Started my new career today......

After 20 years in car audio and an unfortunate situation with the company I relocated to florida for I decided to throw in the towel........
Today I started my new job as a porsche technician in the orlando area.
I was suprised I was able to fit both my toolboxes and all my tools in my jettard, ass was sagging a bit but no problem LOL
First job was diagnosing a coolant leak on a boxster (swapping the resivoir tank tomorrow), then a valve adjust on a '91 911.........things are looking up, I've had a very very ****ty year.....
new boss is cool, and knows his ****, new co-workers are also level headed and very welcoming.....
The wifey and I are moving to orlando very shortly too so I don't have to make the 1.5 hour drive each way everyday LOL
That is all......carry on

thanks, last step is to get my wife and i to orlando......waiting on some money to come in very quickly, once that happens it's on, already found where i'm going to live......
i stumbled upon the position, took a chance on it and scored, it's amazing how much i really know about 911's after having mine for nearly 10 years, never imagined it would amount to anything LOL

Hey bell, that's great - good luck to you. We had dinner together many years ago at the Bears Den in Hershey the night before the swap meet.

yea i'm planning on coming up to hershey next year, should have money by then to buy some goodies LOL
we had a good time at the bears den....we'll have to do it again, i know i can drag some other florida pelicans up with me.....
i think the 924s is going to end up with either a turbo 2.5 or a 3.0 in the future, but this will probably help my getting back into another 911

that is awesome! i often offer to sweep up at RMG, the p-car shop around the corner from my house... just looking to soak in the knowledge. if i had the skill to do entry level porsche stuff even, i would love to consider that a as career option.. maybe in 10 or so years when i retire from public agency work, if there's still any pension left maybe bob @ RMG will start to let me sweep up around the place...

i can think of worse places than Fla to get it started again... best to ya.

Congrats. A good move to get out of hifi in Florida. The market is still spiraling down without bottom.

Congrats Brian, I know it has been a really rough couple years for you guys - especially with the slap in the face of reality vs. expectations on the move to FL.
