I'm currently right now going to trade school to become an automotive technician since the future of automobiles looks promising and can become a high paying job. In electrical, we talked about how hybrid/electric cars work and there is a good chance by the next decade half of the car market will be electrical. I'm not too familiar with Toyota engines much but I have a little bit Toyota knowledge but as of now, I'm not an expert on working on cars at the moment. For a japanese automaker, I do like Toyota and how far they have come now since they started the advancement of electric vehicles. Right now, I'm a big fanboy on GM cars and the history of that automaker. I wish Pontiac was still around since they could've come back with the Trans Am or GTO. My dream car would be to own a classic Trans Am or GTO.

Recently, I was talking to someone on craigslist who was selling a low mileage 1986 Pontiac Trans Am with a 5.0 TPI (Tuned Port Injection). Unfortunately, he sold it pretty fast but dealing with private owners can be a hit or a miss. As of right now, I drive a 2003 Chevy S10 crew cab pickup truck that has 4x4. The engine is 4.3 V6. It's really useful in the snow back but the truck currently has 230,000 something miles on it and I got in a fender bender accident back in last year's October. Plus, my truck's interior is falling apart but currently trying to fix it.

As of now, I'm trying to stay away from buying sports car since it could raise my insurance up badly (I'm only 21 and currently have two tickets on my record. One involved a stop sign which is over a year old and the other was about the fender bender.) One type of car that looks really fun to drive is a jeep wrangler. The wranglers I'm currently looking at are Tjs (1996-2006) and YJs (1986-1995). Older wrangler models are pretty bad on the gas mileage but I usally don't drive too far since work and school are in town. I would like to get a V6 since many people are telling me that's the way to go. It looks like more fun driving them off road or like on a dirt trail through the north Georgia mountains. Hopefully I can buy a newer vehicle soon and I need to buy more tools for the garage so I can be prepared for the career I want to go into.
