you live near my old hood..try a tire shop.. like discount tire and such... no automotive repair shop is going to hire some one that has no history of working in the auto industry, let alone worked at all. or try a dealership working as a porter or something.. gotta get your feet wet wet before you can swim

Yeah, Back when I was still in high school I wanted a job related something to auto. The best I got was getting a hook up at a Honda Dealership. Didnt take it though. I hated commission and the cars didnt interest me much except for the 2000.
Try going for Kraegens / autozone. They'll hire you . Brand new SS? Pics man!

Are you looking more doing stuff (repairing & such) with stock cars or doing aftermarket stuff? One of my vendors (can't mention the company I work for since we're not a sponsor) is looking for someone.

Not so much S2K's, a good amount of BMW's, but mainly a shitload of STI's and just rice in general. Its lonely being someone with an f-body, I get looks like I don't belong.

Yeah I have seen a 911 turbo parked in a handycap spot at fullerton in the structure. I had a good laugh. As far as a cruise I would be down. I really don't know any other f-bodys around my area except for my brother with his third gen.
