Hi,
my name is Torry Skurski. I began my interest in cars from the day I
was born. My dad worked for Ford Motor Company until I was two years
old, at which time he accepted a position as a District Service Manager
for Nissan Motor Corporation. As a DSM for Nissan, my dad was always
bringing home various Nissan models to drive. My mom always had a company
lease car. Every car I ever remember my parents driving was a Nissan.
From Sentras to Z’s, Pulsars to Q45’s, I lived Nissans every
day.
In
1995 my parents bought me my first car, an ’81 210. As any car
enthusiast did with their first car, I detailed it to no end, fixed
all its problems, and drove that car everywhere. In 1998, I bought a
’98 200SX SE-R (with the help of my parents). I also enrolled
at Minnesota State University to attend their Automotive Engineering
Technology B.S. program.
In
school I learned that I didn’t know anything. I learned so much
in school about cars. I learned how to truly work on my car. It was
the first time I felt comfortable working on any component of my car.
In December of 2001, I bought an ’02 Sentra Spec V, finished my
classes, and headed to the University of Central Florida where I began
my M.S. degree (which is uncompleted).
It
was there, in FL, that I really started to meet some serious Nissan
enthusiasts. It seemed like every week that I was helping somebody out
with there car, or vice versa. I only attended one semester at UCF before
I moved back home to Atlanta, but I learned a lot those 6 months working
on cars.
Since
then I have worked various jobs including Nissan dealers, race teams,
and warehouses. I also spent 2 years working for Precision Tool
Repair, where I gained a full understanding of nearly all types of
electric motors, pumps, and small gas engines. Currently, I work
at Motorsports Authentics (The Nascar merchandising company) as an
Inventory Manager.
In
my spare time, I continue to contribute to this site as much as I can.
I try to attend all the big events that we do, and try to make sure
the website is always up to date. That is something I foresee myself
doing until the day I die.
