well i finally mustered up enough guts to talk to my parents about this dilema. They suggested that i go to school for business and take courses that teach you how to open and operate a business. They know that my true passion is with cars so they said when i get my degree i could open a performance parts shop or get a job with a good car dealership so i could learn how to operate a dealership and then one day open my own dealership. It made me feel good to here my parents tell me this, because now i know that they finally realize that i have a passion for cars and they are embrassing that passion. this was something i had thought of previously but passed up in my mind because i thought that my parents would disapprove. but i think that i might have finally actually chosen a path. and i think that i am ready to walk that path. I just want to say thanks to everyone for your insight. If you have any questions or comments please post a reply.
