Just wondering how everyone here get the money to pay for their RX7's.

I am a nuclear engineer. I make sure all the safety system work properly on a new reactor design. I have done the minimum wage stuff in the past, so I know what that is like too (washing dishes, baggng groceries, being a checker at a grocery store). The 7 has served me well from high school until now (12 years). 10 of those years were in college (PhD). I am still trying to find a balance of time and money to work on the 7. When I have one, I never seem to have the other!

I might have you beat since this is a car forum. I work for the American Petroleum Institute. I inspect oil refineries across the US. They higher the price of gas, the more I get Paid! I work jobs that last about 45-60 days working 7 days a week and 12-14 hour days. Avg. pay right now is $44-50/hour and supposed to go up next year. Sorry, but I got 2 cars to feed aswell.

my buddy worked at a CAT foundry, went to wyotech, came right back to the CAT foundry. a waste if you ask me. what are you trying to do with CAT? i worked for them for two years. overall theyre a good company, but the facility i was at SSUUCCKKEEDD.

i currently work part time at advanced auto while im in college. so im broke.

no life? i work maybe 6 months of the year and play for the other half. when its time for work, I look at the overtime involved. plus its only 12 hours, plenty time to do stuff. THE ONLY BAD PART... is I dont take my car with me all the time. I dont have her now and wont see her till Thanksgiving!
