What's with the name "DazeCars"

My Story:
I fell in love with
classic cars when I
was just a kid. I loved the sleek lines, lustrous shine, and
raw
power under the hood. Every time I saw one, I knew that I had
to
own a classic car. My first car of choice was a 1963 Corvette
with the split tail window and a 427 under the hood. Upon
further
investigation, $20,000 for a non-running Corvette that still needed to
be restored was not quite in my budget. I turned my focus to
a
car with similar lines, just as much class, and one tenth of the price,
the Ford Mustang. I bought my first Mustang, a 1964-1/2, in
April
of 2000, spent the next 8 months restoring it (kind of) and it has been
my daily driver ever since. I acquired my second Mustang, a
1966, when I married my wife in June of 2001. She came with
the
car; I mean the car came with her. Just after we
got
married, my wife and I decided to start a family. In August
of
2001, I bought a 1962 Galaxie 500 to provide us with a much needed
family car. I have gone from having little-to-no experience
in
car restoration, to having quite a bit, but still have lots to
learn. I cannot take credit for most of my car restoration
knowledge because it has come from books, websites, and
forums. I
love cars and I love learning. Yes, I am still quite fond of
the
63 Corvette, but I love the cars I have and the cars I don’t
have
(yet).
