Thread: How can Ashton afford a 10-second SE-R hobby?

Ive worked as a contractor for a long time now and my last job and current job didnt care that my hair was long. I always had it well kept and kept my facial hair decent. I still had to look presentable. Its just a preference and I like my hair long. I look hideous with short hair and cant stand it.

My wife loves my long hair as well. When I was overseas, I went 16 months without a haircut other than trims to keep it out of my face but the back was long as hell. Well past my shoulders.

My brother was a contractor for 3 years in Iraq. Almost went over there myself.

Ashton, nice to have met you at the convention.. I was wondering, can you paste what all you have done to the car here? I'm really interested, surely you must have a file somewhere where you have all the engine mods

Thumbs up Ashton. Wish I could have made it to the convention, definitely would have sought you out and shook your hand. You got style and went out and built your dream in spite of the doubts from a few. That takes balls. Support from the wife definitely a huge plus. You have my respect and then some, long hair and all. Way to represent what the forum is all about.
