Survey also taken. While some may seem to be busting your chops Jake, they do have a point. Not to pile on or anything, but if you want to be perceived as intelligent you must communicate both verbally and orally as such. Good Luck with the project.

Jake, although the wisdom donations by well meaning folks here is correct, and its intention is to HELP you be a bigger success than the rest, (Could also be normal nit picking if they are of old school German Heritage) I do think they have forgotten what its like to be 16.

Lets see if I can recall what I though about at 16:

- Thinking about girls
- Thinking about social groups and peers
- Thinking about friends
- Thinking about food
- Raging hormones
- Dreaming of girls
- Chores
- Thinking about Money
- Cars, (The Porsche)
- Girls
- Sports
- Thinking about the dance
- Homework
- Girls
...

I don't ever recall worrying about spelling even though my grades reflected my lack of skill with it on occasion.

Jake has another 5 years of schooling ahead if he goes to college (Of course he will) to sort out his future career and spelling issues.

I'd cut him some slack so that he doesn't come back at us and start asking why we are always obsessing over Porsches and spelling but NOT girls.

The funny thing is, if anything helps your spelling it is the girls, you should've seen my spelling and grammar before I had someone to impress. All points are well taken though, my spelling is an issue. However, if you look at some of my early posts (please don't) it has improved and continues to do so.

Thanks to all who took the survey, most groups are doing simple restaurants and such but me and my partner chose to seek some thing we are actually passionate about, this left us with a difficult target market to reach though, thanks all!

One question: If I get a timeshare garage, will it come with a lift and tools?

Community lifts will be available, and general tools will be provided with each garage.
