anyone live within a 2 hour driving radius of Larymie Wy?
or anyone live around the Denver air-port area? i was thinking about flying into there and driving up to wyoming. it is cheaper...

im wanting to go out there for a college visit in OCT, and dont wanna pay for any motel. I would rent a car and ----, so no one would have to pick me up or anythig....just a place to stay, drink beer, mess with cars...whatever

I would fly into Denver Airport and then just drive...

so what is your game plan after you graduate, going to go work for a body shop or try and open your own?

I was in a body shop a year ago and it was nice, the lobby and all was just all decked out... they just be raping the insurance companies hard yo

one thing i wish i learned and had an opportunity to intern with an old school pro (but didn't) was how to paint, I can do body work, bondo, fiberglass, fabrication alright but I just can't shoot a car.. maybe one day I'll learn :-[

I started as the shop bitch back in high school, been to 2 shops, trying to climb the ladder. no one had the shop space, I would usally help people out with other cars, simple projects like truck toppers, and fiberglass taneu covers, and golf carts.(stuff that didnt require alot of shop space) it was alot of fun, i miss it alot, this is why i am going to school for it. I have a GI bill to use, and the certifcate wouldnt hurt me in any way. plus its going to be a great way to catch up on technology with the auto body industry, that I have missed out on in the last 4 years.

what do i plan on doing when i graduate? i have the 2 shops that i have worked in the past said they would give me my job back, so i will probably hold them to that. plus, wyo tech has a 98% placement rating, so if i cant find a job, i dont want one...

If I were to come straight from school, there is no way i could start a sucussful business on my own, full time. so im gonna start in a already established body shop, and maybe do some kind of body work on the side. (race cars, motorcycles, that kinda ----) then go from there with it. lots of people in indiana have these things, and are always looking for someone to do a nice, backyard paint job on there cars. school kids and ricers...

(sorry for the elaborating) you probably didnt read it all, but you asked... ;)

Hey i'm in westminster, about 1 1/2 hours from chyenne if you need a place to crash in oct. Onyx is a lot closer, probably like 45 min max to chyenne. (he can't do ribs, as much as he like to claim he does) :P J/k wyatt

Re:I just registered for WYO TECH!
 

cool man. i will keep you posted on if I go out there or not. if I do, i gotta get a rental car. that should keep us occupied for the evening...

Re:I just registered for WYO TECH!
 

Well, as long as you do more than kyle did when he was up here (sit in front of my big screen and play need for speed underground for hours on end), we can party and have some fun. It really depends when in october you are coming down though, because i'm moving out mid-oct!
