No kidding. Even working full time after school or having a job after graduation somehow equals working their *** off.

You should install nitrous and punch it when going sideways for more smokey tires

I've been building custom swimming pools since i was 12 if not earlier (family owned corporation) some of the nicest swimming pools in florida for example a pool 2 stories in the air up (on concrete stilts) to the co creator of aol's back porch which was his 1st floor - 2nd story, were doing a rock lagoon pool right now most the pools we do are worth 50,000-500,000 and its just me and my dad so yeah we work our asses off. And trust me I'm being completely safe about it I'm not gonna go on a drifting course to look like a dumb *** when i can be one in a parking lot where nobody can see or hear me. I gotta start off with the basics before i go on a couse Im just having fun in my spare time.

I can honestly say I know what working my *** off feels like, it is not just physical, but mentally and with stress of responsibility of very important life or death decisions. Do that for a year straight with only a hand full of days off in an environment that takes you far away from your comfort zone. Oh, and work that entire year at 100 hours a week minimum with very little sleep. Come back to me when you think you are close to what I have done.

See if you went to a drift event other people could've told you that you're granny shifting. You got lucky you could've easily blown our your shift converter.
