Smile I Need A Career Change!

For qiute some time i've realize i should have paid more attention in auto mechanics class. I was in there tring not to get dirt on my clothes, when i had a good teacher right there to teach me the basics and get me on my way. What was i thinking, Ive always loved cars, being a mechanic would only help that. Mechanics earn a pretty good living dont they? If not, i dont think that would bother me that much, it would be a huge benefit just having the knowledge to repair and modify my own ride. All i think about is Modding my car. If i had the knowledge i think i would hope my engine would blow just so i re build add that K.Bell supercharger and try to free myself from gravity. Anyways just my thoughts guys have a good one.

From someone who's grandfather and uncle were mechanics, who owned their own shop, don't do it.

Because you like modifying your ride is the wrong reason to become a mechanic. Keep it as a hobby! If you have to do it every day, you're most likely not going to enjoy it as much anymore.

Also, ever notice that mechanics don't always have the nicest cars? Thats because they're too busy fixing everyone elses!

Yeah instead of mechanic, you could think more along the lines of performance shop...then theres new stuff all the time...
