What do you do for a living?

Like the thread title says - how do you make the money to pay for those modifications and truck parts ( and maybe some other things like food and a place to live )?

Myself, I am a self - employed Concrete and Masonry Contractor doing residential work for the last 15 years. I get along with the Boss most of the time.

Nice point, Tung - difficult to answer that one and sound sincere.

Photographer, eh? We definitely need to talk - I want to set up a Chapter gallery - admin will throw us some bandwidth to use - you no doubt know a lot more than I about these type of things

Union Carpenter. 22 years in the Vegas Valley,

Concrete Structures mostly, Casino's, High rise, Moved to underground work 10yrs ago. Valve Vaults, Storm Channels and drains, Wet Wells.
The worst part is being on 24 hr call for the Sewer Lines some times...
We just did a job at the 5 and the 101 ( In LA). Be back there in a couple of months to finish when the general contractor finishes his part.!

Call in pay is sweet, though.

(Much sweeter than the sewer lines).

Yes, I am at the point of anyone but Patiots now.
Last hope in the NY Giants, even if they beat my Cowboys!

NHRA starts soon, I'm for the two Forces, and I like the cute blonde the most.

Gotta find more Off road racing events on TV.

You aint gonna find nothing on SPEED these days. When it was the Speed Channel, a lot more grassroots motorsports were covered. Now its all NASCAR, and we are lucky if they decide to run an SCCA race on Saturday morning...
