This would be a perfect opportunity for me. The commute would be the only downfall.

I'm in school to be a GM tech and I need an apprenticeship.

That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. The only problem is you're in Tampa and I'm in Jacksonville.

Any incentives for relocating? Mapquest says 3 hours, 36 minutes and Total Est. Distance: 225.79 miles. What sort of wages are we talking? If you can't tell I'm seriously considering this.

Tell you what, I will sell you a $150,000 house just finished that is 15 minutes from the shop for $114900 & get you finaced w/no money down if you are serious. It is small....2/3bed 1 bath, but is virtually new.

Here are some pics of the shop you would work in:





We have some fabrication tools (small milling machine & lathe, metal stock bender, etc.) & I believe we are one of the best equipped LS performance shops in the state...and the only one with an enclosed climate controlled Dyno.
