    i have not built any thing in 10 years for myself .i when i did my cars were just roll around engine stands for me it was more of just how much i could stuff in a car and still drive it on the street..i never did it for any street racing.i always like building / machining engines . helping when i can its abit cheaper for me.i still get a kick buying nice stuff for customer engine builds

    If you're going to lose 80 lbs Scooter, you might as well join the best and it isn't the Army.

    If you're truly looking at the military you should talk to the recruiters and go in with some written guarantees, and most important with a plan on what training you want to get. If you enlist without a plan you may come out with only the experience and several years off your clock.

    Everything the Army offers, except the medical field, the Marine Corps offers. My oldest daughter is a registered nurse and a Major in the Army on the Lt. Colonels list and my youngest was a corpsman in the Navy and I played recruiter for awhile a few years back. Then again you only get out what you put in, but as Roger said you have to have a plan.

    Good one Jerry. I'll have to admit that I'm not too fond of the Navy's boats.

    But in the Navy you get to sit a mile or two off shore and lob big shells, fire cruise missles, or send the planes in to wreak havoc

    I'm sorry for all your bad luck lately. All I can tell you is Keep Your Head Up. Things will get better. Make a plan and stick to it. A goal will help you stay focused. I'm sure you have heard all this before. All this stuff applies whether building a car or in life.
