I am just curious what everyone here does for a living? I myself work at my family bodyshop (Bodyman & Painter) and in my spare time fix computers:D

I don't do anything exciting. Make a few bucks here and there by selling eXtreme sled/biking DVD's

I was looking at the billet pull handle that I think Brad had posted a picture of. I could make something like that and engrave Vmax4.com on it. I've also been thinking of turning up some billet aluminum wheels and cut out Vmax4.com as spokes. Just some stuff I've been thinking about. The hardest part would be getting some time on the machines when we're not running production work. We're pretty busy right now.

It has it`s highlights but after a while it becomes just like any work. The best part is when season is slow and boss tells to go up to the trails and `practise` ;)
