Very interesting read! Its amazing how many "managers" really have no clue how to manage their employees. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. You seem to be pretty ambitious and that's a good thing. Keep on trucking, stay true to what you love and you will eventually find your place! BTW I went to TAS for the first time this year and yes it really was amazing!

^^ This. I'm getting a degree in Business Admin. with a focus in management, and I can tell you that is never the way to go about "motivating" your employees. Employee loyalty can go a long way.

I enjoyed your story a lot, you remind me a lot of myself. I too hope to end up with a job in the automotive field, but I'm going about it a different way. I sit in class all day dreaming about turning wrenches hah. As the end of my last year is coming to close, if you asked my if I would do it again, I would say no.

Why not pursue photography? You obviously have a lot of talent.

Make sure you keep it all in this thread...no fucking point of having multiple threads. This shit aint a blog site, it'll get locked real fast.

yzrider450f: It is nice knowing someone who understands what I was struggling through. You almost have to open your own shop to get away from outside politics. Every [email protected] thing I do is almost a conflict of interest with my boss. But in the end of the day, he needs the guys working on the floor to make his money. I plan on going back to school as well. I'm leaning more towards a business degree.
Glade you liked my pic. lol, thanks but not sure if I can get really hard core into it.

[email protected]: Thanks for reading! Staying motivated and upbeat can be a challenge at times, but you are right. I can't stop doing what I love. Even if my place wasn't at the dealer. BUT, Tokyo Auto Salon was epic! This trip was a definate privilege, not everyone has the opportunity to go to Japan. Being a car enthusiast, we all talk and dream of going to the land of JDM. It has always been at the top of our never ending to do list.
*Heres a teaser pic *

Sorry for some of the low res pics. Not all of them are taken with the DSLR.

Sorry guys, never updated due to family and personal situations. I need almost a whole weekend to myself to edit and upload pics. I'm around Zilvia rarely at times, selling stuff on the "for sale forums" for those who notice. Surprised to see somebody interested in this post, after thinking that it was dead. Didn't catch on like some of those who roam around car build forums but I'll continue to update this thread sometime next month. Thanks

Thank you Sir. Im not rich but, I swiped everything on credit card when I went. Right after it took me a few years to pay it off. I looked back and asked if I had made anything of myself, or had anything to show for, on all of the things I spent now that it's paid off? In the long run its worth saving everything you have and putting it towards one big ticket item. Going to Japan on a once in a lifetime trip was my ticket item. That was something I wont regret spending money on.
