QUOTE: Mustangg, I hope that after you graduate from high school that you seriously consider attending either United Technical Institute (UTI) or Nashville Auto Diesel College (NADC). Excellent schools. Both offer 1 year of top-notch, intensive training. Jaguar, Porsche, BMW, GM, Caterpillar, VW are just a few of the companies that recruit graduates from these technical colleges. BTW: It's no longer Auto mechanic, guy...it's Automotive Technician. Computer electronics are the new game with today's cars. Knowledge is economic power! I know for a fact that many of the graduates from these schools that applied themselves are making between $50,000 to $80,000 per year! Don't sell yourself short and GO FOR IT!

Just wonderin! Rotor Sorry, when I used to play with slot cars, I put a pin on both ends, that way I could run backwards. Never been to Atlanta, though was offered a job at a large hosting company once. You mean there is a professional slot car racer named David Thurman? Wow! Wait until I tell my daughter, she already thinks I am a nerd...[8D] Reply Edit Rotorranch Member sinceJune 2005 From: Hot'lanta, Gawga 1,279 posts Posted by Rotorranch on Wednesday, July 6, 2005 8:52 PM [:D] He,he...Oh well, thought it might'v been a case of "Small World Syndrome". David the slot racer was a pretty good friend/ customer/ nice guy who just kinda vanished from these parts, and I thought it mighta been you, since many of us have "cross hobby" related interests.

Its pretty good for city building prototypes. I work in the garment district of manhattan, so i can see the details and little unnoticed details in a city line. I do not have a layout set up anymore, but i do build dioramas from time to time. When you can't operate, detail for a still scene is a must!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
