I just cant believe this as you just write that the car runs for 6K miles and still just like new. That is awesome. Is it your car, as i like to give credit to the person who maintain it so well.

yes its my car, built and designed by me(engine/exhaust).

Still needs work though but it always does. Needs new radiator as of now and still working on custom projects as always.

Also fuel pump and filter

I will be working for Arlingtion acura. I found out i am insurable but they have to finish interviews etc. However they are looking for an entry level tech and I have more experience with acura motors than anybody at that level. Also i already have been in the field and have even worked for them. They are a good bunch of guys and laid back. If i do get the job there you can bet i will be here still and you guys can schedule your cars with Mark or one of the other service writers if you want your car worked on by me....IE: installing headers! lol

Ps- got to wait another week..arg..wtf. hopefully i get hired. otherwise its AMS i hope.
