    Well since this is one big happy family i figured we should all share a little more, theres some people on here who seem like they have to much damn money! And some others that are happy to have what they got as well as a bunch of college students, So lets all share what we do or plan on doing and get to know each other just a little better

    I personally work at the largest body shop in the tri-county area, Autoworks Collision. We have 2 locations, one in Wooster and one in Holmesville, Ohio. I do general body repair, some frame pulls, as well as our only in house Alignment tech, also i do almost all mechanical repairs to wrecked vehicles and also detailing as well as tear down and field estimation.

    Out of my garage, i also do full body work, custom paint including structural fixes, custom weld jobs, air bag setups, engine rebuilds/replacement, and anything else someone has cash that wants me to do!

    Now how about you?
    F clean cars, I Ride Dirty!.....to hide the wicked body damage...
    97 GP GTP- Mystic Teal, 218k, fixing the damage
    91 Cherokee- 4 in. Lift, 31 Kumho M/T, tons of fun
    03 Chevy S10- full bag setup on order, will drag frame in under a month

    Well I'm currently a College Kid working towards my Bachelors in Transportation Design. Basically I draw cars and package them and model them in 3d as well as animate them. I have classes 5 times a week, all night and usually am always busy. I go to LTU in Michigan.

    I also work during the weekends helping my cousins out at their party store. Keeps some extra money for the GP coming in. I also help my parents out by giving most of the money I make to them since they are paying for college.

    3 months left in my Bachelors of Applied Health Science (Athletic Therapy) program, I'm known in a USA as a "Trainer". Basically tend to any, and every, emergency or injury experieced by my players, and rehabilitate them if needed. I'm the guy behind the bench with the coaches, who "runs" onto the ice, field, or court, when a player goes down. Ive done a season with College Basketball, Varsity Football, Jr. A Hockey, and 2 seasons as an assisstant Athletic Therapist with OHL teams.
    Start low, and work my way to the pros, well thats the plan lol.

    i currently work as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at a university in alabama. i just accepted an internship as an athletic trainer with the tampa bay buccaneers (i start in may). basically, if you have ever been watching a football game, and see someone get severely injured, i'm the guy that makes the decisions as to what is done for his medical treatment, and then following the injury, i rehabilitate (much like a physical therapist) them to where they can function at a high level again.

    wow, seems like i'm the only one so far that isn't engineering something or other. cars are not my work, just a hobby that i love and want to get better at understanding. no wonder you all know so much more about them!!! haha

    i forgot to add that my undergraduate degree is athletic training from eastern illinois university, and my masters (i graduate this may) is in health education from the university of alabama at birmingham.
