Cool I have a 1994 Camaro Z28, and I love it. I have a 98 mustang 5 speed car, but it's a v6 and I drive it to work. I work for Gwatney Chevrolet in Jacksonville Ar, and I live in Cabot. I am a technician and I specialize in Lt1 cars.

Yeah I know what you mean. I got into this career field because I actually use to like working on cars. Now it just becomes a pain in the butt, and I don't want to work on my camaro as much as I use to. I'm sure you know what I mean being a previous professional that if I could do it again, I wouldn't be a technicain. Although it does have it's advantages. I can get stuff done in half the time and cuss words as most people just because I have the special tool, or know the short cut.

Well you've got a point the side work is definatly nice, but you don't always have side work to do. I like what I do, but it's wearing on me. If I could get in on a professional drag team as a mechanic I would be a lot happier. Working for a dealership can ruin your passion.

Sorry to bring this back up, but I saw a bunch of posts from you about PAF stuff and wanted to say welcome to the site...

I have talked to Tyson many times over the years and he did my subframes, I was the 2nd one to get his lightweight ones, and the first to take pics of them...

He is a good guy and it must be interesting to work for him, even though your a ford guy...
