    +2 for now. My sales have increased, which is funny because like others i sell luxury items. Things people need to make their car faster, and its hard for people to justify that right now.

    But my demographic is mostly males from ages 18-25. So as long as they have minimum wage jobs, or mom and dad have money, they can afford to buy my product. The RSX and SI customers i have, they seem to make more money than the average civic./integra owner so they dont seem as effected.

    I havent been splurging like i used to, been saving my money and basically i only mod my own car if its money i can make off stuff that has nothing to do with my business. I have a good bit saved in case stuff happens in the future.

    My business takes a great deal of capital though, like every month im investing $10,000 + on new items and new orders, and i have small amounts of credit so its mostly cash based. I try to stay as liquid as possible, there are times where i will swing from one end of the pendulum to the other within a few hours just based upon how much i invest and what i have coming in. It gets stressful but it always works out so i cant complain.

    At the moment i am trying to find a decent full time job that pays me just for security reasons. My business is 99% online, so i dont really need to be at home all day doing it. It runs itself right now i just need to answer emails and phone calls, that can easily be done after hours of a reg job.

    Basically trying to bank as much as i can right now so i can move to the caymans in 2-3 years :P
