Awesome job man. Bloody awesome. Can't think of a better job for a young car nut to get into. Don't expect the world at the start. Expect the guys to give you hell but also be prepared to return the favour.

Look out for them asking you to get things like left handed screwdrivers or spanners, or long weights.

Do not be afraid to ask questions. You may get ridiculed for it momentarily but unless they're a bunch of assholes, you'll learn and that should be one of your goals

Congrats young Ethan! It's always great to have a job that coincides with your passions. In this case, automobiles. Hope you enjoy work and people there pass on their experience.

And as much as I hate to say it, Mano is right. You're young so putting away something for the future is a great way to start off your adult years. Sure you can still spend on mods for the car, but don't go nuts and blow it all. Once you're as old as me or Norm, you can mod to your heart's desire. :P
