2013 was a really busy year for me. Working OT every chance i got, got engaged, moved out on my own, married. I feel like i accomplished a lot this past year.
2014 What is everyone's goals for this year? Mines to have a break out year in work and become a lead guy. My other goal is to finally get some headers for the Camaro. Mods have been on the back burner for more important reasons but now i already have the money saved up plus with my income tax its going to be a fun year. I want to get better at Drag racing and Autocross it to see how i like that as well. My next goal is to get a new DD. My camry has been nothing but astonishing. 235k miles average 30mpg and the only fix i have ever done to the car is a 80$ exhaust leak. I beat the snot out of it going up to Canada last year and back trying to kill it and it wouldn't die. In the summer when we had some real bad rain i was driving around a corner and the road was flooded out. I would of stopped but when I'm committed to something i just have to keep going. I hit about 2 and a half feet of water. The car almost died in the middle of it and some how some way it inched forward and just JUST made it out. The car was misfiring and running really rough and i still made it 50 miles home. Next day i came out started it and it fired right back up like nothing happened.... damn The car is getting older now, it doesnt have any sign of dieing but its only a matter of time. I'm not sure if i want to pick up another camry, a more powerful DD car like a Acura CL-type S im looking at, or if the camry doesn't die buy a cheap ls1 fbody and drive that and keep the camry when its snowing or raining... My last goal is to become a gun owner and learn how to hunt. I'm huge into fishing and i have always loved reading field and stream. I think its about time to start getting into the field part. My goal is to get all the licensing and shoot my own turkey in the fall. Enough about me what are your goals. Lets Revisit this thread next year and actually see how many goals people reached.

Im loling at the Camry stories.
For me I want become a lead painter at my work, right now the only painting i do is edging parts and painting jambs. Jambs arent an easy task but ive finally got it done. I also hope to speed up my prep work before the cars get painted. I really have to focus on mastering my prep work before i get into painting though. I have huge plans for my car, its a shame that i couldnt focus on the mechanical stuff when i first got it because its really biting me in the ass now. Hopefully i can get it into the 12s, thats my ultimate goal. Ive been slowly collecting parts for it to get there i just have to wait til spring to really work on it. Also i need to fix my very rushed paint job on my nose, i cant even say how embarrassing it is. Hopefully i can get it done by May. After that i just want an easy year, last year had too much bullshit

I would like to get my motor at least freshened up and a not too crazy cam put in. Also get the car cleaned up body wise above and underneath.

I'd like to get organized this year. I've got stuff everywhere and every time I need a wrench or any other tool, it takes me at least 20 minutes to find it.
I feel like I'm spending 1/4 of my life just looking for things I've lost.

Well my 2nd son is due May 7th so I am looking forward to that. Also going to get my ALAT cert for work so I will be an official laboratory animal technician. The GTO might get a new spoiler and possibly a 1 piece driveshaft.
