    After nearly 20 years in the electronics industry, about a year ago I took a chance and e-mailed a local hot rod shop to see if they'd let me work there for free to learn the trade. I started working 2 days a week for free, after 5 days they offered me a full time job, and after 7 months I became shop foreman.

    I have never enjoyed work so much in my life, I couldn't be happier with my new hot rod career and I hope it continues for the rest of my life.
