Well... for starters, I'm Emilie, originally from NY, but I currently live in PA.  I'm 24, and for the last 4 years, I have been helping my boyfriend run his performance shop.  We specialize in the Mitsubishi 3000GT and Stealth, but dabble in everything.  I run more of the office end of things, sales, errands, etc, but I do get my hands dirty from time to time and absolutely love it! ;-)

Let's see... I'm 5' tall, and always wear heels to compensate for it.  I impulsively buy cars and parts like most girls buy purses and shoes.  Coach purse?  Nah... I'll take those shiny turbos though!  I have a seriously bad addiction, and I should probably seek professional help for it.   So I guess you can say I'm not your typical girly girl... although I do my best to look the part.   I'm not really sure how many cars I currently own, but I do know that 95% of them currently aren't running.  

Now, my prides and joy... I have an Orchid Pearl 1996 Stealth R/T... one of only 8 R/T's produced in that color... she's got 267k miles and running strong. 

I also have a 1995 3000GT Spyder retractable hardtop.  It's currently down for the count while we install a built engine, beefed up transmission, some turbos, and an AWD conversion, along with a widebody kit, and fresh paint.

As for my attraction to Bullrun... well, my friend Jackie, Brooke, and I were contacted by the casting crew back in 2006 through our Myspace pages, and told that they desperately needed a girls team that actually knew about cars. Well... they came to the right girls!!  We know our shit!  Unfortunately, Jackie could not get her video in time, so, Brooke and I auditioned together.  We made it out to LA for the final interviews, and were hours away from having my modified 98 3000GT VR-4 picked up, when we received the call that they decided to go a different route and chose a different team instead... Team Scion.  And we all know how well that worked out!! HAHA  ;-)

So, I'm back again for a second round!  Although, currently co-driver'less, I may be forced to sit back until season 4.  We will see though... we pulled together for season one with 3 days notice... so... you just never know!! 

And I will say this right off the bat... the picture of me in jail was for a fundraiser!!! HONEST! haha
