Thanks guys. It's definitely a huge undertaking but it should be WELL worth it in the long run. I mean, we're talking nearly a double down of what I make now. If I can survive on the little I make now (which actually isn't bad) then I should pretty well off later. I can't recall if I posted this in the OP and I'm too damn lazy to check but hopefully by Jan I can be certified and be in my new job.

Edit: Yeah, I still try to make time for my car shizzle when I can so I'll be definitely hitting up Riverside since the wife will be busy on Thur. I'll be rolling in with some other Mazdas from that area.
