Cars

Spent a little while unemployed... got a Job with Harley Davidson, doing custom paint on the high end bikes, spent over a year doing quality assurance repairs, and then made my way upstairs for about 7 months doing layout and custom graphics, like spraying out special effects, air-brushing a lot of dropshadows.... blah, blah... then the economy tanked, and i had to get a new job... first day looking tried 3 places... 2 of em called back immediately, and the third i was hired on the spot. Restoring classic Mustangs... i have worked on about half a dozen actual Shelby mustangs, the least impressive one worth over $300,000, Yanko Camaros, GTO Judge, thunderbirds, lotsa muscle cars. it all sounds pretty cool, and it was... but the owner was thee single biggest ass hole and scam artist i have ever met in person in my life.... so that needed to end, luckly the Harley Davidson shop called me, wanting me to come back. Adopted the cutest kitty ever and named her GAZ. she is a little spoiled black cat with red tiger stripes in bright enough sunlight. For some reason she is the same size, look and personallity as when she was a kitten. she never grew up, literally! compaired to our other cats, she is a tiny kitten... it is really cool and super adorable! .... sadly, about 2 weeks ago, my car got caught up in a Tornado, and Golf Ball sized Hail and bits of debris took its toll on my baby, causing $7,800 in damage... and i was one payment away from her being mine >.< (yea, i totally flipped my lid!)... after waiting for ever, they want to total my girl out. and seeing as how it is payed off... i would be getting a meaty check for $9,600 ...a very aggressive downpayment for a 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO i would have to say. but alas... i love my car, and could get 5k towards savings and repairs, cause in all honesty i only need the roof repaired, the rest i am more then capable of doing myself, but it is going to be hundreds of hours in body work (yea, sideways hail sucks ASS!!!)...
