Hello from West Virginia

**Eraser** · 01-30-2008, 01:16 PM

Yep, another new guy here. I came across Autopia a few days ago, registered, and really enjoy reading the discussions. Actually my girlfriend says I`m addicted to Autopia because ever since I joined the only thing I`ve done is sit in front of the computer with Autopia in the browser. Anyway, my name is Anthony and I live in Wheeling, WV. I`m 40 years old and have been working in the IT field for the past 15 years. I`m tired (probably burnt out) of the day to day routine of this field and am thinking about making a change. I use to love spending hours, if not the whole day, cleaning my vehicles and I`m seriously thinking about looking into starting up a detailing business here in my area.

Anyway, I wanted to say hello and that I look forward to becoming active in this community.

Welcome!

I am from Weirton. Been down here in GA since 1990.

Thanks for the welcome. You need to come on back to WV. I`ve looked around and it appears like we can use a quality detailer up here in the northern panhandle.

Welcome to the forum, stick around, you`ll learn a lot.

Wierton is quite a ways from Wheeling... I`ve been to both places. I`m from a little town called Elk Garden, WV. Went to college in Fairmont,WV; lived/worked/partied in Morgantown!! I`m in PA right now, but seriously trying to move back to WV!!

I guess living in GA for awhile would make you spoiled and warm blooded. Its about 27 out right now and earlier today the wind was blowing like crazy...strong enough to sway our communication tower in our parking lot. I guess if I had the choice I`d stay in GA too.

jshillin - Weirton isn`t that far away from Wheeling...about 35 to 45 minutes. Its in the northern panhandle so its like a neighbor to me. I know what you mean about Morgantown. I grew up in southern part of WV and back in my college days a bunch of us would drive up to Morgantown just to party for the weekend.

Yep, I had an ex girlfriend that went to college in Wheeling, been there a few times.
