UTI I WISH!! I have no choice but to attend University of Arkansas Tech. UTI and Wyo tech was my first choice, but I didn't want to be too far from home.

At first I felt kinda ghetto being there, until my teacher told us that they finished 5th in some tech compition; deng I forgot what it was called. VICKA <~ or something like that. He said "We finished 5th out of like 200+ other schools, not too shabby." After that and seeing the awards I didn't feel too ghetto. I'm having fun pullin out dents, straighting out metal, but I can't wait to paint. I needa save up for a GTi or a Sata gun. Thanks for the invite though

I'll be done by sumer II 2005.

P.S. Good Luck in school man, it's goin to be fun!

you knoe it bro!

House of color has the diamond white I might go with that. Some of the students painted their cars a solid color and used a pearl clear and it looks good! I might just do that since my car is already white. I'll post up pics of the new paint job when I'm done. Wish me luck ahahah peace guys
