    I was going to get a vacuum pump and manifold gauge at work but forgot before I left. I was also going to grab a 45lb bottle but that would have been hella suspesious walking away with that towards a car... altho I had done it before.

    I just think that at $60 a pop and being able to charge like 10-15 cars per bottle and the recharge of a bottle is around $330ish last I had em filled I would see around 100% profits

Found a Velodyne sub at another sale, it was like $1200 new, got it for $200, but I kept that and sold my old sub.

    I also do home theater installs on rare occasions, but I don't really enjoy that, no matter how much I'm getting paid. Working in an attic in TX is too damn hot most of the year.
    The other thing that does very well are vintage Chianti bottles (pre-1970). I bought a lot of three for $1 & the other time I was just given them for free...I have a hook-up in Germany who collects/resells them & usually get $15-$20 each for them.

    Don't have a side job but plan on saving up for a ac/dc tig welder and start fabricating stuff for these cars. Because I'm pretty good at handcrafting and designing stuff. But suck at electronics and computer stuff.
