as for the thread. read it.
it was never about his age it was about the journey that they took to make it out to AMS as for letting us know how it went on the way and what he went through. You went off that and adlibed your own parts of the story. It is what it is man. Let it be.

edit:: Look Below
haha loook how heated this dude is over this. aww. well atleast your evo is paid off for. and you have 1520 posts. good on you.
I have one question Gary - how in the hell are you an electronics engineer with "to college at all" or is that supposed to be "no college at all"? I'm not jealous of Junior, I'm just amazed that someone can get on the internet, do this marketing thing or whatever it is he does, and make that kind of cash. I, on the other hand, am 35 in the millitary working on aircraft for the past 8 years and bring home a measley 2660 a month. I mean WTF, how can my 8 years of work and long 9-10 hour days not earn me more than Juniors "marketing" crap he does on the internet. Junior has made more on that example he posted above than I earn all year. It just makes absolutly no sense how some jobs like what Junior does or professional sports players make these obsurd amounts of money and people that work what, IMHO, are important jobs like law enforcement, fire fighters, school teachers, and millitary personell make absolute crap for money. We work our asses off putting our lives on the line or teaching the youth of America everyday. Why can't our jobs get paid what we are worth? I don't understand and it's what pisses me off about the society that we live in. All of these other professions get to reap the rewards of a nice, carefree life while other people protect and educate the masses. It's like we give of ourselves so others can "live the good life". Personally, I'm sick of the 9-10 hour days, the moving every 3-4 years, the absolute crap I put up with on a daily basis, and the watches and duty section weekends that I work on top of my 45 hour workweeks. I will be getting out after serving for 10 years to go to UTI and get my ASE master certification. Hopefully I do good enough to get into the BMW STEP program and come out a BMW Certified Diagnostic Technician. I love high end cars and anything that's fast. I know a certified BMW tech makes pretty decent money, it's gotta be more than the pathetic 36 grand I earn now after 8 years on the job. My enlistment ends in Dec 08' - I can't wait to get out, I'm sick of the borderline poverty level pay and I want to start "living the good life" instead of working my *** off just to pay for a car and live with 3 other people in the same house.

wow you guys have been through a lot. i wish i had seen this thread earlier i was in chicago this weekend, and you guys seem to need some company. awesome thread though. haha i think it's funny cause i worked my a** off for my OZ and I EVEN GET crap from my friends at school for being spoiled. It's just funny how resentful people can be.

You want to know who posts in here giving you trouble for being awesome? people who simply can't make it cause their ego filled up the space where their brain goes

can't wait to hear how the car goes. i'm making the trip back to the east coast tomorow, watch those ohio troopers man they will get you
