I learned detailing as a teenager & worked for several new car dealerships (2 yrs @ a Winnebago dealer) eventually running a 5 man crew for a Volvo shop (even detailed Gulfstream G-5 private jets in Savannah for awhile!), had some Chrysler factory training in light duty mechanics & new car prep, was a service writer, new & aftermarket accessory installer (wheels, tires, sunroofs, lift/lower kits, light bars, bed rails & covers),drove a small Mercedes 5-ton box truck delivering 300# ice blocks to shrimp boats, framed houses, FINALLY quit drinking :roll: , went back to college & worked my way thru waiting tables & tutoring math & now I teach middle school Science. Still not done learning & still not sure what I wanna be when I grow up. :? :?:

Not anymore, think on a much much bigger scale.

Example

Just got done running 45,000 yds of California.

12 plates in 1 linear yard

12 X 45,000 = 540,000 plates 8)

I was a Heavy Equipment Mechanic for the State of California, Dept. of Transportation for 12 years. With my back injury 2 years ago I have been off work since, not sure if I can still work with Heavy Equipment, I may have to retrain.

I'm a 17 yr old arky. I go to high school, go to a college class (machine tool technology) and then work for a wealthy friend for about 3 hrs a day. i take care of his yard, garden, house, cars, dogs, and do all the maintenence around the farm... it sucks but pays ok, so i cant complain. after work and on weekends, i spend all my free time on my trucks, and sometimes I go visit my girlfriend...she envies my trucks cause she thinks they're more important...I dont reply... :twisted: anyone else ever notice that girlfriends are fun, right up untill ya get to meet the parents? then seems like it's just a matter of time till it all goes to hell, wether you do anything wrong or not. mabey some men are a little too fond of their daughters...
