What should I do with my life?

[1BAD89]

I wouldn't start up a mail order company. There are already way too many places that sell parts, and I think you'd be hard pressed to fit into the marketplace without offering prices that are way low, and I don't think you could build the volume.

I totally agree, Summit and Jegs will destroy you quicker than you can say......ummm Destroy? Local speed shops just can't compete with their prices. I'm kinda in the same boat as you are, trying to figure out what I want to do. I signed up for auto paint class, and I have been taking that for 3 weeks now. I would like to open up my own performance/paint/custom car shop in the future. Here's some great advice...save money, and put it in a savings account...I can't tell you how nice it is having money in the bank, it gives you all sorts of opportunies. If you open a shop, and do good work, and treat your customers right, the word will get around. It boils down to this, do what you really like to do, and if you really truly enjoy it, the money will come. People might call bs on that, but it's soooooo true.
