Damn... that would be cool, but I'm not years of working on cars qualified. Yeah, working on my own won't cut it... I image they would accept nothing less than someone who can walk up and build a race car, from scratch. Frankly, it doesn't pay well enough for the level of expertise they require to apply for the job, but none do. All jobs I see listed are wanting applicants to have wasted a 4 year degree to get a job any high school grad can do. That's fine, if someone else paid for your degree, and room and board.
