JD Motors bio and history
Started by J.D. Geiger near Christmas time literally this year out of dislike for most of the new cars body lines and the fact that most of them are overpriced for the people who where born into poor families like he was. He's always been a car lover since he was a little boy and always had a vision of designing his own cars some day whether it was a redesign, an improvement over an existing design, or a completely original design of his own, he knew that some day it was destined to happen and that it did precisely.
He's already took his first car from his teen years from a basic cheap sporty car and turned it into a car that is now capable of pacing and outrunning the newer cars, his beloved Salvaged1Gdsm he named "Dirty Diana" which is a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse. He has a strong affinity to the Mitsubishi brand along with the Nissan brand thanks to a destined meeting with this cars early in life through his family whom owned a Mitsubishi Galant (his dad's car when he was in grade school) and a Nissan Altima (his grandma's car, which she still owns and won't get rid of it) (and shortly a used Nissan Sentra that his mom had bought for a stupid cheap price). Then one year for Christmas his parents bought him a Sony PlayStation in 1998 with a copy of Gran Turismo which is where he solidified his affinity with Mitsubishi and started his affinity with Nissan, his signature AWD car was the Mitsubishi GTO VR4 and his signature FWD was the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (2nd Gen GS-T), fast forward a couple years and he now has Gran Turismo 2 which is where he solidifies his affinity with Nissan that started back in '98 with the Skyline R33 V-Spec and was carried further in GT2 with the then newly released R34.
Now back to the present, in order to help get his new company on it's feet, he's starting out with economy cars that look and drive like sporty luxury cars at a fraction of the cost and a few SUV's that would make one think it's priced along the like's of Cadillac and Lexus SUV's but is priced more like of Honda or Kia SUV's. The are plans to produce proper sports cars and luxury car once the brand has established itself well enough, but until then it's mostly high value per dollar and motorsports involvement.
Recently he has decided to involve his company with motorsports involvement due to the very favorable projections for his Virtue model family that his R&D team came up with that shows guaranteed profits across all markets with the exception of his top of the line ST-R trim level due to the cars strict fuel requirements of Super Unleaded (93.1 in game, 93 at certain fuel stations in my city with 91 being the most popular for super in my area), so he's in the works with a touring car variant that will be class legal for the BTCC & WTCC and is also preparing a crate motor for those who wish to take their Virtue ST-R to the Pirelli World Challenge racing series.
