are interested in cars and trucks and motorcycles — this site wouldn’t be necessary if we weren’t. Fixing cars was always something optional for us. We had to want to jack up a car and change a tire. So now that we’re adults and we’re starting to recover from the crushing debt of our student loans, (We’re very bitter about this) we are finding our interests diversifying. If we were into cars already, we are getting more into cars. Blast Cars is not exactly a beginners’ guide to the galaxy, but we’re not going to assume you know everything. We’re learning with you, and the experts we’ll bring into the process will walk both of us through everything we ever wanted to know about everything automotive. In addition to restoring our Shop Truck , we are following some other Gen-Y restoration projects, including a racing bike. Source: blastmagazine.com
