I've noticed that alot of you guys have some very nice toys. Just wondering what everybody does to support their habit. I'm a poor dirt farmer. Bad year, no new toys.

I was a sleazy car salesman, now I'm a sleazy consultant teaching dealers how to sell cars on the internet. Hopefully this will take off, and the gun fund will be greatly enhanced by the end of the year.

I by no means have that good of toys... mostly trying to pay off getting a degree without having to take on a loan...

But my (little) income comes part time from unloading trucks at the mall, and part time cop. Unfortunatley I won't get paid for that until all my training is done, but I enjoy that much more.
