"I am a full-time student, trying to get my degree in computer science. I work for Dominos to help pay the bills, and for kicks I work as a bouncer at a local club. I also am a member of the Texas Air National Guard, one weekend a month, 6 or 10 or so weeks a year(do not believe recruiters).

I also freelance in auto repair, plumbing, and whatever else I run accross.

another Jack of all trades, master of none."

And yayarx7 is also the winner of the 100th post award!! Another good post back from the dead.

And race, that too. Seeing my ex-wife rot in hell would be a bonus. But then I'd have to be there to watch.
Wow, we have identical ambitions, except for the ex. I dont usually repeat mistakes. .

I have just finished school and I am going to uni this year to study a Bachelor of Science in Nanotechnology. My 7 is my first car and I got if off a smelly old hippy for $800 Australian with a recon engine and fully licensed. Ahahahah. I build computers for my aquaintances, love counter strike, anime is awesome, and get boners looking at import cars... well not really but it gets close.

I used to work in a pizza shop, and then a supermarket, but I am going to be a leach on the *** of society getting government money while I go to uni.

I don't either, that's why I did it right this time. This one won't ever be an "ex". Why would I get rid of a woman who stands in a cold junkyard, wearing her Nieman Marcus leather jacket , and helps pull parts. Where would I find another one?

Hey Guys,

Figure I'll throw my info in:

I'm a 2nd yr Computer Science Student at College, with only 1 yr to go. I've been working with computers since I was six years old, and absolutely love anything you can throw at me that's hardware/Operating System/Network or the like.

I work as a tuxedoed waiter for a catering company part-time, and as a telesurveyor even less often. I love waitering, I HATE telesurveying, but I need the money for my rex.

My g/f doesn't really want to have much to do with the car, but we have this deal: I'll act interested when she comes home from clothes shopping if she acts interested when I blabber on about my car.

Little does she know how much she's picking up... She can name most of the parts in my engine bay and knows what a turbo is and why it works She also knows enough to think that the guy with the quote "This is a two cyl?/Can I have my keys back" in his sig is funny!

And my Roxy's gonna be ready to go in May with any luck

Jon

I'm 36 and employed as a Bank VP (Commercial Lending).

I used to work for 'Super-Giant-Mega-Merger Bank in commercial lending but grew really, really tired of the merger BS and bureaucratic red-tape. A group of 6 other friends/associates felt the same way so we formed our own community bank in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. It's friggin' great. No red tape, no BS and I intend on keeping it that way!

This is my second 1st gen (I sold my first when I was 25-26 and have always regretted it. I intend to keep this one for a long time and appreciate the help you folks on the forum have provided thus far!

I'm 26 and I'm a service writer/tire salesman at Tires Plus. Before that I was the manager of an Autozone parts store. I've got 1 dead 7 buried under 20" of snow and 2 engines in the garage waiting for warmer temperatures to get rebuilt.
