Im a two way radio technician. I primarily work at the Jefferson, and Clearfield county 911 centers here in pennsylvania. I work at remote tower sites all over mainly central/western pa. Ive been to almost every PennDOT Facility in the state, and worked on their radios. Some PSP, department of health, probation and parole. Mainly public safety radio equiptment. Ive put radios into anything from a taxi cab, to a caterpillar 785 rock truck, to couple million dollar fire trucks. Me and my boss, who owns the company have now installed two 911 dispatch consoles, at both clearfield and jefferson county. Other then that, ive been wrenching since i could hold one, i maintain a buch of trucks at work. I also work at a service station on weekends, been there since i was 17, hes treated me like a son and said im not aloud to quit. I usually work from around 11 am untill im finished, which can range from 3pm, to 11am the following day from time to time lol. The ol ford gets me to and from with great success. Best addition for going to sites so far, is that detroit locker rear!

I run a liquor store and fine wine shop in the middle of Ski Country USA, Vail, Colorado. I also roughly work 30 days a year for K2 Ski company assisting the retail sales crew all over Western Colorado slinging new skis to my fellow snow adrenaline junkies. Truck hauls 1.5 ton wine payloads in the bed then hauls 60 pair of demo skis(1800lbs) to XXX ski area the next day to preach the gospel of snow skiing.

Put a couple of larger turbos and a chip on it and you are good for 500+ HP in a 3000 lb 4 wheel drive car.
A diesel truck might beat it out of the hole, but then forget it unless it was over 1000 HP.
My personal commuter car is a 1986 5000 turbo 5 speed stick shift kept stock and it still will easily do 130 all day long if I had the chance.

Quick cool story- Yesterday at the local lunch pit there was 3 powerstrokes sitting there all with 4'' exhaust, so when we all left together I thought, well, I better get on it a little so they can hear me, so one after the other there was 3 of us romping on it and blowing smoke everywhere! It looked so awesome and sounded great. The best thing was there was a brand new dodge sitting there all stock and he got a little smoke on him. He was cool though!
