tpollauf is our June 2011 MOTM
Name: Timothy PollaufAge: 52Occupation: Mechanical Engineer, Field Service Mechanic working on commercial HVAC systemsCurrent rides: '92 F-150, 09 Vibe GT, 09 G8 GT (wifes car), 09 Vibe GT (son's car), 07 Chevy Express work van (Honeywell leases this one). Prior rides ........................... too many to list but my first car was a '73 Plymouth DusterCongratulations on being voted GenVibe’s Member of the Month. How does it feel?Awesome! It's nice to be recognized by others out there who know I'm a car enthusiast and am here to help out all of those that I possibly can.How did you find GenVibe?I believe it was through GoogleWhat made you join?I joined after I saw how friendly and helpful the members were to each other and those who needed their help. I wish I would have joined earlier OR even prior to me purchasing my Vibe so I could have been even more informed.How long have you been a member?1-1/2 yearsWhat is your favorite thing about the site?The wealth of knowledge others have about Vibe cars. Also the friendliness they offer when visiting the site. The humor at times really gets me rolling also!As you know we love animals at GenVibe, do you have any pets?"Kirby" who is a new addition to our family. He is a Scottish Terrier and is now six months old. The photo of him & I is when he was 3 months old. We've had Scotties for 23 years & counting so I'm pretty much stuck with that breed.What is your Dream Car?'69 Camaro Z-28If you won $1,000,000 tax free what would you do?I'd start off with getting a bigger garage with an attached house. This way I could store & work on MANY projects that I only can dream about now due to space constraints. I'd then secretly surprise a lot of worthy people out there who could use a little financial help to get back on their feet.What’s your favorite?:Movie: Slap ShotFood: Any authentic Mexican dishColor: RedTV show: Home Improvement (Tim Allen) yep, another TimGame: PictionarySeason: FallSport: HockeyHobby: Modifying ANYTHING. Most recently experimenting with LED technologyBook/Magazine: Any owners manual/trade journal pertaining to any mechanical piece of equipment. I've never read ANY book out there to this day and probably never will.Person: My wife. She's tolerated me for 23+ years and is still by my side.Any last words: I've been a mechanical buff my entire life. If it was somehow put together, then I can take it apart and possibly make it better. I've been blessed with many opportunities over the past 35 years or so which have shaped the person I am today. Growing up I never had much so it motivated me to "build it" instead of buying it. This in turn taught me to appreciate all the hard work people do no matter what craft it is from. I self taught myself just about everything because I wanted to learn how things went together and why. When it comes to cars I've pretty much done it ALL. Engine & transmission rebuilding, auto body, upholstery (got a nice Pfaff 545 in my basement), painting, electrical/electrionics, etc. In my current work environment I do sheet metal work, welding, pipefitting, electrical work and anything related to the HVAC field. In my spare time I run a 196 man hockey organization http://WWW.sashl.com is our website and try to skate at least twice a week. This keeps me in shape and gives me a reason to have a few brews after the games.Info about the four pictures attached. We are a Pontiac family which shows our three 09 Pontiacs. One of my hockey teams was PINK and we did this to honor women and breast cancer. Myself holding our new pup Kirby. My 2009 Vibe GT!

You know the project was already underway when Tim pulled ahead in the poll ! Kidding, Tim. But on the serious... congrats. It seems like a lot of us that were able to make it to the Indy meet last year have had their moment in the spotlight since. It's nice to have met a lot of active and friendly members on here.
Steelies to the rescue.
