<p> Hi all! </p> <p> I&#39;ve never made a post before, but since my son is a &#39;car &#39;junkie&#39; and likes to tinker with them, buy them etc. I thought I&#39;d join the group so I can learn &#39;Car Speak&#39;. </p> <p> I just sent him to a vocational school in Daytona Beach where they teach you how to install sound systems in cars. With the economy the way it is, he has not been able to get a job doing this. I bought a domain name for him &quot;TheSoundCandyStore.com&quot; and thought I&#39;d set up a blog for him where he can also advise others on not only sound systems, but repairs as well. I was thinking he could set up a paypal account and become a wholesaler for parts and have them dropped shipped to the sender (sort of like e-Bay). </p> <p> What are your thoughts on this? Right now, people aren&#39;t letting loose of much money, but kids who think their cars are a part of their body parts will spend money. When the economy picks up, he could do better by also learning home theater sound installation. Right now he is MECP Certified. </p> <p> He is eating me out of house and home so All comments are much appreciated! </p>

<p> Here&#39;s a list of a few of the well-established classic car shows around San Diego: </p> <p> <b>Encinitas<br /> <a href="http://www.encinitas101.com/news_events-woodies.html">Rods &amp; Woodies Classic Car Show</a><br /> Third Thursday of the month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.</b><br /> Rods &amp; Woodies is the newest addition to the classic car show rotation. Unlike the other weekly shows, this one is held only on the third Thursday of each month through the summer (for 2008: June 19, July 17, August 21 and Sept. 18).
