Thanks for reading guys! Appreciate your input and comments!

cliff notes?

me no like read ! me like color books!

This was a good read, and I have a friend that is guuna be going to UTI later this year to start his training in the automotive industry, hopefully his experience will be a lot better.

really good read, i enjoyed it. really sucks that you had to deal with shit people like that, especially when the little guy is the one that does more than anyone else but gets treated/paid shitty

very good read and cant wait to hear more. Sucks about what happend and hopefully you'll get where you want.

In for super cool japan pics.

Cliff Notes:

Finds passion for cars at early age.

Goes to a tech school.

Gets job at a dealership earning crap pay, hoping to get recognized for his hard work.

Quits job and passion for cars starts to deteriorate.

Damn my eyes hurt. I need holy water. I been to midland, sag and flint and st joseph all the time.

nice, I'm from mt. pleasant Michigan.

I just hope you had a chance to do other stuff in Tokyo than just to go to TAS. Tokyo is one of those cities that you can spend 1 month there and still not hit up all the tourist spots. I'm not even talking about the other cool stuff thats not listed on a travel guide book.

Co-signed! There's so much to see and do. Last time I was in Japan it was for 2 weeks. 5 of the days were in Tokyo and it felt like I was missing out on stuff.

awesome pics man!!

=)

jk, I liked the story about discovering cars in 6th grade. I think i was drooling over my dad's car and driver magazines when i was a child, back when the Z32 came out.

great read! looking forward to more!

Ok I read it and enjoyed it! I feel your pain brother! I went through the same thing for years jumping around from shop to shop and its all the same bs and harassment. The best thing to do is stay positive and find a niche in the car world that you like whether its painting, building wheels, kits, motors and make a name for yourself. Working for the man will only get you so far. Or plan on being a bitch at the workplace for 5 years+ before you get any respect and an average salary.

That was a good read. Subscribed!

Now, you went to TAS but no fucking pictures posted up...I'll give you a couple more days to post up piktars before I report this thread for being worthless!!! There better be pictures of show queens in there too, part of the TAS experience is acting like every pervert in the show that hoard around the models like white on rice.

Seeing that in person is creepy as hell. Real talk, I've never seen so many weird otaku pervs bust out the most expensive camera equipment that you've ever seen, at the drop of one of these girls standing next to a car.

Seriously, I didn't know if I should be laughing, feeling bad, or just trying to leave the scene.

Very true! I talked to Mike from DSPORT when we were walking around TAS. He said that sadly about 50% of the people who do come in, only do so for the girls. There are more people crowding around girls than they do crowding around the cars.

Check out my first post guys! I've updated my post on the bottom half. Thanks for reading! Plenty more to come! I'm editing 50gig's worth of pics at this time! And I've got some good videos!

I can believe this... Heck at HKS Premium race weekend, there were Race Queen mooks you could have bought, profiling the various girls.

CREEPY....

Shit, they took pictures of ANY girls. If you were in TAS and you're a girl, theyll take a picture of you just for the hell of it. Lost track how many times I took a picture of my wife and somebody else was taking a picture of her...now that's being a fucking creepy creeper...

In America, your asking to get your @$$ kicked. :nono:

So I am going to subscribe to this and that way I will remember to read it this week when I am bored in school.

lol, no problem yo. Leave me a post if you find it interesting or not. But tomorrow I will start on my second post separate from this one. Part 1 of my trip: Los Angeles, California
