Nope. I'm a sales supervisor in the cable/internet/phone/home security industry......lol. Cars are just a hobby for me. As much as I love cars, I couldn't really see myself working in the automotive industry. I find that mixing work with play often makes for a bad combination. I'd love to do sales for a speed shop of some sort but the pay is generally pretty awful. There is a local shop near me that I've done business with numerous times over the years. They sell aftermarket parts, have an in-ground alignment rack, do dyno tuning and even counter-balancing for road course cars. A friend of mine worked there years ago as a front counter sales consultant and barely cleared $35k a year. That kinda money won't even keep me afloat in Northern VA.
