Brandon Pursley mobs his Third-gen just like downtown
When you sign on for the ride, you probably think you have some idea of where the ride is going. But then again, you might not. Maybe you were lied to. But if it’s just that it turned out to be a little rougher than what you had in mind maybe no one would blame you if you quit.
Brandon Pursley never had any notion that it wouldn’t turn out well. He’s been fooling with cars since he was a child, beginning and practicing at his father’s trucking company. He says he has never worked in a position that didn’t involve cars, so it was contingent upon him to learn the angles and anticipate the pitfalls.
This is how he tells it: “In 2000, I was going to quit my job and was travelling to an interview when I spotted this car with a “for sale” sign on it in a parking lot. I had seen it before at a drag racing event. It was my mental dream car. I never went to the interview,” he said. “I went straight to the bank, and paid the owner his asking price. I stayed at my automotive job, which led me to my current career and family.”
