Hmmmm:

Hook up the car a little bit (rims, new leather additions on the seats, fogs, maybe headlights, some other misc).

I'd like to start restoring my dad's 67 cutlass, though parts availability might hinder that.

Japan/Barbados.

My project is buying a house and then I'll have many projects around the house. At least before January anyways.

3) Convert said e30 318iS to track car.

I would very much like to do that as well hopefully next summer I can start, mines too nice to turn into a full time track car.

Nah, it's impossible for me to get summer work teaching. Summer school goes by seniority here in FL. Even still, your regular net earnings througout the year do not amount to much. Starting salaries are far too low for the profession. Having said that, hopefully I'll find some non-teaching related work after I get back from Japan (or before depending on what time in the summer I go).

**celsdogg** · 05-10-2006, 08:20 PM

that really stinks about teachers salaries. just goes to show that important jobs dont always pay well. . .
