new block!
Defcon, what is your profession, I hope to hell you are an engineer, because if you are that skilled with Solid Works...man you better be! I took CAD architecural, surfcam, solidworks, yada yada yada in highschool(vocational actually) As well as a bunch on machining. I could do very basic things in solidworks, and then write the program in surfcam then go make the part on a CNC machine. But never anything so in depth as an engine lol.
I am actually a Mechanical Engineer... Well I plan on to be lol. I'm still at UNCC.
But I actually started those designs back my senior year in highschool. I'd tend to finish my drafting work early and have free time... Being stuck in class, Solidworks was my playground.

1) With my car still F***** up i sold it to a dealer for more than what it was worth. Infact more than what i paid for it.
2) I did contract work 2 years ago for WCPSS (Wake County Public School System) in one of there scrap warehouses where retired teacher laptops and desktops went to be destroyed.
I found that I could get buy the Destops for $0.25 each and Laptops for $10 w/o a hard drive. So I invested all of a few of my paychecks and bought HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of 3.2 GHz P4 IBM desktops and resold them for $20-50 each. The laptops I could sell for around $150.
That quickly covered the difference in trade in and now I putt around in a Z06.

LOL I wish I could, WCPSS switched away from contract labor this year because it was "cheaper" but its funny I was actually paying them more than the recyclers were for the desktops.
If I could have done it again this year and gotten some extra cash from it I might have had a blower and some nice tires sitting around now lol.
