    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    It's similar. Despite looking the same at a glance the 370 has a lot more to offer performance and features wise. I'd buy a 350 for the right price, but the 370 would be much more fun. And I'd never buy a droptop or an auto of either. The droptop sold so poorly that not even rental fleets wanted them anymore, the numbers were so bad that they're a joke.

    "The Nissan 370Z Roadster reportedly died as it lived: briefly reminding us that it was still on sale in the first place."

    Looking to change it up entirely or work for a different shop/dealer?

    I was in the same boat this time last year...fortunately things got a lot better for me at work in 2019 though so I'll probably stick it out here for awhile longer. *knock on wood*

    I might go to the machinist world. Somethings got to change. The past few months have been rough. And as a happy new year they told us were losing out 35 hour guarantee aka I’m going to make WAY less this next year because of all the damn techs they’ve hired.


    I’m sure there’s more to it. But works been beating me down

    Industrial Maintenance is what you seek. Combines machining, welding, electrical and mechanical skills. High demand job.

    Trust me. I’ve considered it because that’s what my father does.


    And there’s way more money in it

    And someone with experience in the automotive field that can supply their own tools will find a job quick.

    Or if you really want to make bank in that field, pick up a few classes in Industrial Controls and PLC programming. Thats where the real money is at.

    Everything I've ever had done by a shop has failed lol. But in all seriousness it was the damn CVs. I'm almost sure of it.
