I know where you are coming from, I work in IT on CRM, ERP solutions with accenture guys and other contrators based on site at one of the IT multi national american companies,and at the end of the day it is all meaningless, family friends enjoying what you like is where life starts. Personally I would also love to get involved in the car scene tuning etc but I have seen people try and make their hobbies into their source of income and rather enjoying the normal destresses associated with a hobbie it too becomes a pain in the ass , so unfortunatly the 98% of people who work in jobs to survive just have to do it (unless you win the Lotto), it is the survival of the fitest and make best with what you have, thier are always worse people off than you , and remember not to get stressed out, enjoy life at every opportunity and always take chances wether its in your career or to try something new...take life by the balls and part-tay after all you have a Supra..also play Lotto (P.s no I dont work for the Lotto) :o
