I do not have a masters degree. Don't need that for engineering. You can make a six-figure income with 5-6 years experience. I'm at 10 yrs now.
Not a tire dealer, only forged wheels.

why not sell a few of those rides and get a ford GT?!?! haha seriously though, do the classics only come out once in a while and u mainly stick to the viper/vette? my next car is going to be a GTS, people think u have to be rich but u can get one for the same price as a new mustang gt and we all know a factory warranty doesnt make that choice any better

College doesn't have to cost $40K. No excuses. I grew up without money, got zero financial help, worked full time and put myself through college. If it means enough to you, you will figure out how to do it. I drove a shitbox Nissan Pulsar for 3 years, it was 10 years old and cost me $2200. I replaced that with a used Ford Ranger, which lasted until I graduated. I had zero social life or spending money during college. If you go the first two years at a community college, and then transfer the last two years to a local university, you can get that degree while working. It took me 7 yrs going at night.
Nobody said it was easy. I sure as hell didn't have a built Trans Am or FZ1 during college. Sacrifice now, reward yourself later.

ME degree dumdumdum!!! im currently working on my MET (Mechanical Engineering Technology) degree at UNT. Class work is a bitch but labs are awesome. Get to work on CNC machines, learn to weld, castings, injection moldings, all the goods! Glad to see someone doing something with that degree.

MET is not the same as ME. Similar, but the ME degree is more advanced. MET is more hands on, and you learn how things work. Excellent degree too. ME degree is far more heavy on the design, calculations, and analysis of things. Simple summary between the two degrees is MET learns how things work, ME degree has to prove why things work.
Both have excellent starting salaries. I recommend MET degrees to people all the time, especially those who were average at math or struggled with math.
