I finally got my Electrical Apprenticeship, after a year and a half of graduating from the Electrical Engineering Technologist in college. I've been working as a manager at Home Depot for way too long, and although the money is the same to start, I'll be getting tons of overtime and some major raises within the next couple years! I'm so pumped about this. I already bought TopSpeedFX's rims and tires which shipped out a couple days ago, and I'll be buying a bunch more stuff for the tib now! But first I'll be buying a truck or SUV for a work truck/winter beater.

Oh yeah and moving out of my parents house and in with my girlfriend, despite my better judgement.

First thing I'm planning on doing is revamping the CarPC in the tib, and hopefully doing a turbo project over the winter.

Just a local college in Northern Ontario, Canada eh!

The trades are booming up here, I'm surprised it took so long to get in. I actually just started a job at Sears Service Centre too, so I've been, and will be working 70 hrs for the next few weeks before I start the new job and finish up the old ones.

Now I'm just not sure what kind of beater to get. I'm looking at an Explorer, but I just want something half reliable with lots of cargo room.

thanks! Yeah I guess things are really coming together... For a long time I thought I would never find anything, it was very frustrating, but now everything is just falling into place! My first gift to myself is a premier membership!
