I mean its cool and all but gets boring to me. lol plus the parts are way too heavy...haha but i am seriously planning on attending this school when i finish my car. i only started working for some extra car part cash. i dont have to work right now so why not go to school. it looks intresting enough and if you check it out look for the ls2 they built... ahhh wish it was mine they did... maybee we can use mine as a project or when i get my 04 i can use it... i dont know.

That sounds badass.

i would say go for it if your pocketbook can afford it.

im lookin into UTI and its not that cheap

i donno about SAM though

[64malibuss]

my cousin went through uti....he is having trouble finding jobs in Houston. Everyone hires you to be an apprentice, not a straight on mechanic.

[98Aggie]

My engine builder is or was an instructor at SAM. Lots of his best students are working for Warren/ DEI / Hendrick, etc...

[vic]

never uti its a waste of time. this is on a whole different level.

98aggie seems to know first hand. i think its worth my time to go even if i dont use it for work the knowledge will save me money for a lifetime :)

[vic]

its almost a done deal... me and mike went last week and it was awesome. my paperwork is done. just waiting to finalize everything... going to look at some apts while the cam goes in next week. i might shoot up there today... but drag radials in the rain kinda sucks who knows....

[vic]

sam is roughly 30k without the cnc class,,, i am taking the cnc class also. but loans and grants can help if you re intrsted in going...

[Bulldog Stang]

Just stick with this Vic. Dont let it discourage you and dont QUIT!!!! Push yourself and make it through this, and you and your wife will be happier than ever if you do ...

[vic]

will do. thanks bulldog.. :)

[SuperStallion]

im looking at colleges now cause im graduating this year and this is my top school to look at my parents are thinking about it so i might see you there vic

[vic]

cool dude. i got held up a bit financially. defaulted my old school loans so i am trying to get that taken care of real fast... had to put the car on hold so i can get it situated... sucks because i just ordered wheels. haha that money could have gone towards school... ahh i will be there by april hopefully...

[98Aggie]

So when do you start Vic?

[vic]

july... have to repay my old student loans this month then get my shit in order... all my paperwork is done and i am schedule to start in july :) should be fun

[benchwarmer]

That school sounds pretty sweet. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of money would I be looking to spend if I want to attend that school?

[vic]

depends on which classes you want to take. they offer 3 courses. 1. head 2. block and now offer 3. cnc. each one if i am not mistakin is 15k. if you pay cash they require 5500 down and like 1800 a month. financial aid will cover 8000 per course which leaves you paying around 7000 out of pocket. there are grants and scolarships which you can also apply for to help you. i know sema offers a scholarship. also a couple other automotive companies. i have a complete list of them and info about applying. i also have extra school information packets. if you are intrested pm me and i can get one to you.

i would have been in school already but i had to get my life straight. i owed like 1550 in old tickets, i owed surcharges, and reinstatement fees on my drivers license, i had to pay all that this month to be able to drive again. i cant go up there without it. now i need to finish paying my 3k in back loans when i went to welding school. get all my credit cards in line and whatnot... so its july... hopefully i will be out of debt and situated enough to focus on school the way i should and not worry about working when i attend :)


woohooo i get my drivers license tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

Vic have you decided what motor you are going to do for your class project when you start later this year?

[1SS2NV]

Hit me up when you start. I know a lot of people that went to that school.

[vic]

[lilbluehatch]

i slightly looked into this school but i also wanted to do a few more things while in school so i chose TSTC but that is a very good school from what i hear good luck.
