I have been a honda person for the past 5 years, I have been through 5 Honda's and recently sold my 1999 Ex with mods and bought my second Toyota (my first was an 86 Camry, was also my first car period). As you can see in my sig, I got a 1999 Solara SE, V6, 5-Speed. I bought the car on Tuesday, May 16, and in 6 days I have lost any feelings for ever driving a Honda again. I love my Solara! I'm a full time college student, and work part-time developing pictures in a Wal-Mart 1HourPhoto, knock it if you want, but it's easy and it pays my bills.

Welcome! Great to have another convert from Honda aboard! (I've had two in the past - now on my 3rd Toyota) ;)

...and don't EVER apologize for having a specific job! Especially as a full-time student, ANY honest job is to be respected!!

Congrats on your new ride - hope you have fun moddin' it up over the years! :D
