werd on that!

I have one more semester left in grad school.

I made good money when I was in Cali doing an internship (housing being paid for), too bad back then I only had the Altima so I didn't use my money very well (anyone wants nos??).

This past summer I was in Pittsburgh doing another internship, making dope load of money (78K annualized), too bad the company is sending me back to China for 35K a year, so I ain't taking the job.

I am looking into going back to Bay Area again. As soon as I find a full time offer, I will be modding again. For now, stay in school and be CHEAP...

Got a good paying internship between my junior and senior year. used the money from it to buy a 60,000 mile 240SX with Silvia face and SR swap and repaint it. Car remained like that through my last year in college, with no mods except Tein lowering springs that I got for Christmas. Graduated college, got a great paying job. Now due to investing in an education to get a good job, I have the disposable income needed to modify my S13 and drift it, and make car payments on a new Evo. So, umm, to reinforce the cliche, "Stay in School!"
