I'm just curious/nosey about the occupation/profession of the guys/gals who own a Camaro v6 (or two).

Let's start with me: Work for a Bank (BofA) and still a college student.

still in college....

saving for 350 swap......

 

Well my car was swapped from a 6....

I work overnight at TARGET at around 9 dollars,Bought my car with 5 months at Target and now saving for parts... its taking too long~

 

I'm a full time student in High School...man does saving for parts take a while...

 

Nothing like a good thread to make a guy feel old.

I'm a systems tech for one of the largest pipeline companies in the country. I work with process control and instrumentation, as well as mechanical repairs on large pumps and industrial electrical systems. In a nutshell, I play around gasoline all day.

My off hours are spent helping my son work on his '86 2.8 powered Camaro when it needs it. When I'm not doing that, I'm trying to get things ready to put my speedboat back together, and when I get finished with that, My '71 Charger needs my attention. The wife said she needed a few things done too, maybe after the Charger is done

I'm a server at Pizza Hut, do computer work (ANYTHING) on the side, and also do tune ups, and help friend's work on their vehicles.

Pizza hut - $2.15/hr + tips (Generally bringing $250-$300/wk)
Computer Tech - $35 service call, $15/hr + parts, and build computers + set them up. Made $200 this week doing that.
Tune Ups - Right now just for the experience, and helping out - Good Karma kind of stuff. Just price of parts

THIS HAS TAKEN 2.1/2 YEARS TO COLECT SO FAR working my *** over the summer and saving every penny during the school year.i pray that by the end of the summer i will have my camaro with my motor in it!

 

Well, i am 23, working full time during the day, and going to school full time at night.

I work for a small ministry in chicago, i am the network admin.(35000 yearly)

I make more than enough money to pay for my car and mods, but add in rent,GF, and gas and insurance for 3 cars, it adds up quick.

But i did manage to have it painted, get the wheels i wanted. And have finally got enough money to put my L98 in.

 

19 here, and just finished first year of college. workin overnight stocking at Lowe's, $8.17/hr, not bad. I'll be leaving the v-6 ranks soon though...with the amount my car will sell for, plus the money i have saved up so far, I have $5400 right now.....2 more paychecks (4 weeks) and I'll have an '88 Z in my driveway

 

I work as a Lot Boy for a local Pontiac Dealership. My job includes detailing new and used cars, unloading, driving customers etc...

 

wow, hollywood video pays me 7.50 hr. i feel lke a jerk. also firebird joe. you kick ***. i want your job.

 

I'm 24 and am in college studying computersI'd like to get into an automotive tech industry though (one can only dream). Again, I work at Bank of America, making $9.00Hr. I work from 25-35hrs a week. If I'm not fixing my car, I'm usually putting something new in it. But most likely I'm fixing it.

This is great guys...keep'em comming.

-Akshay

 

i think i take the spot for crappiest hours. 40 hours a week, M-F 3:00am-12:00pm

 

Daily task... Users try to break thier computers as fast they can and I try to fix them faster then they break them. It's a never ending battle that I rarely win. Well at lest that what it feels like when you are the only person supporting a little over 800 users.

 

well im 16, im a rising junior, im workin for a HVAC company..mainly do the runnin around, i work 40 + hours a week for $7 a hour, they pay for my gas in my car. when i turn 18 im going to be a electrician, i also spend the spare time i get driving 20 miles to see 2 of my best girl-friends..lol thats kinda funny. for instnace today, i dorve about 250 miles, then came home changed cars and drove another 40, almost right back to where i was to begin with

 

Im 18, almost 19. I graduated last year and i work a BOS moving company for $8.50 and hour, and $11.00 an hour overtime.

I work roughly 12 hours a day, so thats 8 hours of normal pay, and 4 hours of overtime. Which leaves me with usually 3 days off a week, and 55 hours a week total.

At the end of the week, i am ussually raking in around $490 - $550

Its very very hard work, but is also pretty enjoyable. (when its not humid outside)

 

i am 18 years old. I paint industrial equipment (mainly forklifts), i've been where i am now for just over a year and i worked at an automotvie body shop before that for about 2 1/2 years. making $10.50/hour now plus any side jobs i do.

edit: oh yeah, just graduated high school and getting ready for college. if i'm not at work or working on my car, i'm probably out at the race track!

 

26, computers, constantly staring out of the window and wishing I was at the beach

 

hollywood video is not my career. i am @ community college going for a two year degree, then i amgoing to join the electricians union and they are going to pay me to learn to be an electricioan for the next five yaers. thn i will be making 35-40 hr with advancement oportunity. also. i will be getting a raise at work next week. 7.50 an hr now!!! wohoo

 

im gonna be going to apprentaship school in 2 years to be a electrician, pays good fairly easy job, just gotta watch out and make sure theres no power to shock u..lol

 

I dont own a Camaro anymore...but....I did before and I'm still here so I'll just pretend I still count.

Full-time college student studying film and video, and I work at Irwin Research Services (teleresearch company) for a crappy $7 an hour.

 

i'm 27 years old and a mechanic. i specialize in late model GM performance, bolt ons, engine builds, and the third gen v6 headers. i have a 90 v6 RS with headers, exhaust and ported heads and a 84 Z28 with two many mods to list

 

Am I the only guy here with more than one job??

LOL... Back to school in the Fall on top of everything... dual majoring in Electrical Computer Engineering / Computer Information Sciences.

Maybe open up a speed shop with some friends on the side

I'm a workaholic. LOL... It's fun though. Just got the '74 Maverick (My girlfriend's car - what guy wouldn't want a girl that's into cars, and hot to boot? ) put back together. Converted it from points to HEI. Gotta cool down a minute, check the 'net, then hook up the coil and fire 'er up!

 

19, support technologist at a local school district, and still in college (sophomore) majoring in Computer Science: Information Systems. I also transport cars on the side for a local dealership.

 

I deliver pizzas for extra money, attend college and run a small auto repair operation called JayRok Speed Demons with my bestest friend in the whole wide world, JAY. When I'm not doing that, I'm impressing Z28 owners on the highway with a top speed of 150 + m.p.h. Yeah my car sucks in the quarter mile but, in the half mile I start to catch up to those BIG OL' V8's. We're talking stock f-bodies here people. cept for my rearend. It has 2:41 ratios. threw my speedo off till I put in the right speedo gears.

Love Rocco
