The Car Team

The car team is a very interesting one, to say the least...

 It consists of James Gilleran, Brandon Cyr, Brandon Young, T.J. Gerich and Megan Michaud.

 

James Gilleran- The lazy biodiesel dynamo. The kid's got smarts; genuine knowledge of all things mechanical.We are glad to have him to lead the way.

Brandon Cyr- Ah, Cyr. His main job is to sand the old paint off the car, and hear you me, he is a sanding God. When he's not sanding away, he's entertaining the people around him.

 

Brandon Young- The other Brandon. Unlike his humorous couterpart, Young is always working hard. He helps with the sanding, the engine, the stereo, and the interior. He can do it all. Wherever they need him, he's there. He was also the donor of the speakers for the car's sound system. Don't be fooled, he is not all business. Young has his very silly moments, as well.

T.J. Gerich- Gerich is the king of goofing off, but in the end, he gets the job done. He was adament about putting the sound system in the car, and just two days ago, he finished it. Not only will the car look good, but it will sound good, as well. Thanks T.J.!

Megan Michaud- The only girl on the car team, but don't feel so sorry yet, Michaud can hold her own. Not only is she an intense bio-naut, she often outshines the guys in her mechanical skills. Girl power!

NOTE: Each of the memebers of the car team were among the first to finish their biodiesel productions.

They work day in and day out fixing up our 1985 Mercedes that runs soley on biodiesel. They've taken apart the engine, painted its components, repaired the interior, and even added a sound system. As of right now, the team is preparing the car for a "re-paint" job. It was painted back in 2008 when we first got it, but the paint is fading and chipping. It looks rough.

The team works with our local NAPA store, and they have been very helpful. We are so greatful for all of their tips and assitance with one of the most important aspects of our class. Soon we will be doing a profile soley on our NAPA friends. Keep checking back to learn about the people who have given us a ton of help.
