Minerva "Minnie"'s Story

Hello Everyone, I currently live in San Diego County. As you can tell by the photos, I have 3 kids. My eldest daughter just had a baby girl. She was born on Christmas evening 2011. She is so beautiful! OMG! I'm now a grandma or what I like to call myself "Nana." My son lives with my ex and just graduated from High School. He got is first job and is working at In-N-Out. My youngest lives with me. She's into Tennis and Gymnastics. She will be graduating this year. My passion in life are my children and my cars. I'm Manager at an Auto Auction. I handle customers, dealers, cars and titles. I really enjoy my job. Most of my customers are men and every now and then I get to interact with women. I've been in the automotive auction industry for 5 years and am very knowledgeable of the tricks of the trade. Men are amazed on how much I know. It's funny on how much I can retain about cars and know nothing about sports but then again, I'm a girl not a boy! I have taken several automotive classes at my local college and that's how I've learned to fix my own cars. I even worked at Pep Boys (under a work experience program) as a service technician. "Yes, I'm a girl mechanic!" I'm also a collector of cars. I own a 55' Oldsmobile Holiday 88, a 63' Ford Thunderbird, a 67' Mercury Cougar, a 67' Jaguar 3.8s, a 68 Buick Electra 225 and a 70' Chevy C20 (Custom Camper) pickup truck--"this one is already restored". I have 5 cars that are still under construction but I now have 2 daily drivers. I also own a 99' Mercedes Benz CLK320 convertible and a 2016 Mercedes C300. So in total, I owned 9 cars and I don't share. Be...Expand for more
ing manager at an auto auction makes it easy for me to get cars. My problem is I really don't have the space to store all of them. When a great deal comes across on a car, well, I just have to have it. All my vehicles are enclosed in a garage. I don't leave my babies out in the cold air or the hot sun. My truck stays with me at the auction yard. I sometimes take it home and drive around town. She's all 3/4 ton muscle, baby! I'm still looking to buy a 1959 Ford Thunderbird, a 1959 Ford Fairlane or a 60's Corvette to restore. Cars are the best thing that man has created. The technology is amazing and with the concept of newer cars, it just keeps getting better but I still prefer old cars. They have so much character and class. I'm a down to earth kind of gal. I'm happy with the simplest things in life. Don't get me wrong...I like name brand things too, like my Coach purse, my Aldo stilletos and Bulova watch but these things don't make the person. I work and save to buy the things I want. After all, when we pass we don't get to take it with us. So in the meanwhile, I'll continue driving my classic's, having my daughter in the front seat and the wind in my hair. I really enjoy working on my cars and don't have a problem getting my hands dirty. I would rather learn how to fix it than pay someone else to do it for me. So when guys ask me about my cars', I just smile and say: "Yeah, this is my car." "I'm a girl in a man's world!" With that said, "it's always nice to be the only flower in a field of thorns." "Life is too short not to enjoy every waking moment." Thank you for visiting, Minerva (Minnie)
