I'm in the Marines. I'm in a commissioning program called MECEP right now, so my job is really to go to school, but I am still considered active duty. I go to Cal State San Marcos and my unit is the NROTC at USD. Plus I work at Red Lobster part time, so I can feed my addiction (my EVO of course).

But going to quit now that my Evo is wrecked and have no reason to save up money, since the car is sitting in my garage, ready to either be built as the ultimate track car or part it out and sell the parts, invest it, hit big, move back to SoCal (my original home) and live the great life.

If I do quit, it would be AFTER I get a job working at Autobahn BMW here in Fort Worth.

Darx just came by and was telling me you belonged to some forum I was on and I was totally surprised. He said you responded to a post of mine and I was surprised because I usually subscribe to threads so I can go back and read the latest posts. Guess I didn't for this one.

Congrats on buying an Evo. Do you come up to any of the SoCalEvo meets or track days? It'd be great to catch up with you. I PM'ed with this post in case you didn't subscribe to this thread either 8)
