aBOUT ME
Welcome to my site. I’m Kevin, but I go by kern417 on all of my social media channels. I make online content about cars, including news, technical discussions, product reviews, and DIYs.
My goal is to help people feel empowered to:
Maintain their vehicles
Plan their builds with confidence
Successfully modify their project cars to meet their goals.
I’m not a tuner. I’m not a mechanic. I don’t currently work for BMW or any OEM manufacturer. But I am an Mechanical Engineer by trade, and working on my own cars over the years as well as working in automotive in the past has brought me to the point you see today.
I have a passion for learning and teaching, and you’ll see that illustrated in my content. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope I have a positive impact on your journey.
