EARLY VENTURES · ADDITIONAL SOURCE RECOVERY
More of the origin story Car Tricks is now dated to 1987 above. These related early ventures are part of the history, but the exact dates and original records are still being established.
SkyPager-enabled distributed mobile sales Your early pager-coordinated ordering and mobile-commerce operations. Specific dates and technical details remain to be catalogued.
ElectronicMusic.com Early online electronic music and media work. Precise involvement, credits and dates are still being reconstructed.
About this historical record The Car Tricks founding year (1987) was confirmed directly by Tim Reha in October 2026. Other timeline records come from the original 2024 first-person event inventory, archived professional histories and the existing project case studies. A year heading identifies the starting or recorded year of a program; the visible period identifies longer engagements. Blank intervening years do not mean no work occurred.
Photos appear only when related portfolio media exists; they are not presented as proof that a particular photograph depicts the exact listed event. No generic numbered photo placeholders are used.
