Hey guys,

I havent been on here that much lately due to school work and other stuff. Im going to college next year and I've really been debating on what I want to do with my life. I've always loved working on cars and being around them, but hate the thought of working on mini vans when im 50.

So recently My dad met a guy named Joe, He owns and operates a very well known shop called Performance By Joe, Some of you viper lovers might know him, because hes known around the world for tuning vipers, He also does local jobs, (anything performance wise)

Well my dad and him got to talking and my name got brought up, and an interveiw followed.

I went in today to first see a viper, srt10, and ws6 in the garage .

I met the guy for the first time and he is a really down to earth guy, he told me he was in my position one time and hed be happy to take me under his wing. Basically my job will consist of answering phones, Ordering parts for cars, and dealing with customers.

When I've got nothing to do in the office, I will be out in the shop helping him with the cars and learning.

Ill be working 1-6 mon-fri. And off on sat. and sun.

He says 99% of the time hell be in the shop on sat and sunday working on cars, and tehre will always be an open lift and endless tools for me to use, if I need to work on my car

So basically im stoked, I figured you guys could appreciate this, mayb not. But hopefully this helps me get a jump start on my career in the performance world

Sounds good. 'Hands on' experience is always the best. Is this an interim job before college starts? or is this for when you are done?
