What does everyone do for a job?

Me, well... i used to manage an auto parts store until i got a job as a pscyhotherapist with a local clinic in Dakota county.

I dont start my therapist job until June. :)

I agree, the site is basic, but no need to take a shot like that. I have many ongoing projects of far greater importance. Worrying about development of a website for a car that is literally 12,000 + miles from me is not a top ten priority.

It is only to the efforts of a couple of good friends- Jeff Y. and Scott G. that I even have a website presence at all. Both of them have volunteered their time and creative effort well beyond the call of duty to assist and often provide turn key solutions despite my crazy schedules and time to reply as I travel for business.

I have yet to join you all in the work force.

Yeah, I remember that we have had this before, but we have got a lot of new members lately so it might be time again.

It is always nice to know what friends do besides the obvious we dicuss here. It can sometimes come handy when someone need to ask something not related to our cars. Not that I can think of anything besides our beloved cars.

I think I am ready for whats ahead, I hope. But only plan on getting my butt kicked as Investment Banker for couple years...then Harvard MBA program. They have some nice alumni benefits and the salaries are insane coming out. This year first year associates outta MBA programs at Goldman got nice $250,000 CHRISTMAS BONUS...so I cant imagine the rest.

But who knows, I could go out into the woods and become an artist one day.

And I remember seeing condoms with company logo's on the wrapper. Among other things...:eek: Heh, to think of a lateral-g in a different way.....

Now I take care of my 4 and 9 year old girls while Momma runs her business. I get the do the school bit, soccer, dance, girl scouts and all! I also still get to play with a few cars every now and then!

I am a machinist/fabricator for an aerospace company. The shop is more of a prototype shop so I get to do some really neat stuff sometimes. The funniest thing that I have done in the shop is..I cut a toilet seat in half (long ways) as a gag gift for some big-wig that was leaving the company, they said "this is for a man that is only half an A*S". We thought that was pretty creative.

[Richz68]

I've been selling parts to guys & gals for their cars since '89. I spent nine years at few local auto parts store chains and moved on to Summit Racingin 1998. I spent eight years there from '98-'05. I used my time at Summit as a "learning experience" to one day move on. I paid special attention to what people liked and especially what people disliked in hopes to use it one day.

That time came to me this year and I accepeted the role of General Manager of an established, well respected internet-based aftermarket parts business called "Streetrod Stuff" (WWW.STREETRODSTUFF.COM). The name lends itself to be a Street Rod specific parts supplier, but that is not the case. We are a one stop shop to get any and all parts for just about any project you throw at us.

It has been a blast so far and I fully intend to make this company a first choice for buying any parts that guys like us need for our projects.

Then I'll be doing my first 2 years of Mechanical or Chemical engineering locally then going 1.5hours north(or south depending on which university I want to go to or get accepted at) for my last 2 years.

That or heavy duty mechanical. But idealy....I'd love to get my schooling done, do some post secondary and get on with GM or some well known performance parts company doing design/ R&D. I'm the type of person that wants to build it then thrash it to see how well it works and how/where to improve it. :yes:
