yeah the mechanic is my friends step dad. He loves building "hot rods" as he puts it. He is a licensed repair shop and he said he gets really tired of fixing things and his passion is to mod cars.

I got to talking with him about cars and he told me anytime I get a new part to bring it to his shop and he owuld let me use his tools and even do installs that i didnt know how to do. Cant beat that considering that the price for labor is just as much as the cost in parts. Almost like modding my stang for half price.

Ask him if he wants a project car, he can borrow mine for a few months and mod it with full bolt ons, gears, a fully built motor, forged, running a KB at 15psi. Hey I guy can dream cant he, LOL.

I'm only 21, bought a brand new house in Feb this past year, and then got married in May of this past year, and what do you think the wife and I are doing with all of are tax money, PAYING OF THE BILLS. I guess its a good thing, sincebills are more important, I suppose anyways, LOL. This lady pays us $100 for 3 days for feeding and giving her dogs water, and my wife took that money and put it on a credit card, oh how I was pissed, but my credit score is very good for my age and in a few years I plan to get another car and a low interest rate is gonna be nice. Good credit score FTW!!!

I really wanted to get some new rims and tires for her but I know that I need to just get the bills finished with and then I can just get my credit score high and then I'll get more credit cards and max them out with maybe a KB lol just kidding im going to get it all cleaned up and then just keep getting my little boltson for now.

Exactly what I plan on doing. After the credit cards and a couple loans are payed off I'm gonna be saving a sh*t load of money each month and probably save half for vacation and spend the other half on the car and bowling equipment.

I hate getting older and realizing that I have to do the responsible thing. Wish I could just blow my money and buy a supercharger. lol
