Hey Steve, Sorry to hear about the rough spot... speaking from a guy whos been out hunting since February its not as bad as it seems but it does suck trust me... keep positive and Ill ask a few of my buddies that work in a few shops round town as well and see if they have any leads... As for the computer gig I have quite a few friends in that as well and will talk to them to see if they need a hand.

--------------------

New Question: Anyone know anyone who is willing to paint my interior trim for cheap? I am in desperate need of a paint job on it!

Do the interior trim yourself? Buy some color matched paint

pickles, i think silver is one of those colors you can't go wrong with any color. a met. orange will look great. as long as you stick with a metalic color then you are good to go. if you want a better idea you can come by the shop one day and we can put some diff. color stripes of stickers down on your paint so you can get a better idea. that way there is no risk of painting something and not like it.
