I am too.... I stayed all 4 years in school, but was a lazy fuck and never did homework/most classwork but always passed tests and finals... Second to last day of senior year, I was down like 2 credits (geometry and marine bio, shitty classes lol) So it was either do a year and a half of night school or drop out.... Got my ged two weeks later.

Now I can't find a job for shit because most places want years of experience for the most basic entry level jobs...

I always wanted a Buick regal with a 350 sbc, 700r4 haha.

Yea highschool was a bitch and I had a hard time finding a job as well.

Landed a full time temp job for 2 months and was hired full time perm. and stayed there for 2 years, in 1 year I reached market pay rate supposedly and went a whole year without a raise. Called it bs because I worked my ass off and knew more than the veterans. Left @ 12.50. Joined into the competitor now starting 12.50. Money's gonna come in fast.

In between those for half a year I was a hibachi/ teppanyaki chef in training- after training I would've made 20/hr to start but the boss was cheap and stupid. Minimum wage wasn worth the work. After 4 employees quit since I left. I guess I slapped some sense into them. No way was I going to work 6 days a week/10-12 hours a day for a shythead.

Congrats on the baby! Mines 4 months today.

90k a year? No wonder you can afford these ridiculously sick custom parts.

When's that MR going to get to love up to its name?

The gsr needs to become DD and the MR the project.

Thank you! That's what my friends say too but my love isn't in it. I have no desire to learn a new platform, or the time, or the money. The Evo has some bolts ons and a tune, thats it. Its reliable, its fun, its fast for a DD. Did I mention its fun? After having a broken car for the better part of 10 years, its nice to have something stockish and reliable.

Reliable 4G63.... :rolf: I guess it could be true. After all, it isn't a DSM :lol: Awesome cars when they're not broken.

How did you get into doing consulting on your own? Did you work for a firm and gain experience first?

*Beard not included
Occupation: Student - Mechanical Engineering
Salary: currently -$12000
I've got an internship for the summer at Webasto Edscha-Cabrio starting next week where I'll make about $16/hr

22 years old, single.

Cars: 4 I've owned
-97 Integra GS automatic: sold cause it was shitty
-00 Integra LS 5-speed: totaled-frame damage
-99 Integra "LS" GS-R shell with all the stuff from the LS in it. Sold
-91 Miata: Current DD

Accidents: One
Just driving around, 5 days after the purchase of my 00 LS when someone decides to make a right turn from the center lane, across 2 normal lanes, away from any intersections, directly in front of me. Didn't have time to react before T-boning the other person at 40mph.
Turns out it was a 75-80 year old lady that had no idea what just happened, or what she was doing, or why she was cutting across 2 lanes to turn right from the center lane.
