I like the retail stuff because thats what keeps me in business I have my big accounts to however the small stuff is what keeps the bills paid all the big stuff is just nice to have! I tell you what so far I'm glad I opened up this shop because it's been nice being my own boss and seeing first hand how good reputation goes a long way! So far *knock on wood* reputation has been my best advertisement!

i'm a poor student... but I write code also... but i'm too 1337 to code C++ so I code java... then the rest of my time is spent writing stupid looking web pages and chmodding my life away.
amount spent on my fc: I don't really have any money, like ever. But, then again I have several FC's so I sell parts and do okay.
check out my killer PS'd sig:

Wow, a lot of coders on here. I'm a website developer/tech support specialist for clients including AT&T. Nice pay, occasional lack of actual work makes oil changes extremely cheap.

I really don't put that much money in my rx7, or any one thing for that matter. I have like the equivalent of 2 1/2 months in my rx7 right now, and 16k on the engine.

I'm 18, I'm in high school, I live with my parents.

I pay my cheap insurance ($480/yr), invest in stocks (if google keeps on doubling I can do more to my car or get an rx-8). Thats really most of all that I have to actually pay for... have to love being a dependent. Well, girls and cars.... paintball, cars, roth ira.... etc.

I work about 54 hours a week as a Lot Tech for a Mazda service shop. The OT is the only thing keeping me afloat, I spend a lot of it on my cars/beer/going out though. I save a bit doing all the labor myself and I get a little bit of a discount on parts.
