It should be more about each country showing what they can do when they try.



Oh god Nicole you're gonna be in for a rude awakening. Not only is Florida's job market harder to get in, but you're going in on the East coast. Last year over 8,000 Space Shuttle workers lost their jobs. So the job market over there is pretty clogged. It would take a miracle for you to find a job over there as fast as you think you're gonna get it.
Well hopefully I will get a call back from someone in Las Vegas.

And I am sure most of space shuttle workers don't want to work for minimum wage and lose their unemployment benefits.

I call it a success.
maybe...but i always have seen it potrayed on tv shows about how amazing us American's went over and beat Ferrari...then i started thinking...uh Ferrari was the underdog...Ford was a mega billion operation....then i saw a show this year where Shelby was talking about how people from Ford came to him and asked him to go to the President of the company and stop it...because spending on the Gt40 had reached $200 million...which was just astronomical.

Hmm.. I'll probably start looking once I'm settled into the Air Force. I don't wanna buy it before and not be able to afford it once I get in.

So probably around 3-4 years. 2010s will be super cheap by then.

But yeah, If I was buying in a year or so. I'd go look at your first. I'd rather get one that I know has been taken care of.
Yea my car will be gone by then, lol. And that's smart thinking about the car purchase. It's slightly modded, has 2LT amenities, has been raced, and very well taken care of. Well I hope to sell it on here, but if not then I'll just have to take it in to trade at my dealer.

Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.

Why are you looking for a job in Vegas?

Uh.. Actually.. That's exactly what they're doing. They're taking any job they can get because they're not the type of people that wanna sit around and depend on the government to survive.

If you're gonna move to Florida in October, you're gonna be depending on Jason for at least 5 - 6 months. I hope both of you realize that.

Or you could just blow off everything I say. I mean, I have been living here my whole entire life, soooo.. What do I know?

I just look at it as a slap in the face to Ferrari.

Maybe I'll buy it from the person you sell it to.
