I am a giver.
I give money for all sorts of parts to Porsche, Performance products, some of you guys, and mostly to my mechanic.
I am soon to retire to sunny Florida. I sold toys to Toys R Us, KB, Amazon,Pennys and Woolworth when they were in business. Yes, I will take the cars with me. That is why I bought a house with a large garage.
Okay who is from or around Palm City Fl. Hands up so I can see you.

Well i'm a 15 year old teenager, never did drugs, drank takila once, decide im never going to drink, can't smoke cause i have ashma. I work with my dad and mom. I plan on doing auto mechanics. Learned body repair from my mom. (Her family does this stuff as a hobby there that good.) Dad taught me about laving and milling, i mill stuff down and lave stuff (We have a machine shop right next to my garage so we can go over and make stuff for the car if we need it. Also do minor gun repairs with dad (Ma and Pa are the local Gunsmiths/store.) I'm really good at taking AK47 a part and back together (Big fan of AK's own one infact.) and that what i do, don't plan on going to collage, Just going to be a good old blue colar person.

Here's some good advice, from someone who's been a good old blue collar person for a while.
GO TO COLLEGE WHILE YOU CAN.

as someone who's currently in college, AGREED
for many reasons, not the least of which being its a great time and a chance to learn things that you'll never really get again.
And even if all you want to do is be a "nice blue collar guy", nowadays, you really need a college degree for that. I worked in an Audi service center for a while, and at least 3/4ths of the techs there were college grads (most from UTI in Chicago). I don't remember exactly how much more they made, but it was something on the order of twice as much as the guys who had just picked up mechanics along the way.
not to mention that college is fun as shit...ever see the movie animal house?

I totally agree, it's so hard to go back when you have responsibilities

I work 10hrs/wk and still earned 40k so far this year.
Keep your sights high and even if you dont reach that far at least it will be higher than if you didn't try.

I work for the BBC in Nottingham, I'm a TV news director.
I'm also a part time snowboard instructor.
I spend too much time under my car and not enough time behind the wheel!
Porsche I have had: '89 944 2.7, '92 968 lux, currently attempting to fix '81 series2 931 and run an '85 2.0lux as a daily driver.
Love taking pictures, love watching films, love driving to snowy places and sliding down them... 
EDIT:
Forgot that I also play the drums and guitar, though I'd say that I probably strum the drums and hit the guitar!
p.s. I noticed someone saying they wish they owned a porsche/vw junkyward, I feel like I already do

Hey I started out going for Electrical Engineering, I made it one semester and realized that I'd rather not so now I'm in Photography!
seanski44, Awesome, we've got another instructor here! Here's a quick question: What the largest number of students and the general age of them you've had at once? Get this, 27 students, Junior High(12-15years)...never evers  .
