New member saying hello from Southern California

[PTADO]

Hello to everyone! Just joined up on the forum because like many, I am in hopes of reserving a Model 3. Looks like this is a great community and I can't wait to learn everything I can.

Little background: I'm a 34 year-old father of two. Currently drive a 2010 Mitsubishi Evolution MR, which I plan on keeping even after the hopeful Model 3 purchase. I drove my first Tesla (Model S) four days ago and fell deeply in love. I live in Southern California (Los Angeles area) and have my whole life. I currently work at a body shop and have been in the insurance and body shop industry combined for the past 9 years. If you ever have any questions regarding vehicle repairs (not just specifically Tesla) or insurance clarifications, you can pm me any time.

Anyway, thanks for having me! :smile:

Well that makes two of us. I'm in South Pasadena as well! I normally just put Pasadena as a reference point because anyone else but local-body doesn't even realize it has it's own zip code. Haha. I'm sure I'll see you around town at some point, I'll keep a look out for the plate. I'll be the guy waving from the obnoxious white Mitsubishi.

You'll notice my location shows SoCal for the same reason. I think there are around 5-6 Tesla's in South Pas that I know of, only 2 P85D's, NoMoDinos & mine. I no longer have that plate; I wanted to be more anonymous as I race around the streets .
