No, I don't do it for a living im only 16, but its alot better than bagging groceries at a Publix . If you guys wanted to know what I want to do though when I get out of highschool is go into the Air Force and be a pilot. __________________ Nick 1995 BMW 318iC.

It's actually quite amusing, they love me I hate them. And I am beginning a job as a bartender very soon... Of course there are things on teh side, but can't get into those details... __________________ RIP Tonka Hitlerietta 08/03/04 - 01/25/05 | | | 10-07-2005, 05:57 AM | #15 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Iowa Posts: 54 | i run a dismantling & used parts business full time. lots of getting dirty. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
