I'm in Houston Texas working at a dealership making roughly a 1,000$ a week there

I do sidework as well and still have not opened my garage but I plan to do so real soon.

real soon.

It's a nostalgic feeling reading these past post.

As for college I passed a few classes in MCC but I'm will be transferring my credits over to HCC and finish my engineering science degree there.

I've also picked up auto detailing skills and auto accessory installation skills. (Speakers, systems, amplifiers etc.)
