THe whole point of the car is to have a full interior stock appearing four door accord on hiubcaps that walks liter nikes. It does that... At a price: Trannys. Its about to get worse with what Ive got planned... But ive accepted it. It is what it is.
I dont want a gay *** cookie cutter civic, but you knew that since youve read it the other789697326592347 times ive wrote that right

I know alot of ---- and have worked on some fast *** rides (worked on snowmobiles at Hot To Go Racing in NY, APBA Race Boats at Velocity Power Boats and Hall's Propeller Service, and various cars, About had a job with G-Force Race Cars in NY building ProMods, but my wife got in a car wrech here in GA and I had to come down here for her.
So here I sit with a $15k student loan, making $20 an hour flat rate (45+ a week average, but down about 8 hours a week from average from the economy) Got smarts, not alot of cash and plenty of hindsight. (wife can't work due to back injury sustained in car wreck, She's trying to get back into modeling, but hasn't got any money jobs yet)

I hate my job , i hate waking up for it, i hate it while i'm here, i hate it when i'm at home and getting calls with issues ( it's like a 24/7 shitstorm of issues that i just can't seen to avoid)..
I im in the process oh getting a Fish and Wildlife Biologist position in Florida starts at $45k/year, and planning on buying a house down there and moving the family down . I need a job that i can be excited to wake up for. And a change of climate won't hurt ( My wife already gave the thumbs up, coz the NYC weather ***** up her Summer Tann. lol). And i'd like to move b4 my daughter turns 2 years of age, so it dosen't feel like i'll uproot her from a "NYC" life with friends,activities, etc.
All i need is to get re-certified in SCUBA, and a few other small things.

But still driving a Honda that sounds anyyyy louder than stock is a ALARM for a Cop to profile ( even when u were not braking the law).. So i gave up on a DD high HP Honda a while ago.
Plus i live in the heart of Manhattan ( where i got my car stolen from the first time by the way). And parking is ----, and the closest parking lot is $500/month.
Plus i have another car that i bearly drive as is and also have to park indoors because people in NYC park like they reading brail (bump parking) . I walk to work and whatever else i have to do on a daily basis anyway.
So the civic will most likely be My weekend racecar/trackcar.

I hear ya there man, But its not like I'm not working toward getting the ---- out of my current situation. Trying to figure out whats not gunna suck to wake up and go to work for isn't easy. I used to love turing wrenches, now I dread it. I really just need to get the hell outta the field and I think I can get all excited about it again. Was cool as ---- working at some of the places I've been b4, May go back to it one day. Right now, I'm thinking about joining the Georgia State Patrol. Hell get to ride around see cool ----, maybe find some cheap cars for sale, etc. Little risk in being a cop and all, but its steady and its a job. Better than right now where my check is on a rollercoaster ride and I hate showing up.
I gotta get my SCUBA updated as well, got certified, but havent dove since
