I has a job :D

Finally after nearly 1½ years of looking, I have a job. A test employment to be exact, for a month, but if that goes well I'm hired, and I really don't see any reason why it shouldn't go well (knock on wood). This means I can finally get my life back in order. But also...that I can most probably afford the Camaro within 2 years at least

Double thanks It's really my favorite quote from the Transformers movie because it's really my favorite sequence, that scene and next fifteen minutes or so. Also it really captures what I think about life, I don't want any regrets. And my buddy says I should totally use it as a pickup line when I get the Camaro, lol.

EDIT: Oh btw, I don't believe I've officially welcomed you to the forums, so welcome

awesome. I was out of work for about 9 months a few years back. I can't imagine how hard the last 18 have been, Glad to hear you have a shot to get back on your feet.

Thanks guys. And yeah the latest 18 months have been rather tough. But with this I can pay back some debts I have and start saving up for the 5th gen. Good thing about being so damned poor for a while is I've learned to stretch a penny and hopefully I'll be able to keep that up and and get enough money for the downpayment on it in time for next summer.

Damn that's alot of hours in one week. Do you not get overtime pay? I'm in the Army and thinking about getting a second job all of the money going to the new Camaro. At that rate you should have a good down payment on a new Camaro when it comes out.
