Body:
The car business is the biggest suction vaccumn in the world! When I
was denied entry to Temple Dental, my biggest desire was to purchase
a brand new LOADED Cadillac. I had dreamed ever since 7th grade of
owning a Fleetwood (Dream Car THING) So, I went into cars to
save "just enough to buy a Fleetwood, and then I was gonna get OUT of
it! he he he 27 years later and 5 Fleetwoods later, I was still in it.
In other waords, I gave up hopes of Dentistry. Don't you make the
same mistake!
