    I work at a Toro dealership, as a mechanic/set up technician, i work on golf course lawn equipment, i get to work on the White Sox, Bears, and the Cubs equipment which is cool, benefits are good, make decent money but alot goes to bills so not much moneys for the e30, Chicago is much more expensive to live in then St Louis, which sucks!

    I'm a student, currently looking for a job over the school year to have some sort of income coming in.

    Worked at a financial firm over the summer and that's where I got alot of my money to help last me through the year.

    I'm a fabricator/maintenance guy for a company that armors civilian vehicles. Yes, that S600 next to you at the stop light, may be armored. Mostly we do cash transportation vehicles.

    Current fun project is a Toyota Sequoia with smoke screen, drop spikes, and shocking door handles. The handles are rated at 80,000 volts, we had a mishap in the shop and had to take a co-worker to the medical center to get checked out.

    Pay isn't bad for my region, but a baby that is due within the next week has haulted all car funds. Totally worth it though! :p

    I work as a glorified bagger at a grocery store, making ~$1100/mo plus benefits. I hardly ever bag groceries, mostly order supplies, fix random shit, floor care, etc. I'm about to move up a bit, hopefully cashier for less than a year, then get into the customer service department, then work as a team leader, sort of an under-manager; not salary, but high hourly. Then management. I like the company. Most of you have probably heard of it.

    Chef at a fine dining restaurant called Dogwood in Atlanta. It's a young mans job, and I am not. But it's all I know. Even though I do alright it seems I just can't shake all of the money sucking leeches. Landlord, insurance, gas, bills,blah,blah,blah... If I start living in my car I could probably do some great things with it

    I'm older than most (32) and got my first e30 (85 325e) at 16. I paid $5K for it with a loan from my mom. I worked 2 jobs, networked with other enthusiasts in the CCA (we wrote letters), to be able to afford to mod it. My 85 got rear ended so I picked up my 88 M3 in 99 with the money I got. I was an apprentice of sorts at a local BMW shop where I learned a lot about E30's. I quit my jobs, put cars on hold and decided to go to college full time and later graduated with BSEE. I'm now a longshoreman with ILWU Local 13 in LA/LB ports.
