Whats your family(back ground) nationality

I'm bored, so just out of curiosity,i was wonderin if fast cars (speed) was in the genes (Blood)!

I'll Start.. Im Canadian (Italian)....My parents came to Canada from Italy in the 50s.
Maybe some sort of pattern will emerge from this !

I'm a mut. 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Scottish from my mom, the rest is Russian, German, Jewish, Polish, Czechoslovakian, Italian I think, and that is what my dad remembers. Both sides of the family came in through Ellis Island and stayed in Long Island. Try growing up with a Catholic mom and unreligious Jewish dad. My life could of been a poorly rated sitcom lol. I do attribute my mechanical skills to my heritage. The abilities of the Russians, Germans, and Italians may have contributed mainly, and the Scottish side too. I understand engines and machines in general better than most and learn it very easily. Plus my dad has a degree in electrical engineering, he is very good at his job as a technical writer. He has also been building cars since he was a teenager, and preferred driving old cars just for the fun of having to fix them up first. I believe it is passed in the genes.

Mixed grill here.

I have heritage from Germany, Scotland (Last name came from Scotland), France, and the Choctaw Native American tribe. I'm also half Vulcan and 100% southern country boy.

(I bled the French blood out with leaches, most of them are too liberal for me to tolerate - or to tolerate me.)

---

I have a friend who is half English and half French. He says he never agrees with himself.


I've lived all over the globe, and have come to find that people are people no matter where you go. Some of them are really cool, and others not so much. Where you come from means a lot less than who you choose to be.

But I will say that I have more German blood than anything else, and Germany is known for roads with no speed limit.
