Background check- age? occupation?

[smokedchevy]

I was just curiously thinking to myself. Some of have over 2000 posts(Sky, Unit 5302) and were all dumping tons of money into automobiles like it grew on trees. How old are you guys and what are your occupations? I am a poor college student working at Toys "R" Us. I am 23 years old and am trying to get a bachelors degree in Health Administration and eventually apply to Med school. I love Fords and would love a nine second mustang, but that will have to wait till later in life. How about you guys???

Well I am 23 years old (24 B-day 6/30 ) I do estimating and CAD drawings for a Rotary Diecutter/Fabricator and 3M Preferred Converter. I just bought my first house last August, with my fiance, and plan on getting married next year.

Here's the trick I learned to save money for the parts, while I was going to college and living at home I was still working here on Second SHift, college during the day. Now that was tiring and hard at times but I was able to work 40-60hours and still pull a 3.25 GPA, and I was able to put lots of cash away. Now I was use to going out and buying what ever I wanted then I moved out, and reality settled in, rent etc.. so I had to put money away every week and not touch it. I do the same thing with now that I have a mortgage, put money away every week and that way even though it may take a while I will be able to do the mods I want. Don't worry man finish school that is the most important and find a good job, you will be able to do the mods you want. Make plan and stick to it, you don't have to try to do the motor, suspension all at once.

Previous mustang gave way to family oriented vehicle or two or three back in '92. Now that my finances are more stable I'm getting back into it.

I'm 39, Manager of Operations at a company in the entertainment field. I've always wanted a Mustang GT ever since I sold my 69 Camaro SS350 22 years ago. Well, my kid is grown up, finances are in order, so 4 years ago I finally bought a used '86 GT convertible. It started out innocently enough, Flowmasters for the rumble, then got beat by a couple ricers so the headers and 2-1/2" H-pipe went in. Then the oil pressure dropped - mains were shot, so I picked up a new long block with a Cobra intake. Mass air conversion was next. Still not fast enough, so a cam and roller rockers went in. Now all that just got moved into a 93 GT. And on and on, $100 here, $200 there... I do all my own work except for welding (for now) so that saves me some.
