    It sounds piss easy. I'd love to be a mechanic.
    Oh hell...that job would be gravy. Check the emissions, glass and lights. Money.

    Pretty much.

    I want a mechanic apprenticeship, don't want to spend any more time pissing around doing shitty jobs I don't want to do.

    Learn to fix people's cars, in the process learn how to fix my own car when I acquire one Win:Win? I think so.

    So, I'm kinda excited about putting a PSP in layaway at the pawn shop. I'm not sure if custom firmware is even necessary anymore since there are games patched to work on OFW...either way, I'll be downloading a bunch of them in a couple weeks

    CFW is necessary if you want to play any games > 600 odd MB...

    I've been working on cars since I was probably 14. You can save a lot of money if you can do it yourself. As an example, last year I put a water pump on the van...it cost me $19 for the pump. If I paid a shop to do it, it would have been at least $200. Same with brakes. I do it myself for less than $20 instead of $79.

    Yep, my grandad has been working on cars since he was 18, he's now 59. He could do anything to a car, but he's gotten too old now.

    I want to be like that as well when I can drive, no chance in hell I'd pay someone £200 to do something I could do myself for £20 or something.

    My uncles are like this with their cars, too scared to get their hands dirty, they even pay someone else to take their cars for their MOTs.

    Balls of Steel version was £40 on PC vs £65 on consoles and is now completely sold out everywhere. Half tempted to keep it sealed when it arrives and order the standard version on 360 to play.

    He had a heart attack 2 years ago, suffers from angina and bad asthma.

    Not helped by his constant smoking....
