not having a wife or girl friend lol. i just recently became single and i've been noticing alot of my money was available now so i started working on my car again. I'm only 23 and i work as a Maintenance Technician at a 5 star 5 diamond hotel in Beverly Hills.

 

Great goal!! I'd come see you if I had problems, but--
You'd have to be rocking Queens Ryche on a kickin' system!! Lol!!!
I could pay you in gum...or a big fat juicy steak from the grill, or, if you're REAL expensive, both!! Lol!!
Best hopes to you!!

 

I am going to be the weirdest heart surgeon. Showing up to the Hospital in the car from hell blasting Queensrych "I don’t believe in love!". Then telling everyone they Need Jesus (Yup, I'm a devout Christian as well). After I get a job I'll get tattoo sleeves. That is far from the stereotypical drug dealing gangsta that people think drives these cars.

 

Sincere apology!! I hope I didn't offend you in any way!!
I like The Rez Band, & have met Glen a few times. He & his wife have been to the Church I used to go to a few times, as has Greg Volz from Petra.
They would drop by for a visit some times, & some times to jam with the worship band.
Talked to Neil Zaza a couple times. He stayed at the apartment for a few days just b4 I moved in.
Yup, I go to Church every-other-Sunday due to work schedule, & I like the edgy sounds of metal like " Babylon Is Burning " ( Rez Band )
and " Jet City Woman " I can't find my Zaza cd, but I also like his technical abilities.
Daniel Band & White Heart bring back old memories!!

 

I took no offence to anything yo said. My worship leader toured with Jethro Tull. He's not into third gens but he likes my scary paint.

 

I've actually been told people think I am a hitman cause of my car...
I actually take it as a compliment now. lol.

 

lol thats awesome ^^

anyone else??

i got a job at Lacoste and making okay money so ill be doing more to the trans am shortly

 

BA and MBA and work as a software consultant for Fortune 100 companies. Only downside is working on the cars takes forever when you're on the road 4 or 5 days a week for your day job.

Just remember to pace yourself and never disassemble until you have everything you expect to need to reassemble.

 

trying to save for my LSX/T56 swap but things keep happening with the trans am lol

wanna find a better paying/more fun job..Lacoste is cool and all but its not me..

The best things I have done financially is get a BS and then an MS. I am a systems engineer now for a large defense corporation. Hate the cubicle but the technical aspect never gets dull.

I had a roommate once that went down the FIDM path for a few years but it petered out. (I should add his college courses also petered out lol). Depends on your ultimate goal but a degree from a university will put you in a different category of career potentials.

Anyway sorry to provide some unsolicited advise, it can be annoying I know. Im not a degree snob at all and think people should do what they enjoy, but again getting those has taken me into a solid profession. I will still have to work 40 hrs a week for 35+ years, but most people probably will. Starting your own business would be the best goal I think actually, but even then a BS Business or similar is a good investment (just in case).

Good luck

 

 

Electrical engineer for for a large military and PSPC comms company.

 

My tax return money

 

Recently I've been transporting illegal immigrates across the border in exchange for copious amounts of cocaine to fund my crooked horse racing circle. Then I launder the money through international arms deals and get it back through foreign dignitaries I have befriended and bribed. Then I move the money through different countries to up the net percentage gain. Then I reinvest it in real-estate scams. But I always give 10% at church on Sundays

 

photographer / freelance... $15/hr + 8$ drive time from home to work and work to home... usually about 2hrs cause of traffic... :P + .50cent a mile that i drive. + freelance work varies... i never spend money on my Camaro stock since 1988

Very Well Said.
I am 35 years old and own a consulting company in the exotic car market, along with being a full time consultant for American Honda Corporation. As far as paying. Just get what you want. You will find a way to pay for it. Opportunity to get up and work harder.

Moon lighting in NASCAR had its advantages while that lasted- but all good things must come to an end so thjey say. Picked up alot of connections that help here and there cutting costs.

 

Technically you fund my build/mods...as taxpayers. I've been in the Navy for almost 17 years now. Kinda like other people have done, I buy parts to store in the garage and then when I get the chance I go to work on the car. It typically coincides with my sea duty/shore duty cycles. By the time I get back from the deployments, I usually have a couple thousand dollars worth of parts piled up in the garage.

 

@Black...whats your rate...I know a few of the AC's at NAS Lemoore. Well, I think they are still there.

 

I'm an AZ, but right now I'm working as an instructor at CNATTU. I know one of the AC's (Kevin) but I work over on the main side of the base, not Ops side.

 

and exactly where do you live? so i can come by with a trailer!! j/k

 

Sorry, my car does not belong on a trailer. It is a driver!

 

current funds - working 5am to 330pm 5 days a week and some weekends at an industrial plant.

Future funds - from a decent paying job I will hopefully have in 12 months once I graduate with a Mech. Eng. BS

 

MY father left me the writer rights to the country song"Please Release Me", recorded by Englebert Humperdink. So I receive a royalty check every 6 months and I get a pension from Rockwell Collins every month and receive $1821 a month from SSDI.
Oh I work part time designing circuit boards.
