Whats your profession?

I build, tune and work on ls1 and 2jz-gte powered cars. mainly supras and corvette/camaros/firebirds etc.... Turbo charged modifications mainly. MY favorite car i have ever owned and built was a 94 supra tt 6speed, SP63 Single turbo 530RWHP at 18psi never took it to the 1/4 mile...
 
im a property developer, we buy old homes. do them up. and rent them out.
no bosses, and nobody telling us what to do.
 
Im studying to become an Aerospace Engineer, basically ill be fixing Aeroplane Engines when im qualified. then i want to get my C2 license and be the guy in the top office signing people off.
 
Hey widow maker. I'm impressed.
Turbo charged racing cars. Very cool. :blsmoke:
You ever work on motorcycles? Turbo charged bike using aviation fuel. :roll: It could be done. Maybe?
Maybe just wishful thinking.

Now my profession seems boring in comparison.

What does everyone here do for work?

I build turbo charged all wheel drive race cars for a living. It was a hobby and I got a good name tuning peoples cars and helping my friends in the car club for free. Then worldcom and enron crashed and so did my company I worked for. I did voice/data/video for 10 years and decided since the market went to shit I would start charging for my car services. I did good enough to open a small shop. Now I am in a 5x bigger shop. Next thing I know I took over the market in my city, shut a few competitors down and now I have closed my doors for atleast 3 months since we counted 35 cars at the shop. I am going on my second year and I should be rich and famous soon at the rate I am going. :)

How about you guys?

I was a soldier for 7 years. Got all kinds of hurt up in Iraq and now I'm going to college and looking for a new job. I was working for the Department of Defense up until recently when my health took a turn for the worse and had to leave.
 
Was going to college. Recently, dropped out to pursue my dream of being a farmer. Now, I'm just waiting for spring to come to get started.
 
sorry to hear that man...hope ur feeling better soon....and just saying thanks for putting yourself into the line of duty......I appreciate your sacrifice.

At the moment I have a 650 hp eagle talon. Plus a 150 shot of nitrous that I havent used yet. Ive got the car stripped down to 2600lbs. Im shooting for 9's in the quarter. Hehe yeah bikes are usually my favorite thing to race. They can keep up sometimes. :) I mostly do mitsu stuff. ie eclipse, evolutions. I occasionally get turbo neon and wrx's. Pretty much if its turbo I will work on it.

hey....interesting stuff. I recently started trading futures....scary world. Market volatility a bonus. Trading in the Zone, fabulous read - all about trading psychology, though moderately applicable across many disciplines and life stages. the US$? gold? real estate? the world she's a changing. god luck with your path and efforts! Walk On! :peace::peace::peace::peace::peace:
