"engine reconditioning is an expert field in motors; these guys are usually wanted for their experience by Motor Sport Racing Teams i.e. formula one; AG1 racing; Bathhurst; drag racing; any form of racing that requires motors to have their heads or ports re-evaluated and as they say in the trade - tweaked to perfection. And yes; top reconditoners earn $$$$$ most racing teams in Formula one have expenditures of eight figures and more."

"im 17, im about to graduate high school, and im considering going to lincoln tech. i like cars, but i dont know if i want to repair them for the rest of my life. i want to know what type of other jobs i can get where i dont have to repair them all day. something where i can use my automotive knowledge, but maybe work in an office and make good pay. i really dont want to go to college because its too much like high school, and i cant stand all those different classes learning about stuff ill never need to use in my life. i do better with things i want to learn, which is why i picked lincoln tech, but i dont wanna go into a field where i cant get a job that i like. if anyone could tell me what some good jobs are and how much they pay, it would make my decision alot easier. im also good with computers and i can draw, so if there is a job where i can combine automotive knowledge, computer knowledge, and artistic skill please let me know. thanks for your help, i really appreciate it."

"Ant? I know how to kill an ant! Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her."
