  1. I'm currently reviewing my career choices... <_<
  2. God, did I just piss away my entire day on craiglist and VS???
  3. QUOTE (matt b @ Jan 17 2009, 01:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What are you doing now Scott ? Working for yourself FTW, as long as you don't mind working alone. I'm currently looking for work, while tinkering around in my basement actually, and selling crap on craigslist like it's crack. The hours aren't bad, ya know? For actual work, the team that I worked with was all disbanded by our former employer (f'n bastards, I'll get my revenge!), so the team leader is trying to get us all rehired with his new employer. They're trying to win the gov't contract that I worked on, and looks like they've got a really good shot. I've got my fingers crossed there, b/c having some income would be great, since I can't get unemployment due to the state's very employer-slanted regulations. B)
  4. Sweet, me too! High fives you Danny. Wait, I'm my own boss currently! Pay sucks but the benefits aren't bad (I get to sleep with the owner's wife!)... :lol:
  5. Yeahhhh... it's Mayor of Wasilla (po-dunk town that is filled with "hill-folk" types and always reminded me of "Deliverance")... then she was somehow elected Governor of Alaska. One thing's for sure: she is cleaning house in the state legislature. Kicking out all kinds of corrupt politicians, which leaves... more corrupt politicians.
  6. I got $137, for the family. Curse of making a decent living, because if you make too much, the amount of the stimulus check decreases. So it basically paid for 30gallons of fuel. Or dinner at a decent restaurant for Mrs. Javadoc and myself. Or, carbon fiber mirrors. Or, one tire on the XC90...
  7. +1 for Walken. Especially after this gripping piece... Obama Brings Sexy Back
  8. Well I'm sure that GW was standing there in a navy blue bathrobe with a White House insginia embroidered into it, with the red phone his his hand, saying, "bust a cap in his ass." I don't support the Bush administration on a lot of issues, but saying that some soldier offing another is the administration's fault is ludicrous. heck, maybe he slept with the other guy's wife, or was a huge homophobe, or cheated in a card game and whoever blasted him went postal. If the guy was jeapordizing the lives of the other soldiers and someone killed him to preserve the rest of the squad/mission, I think it's an unfortunate thing that happened, though it's still wrong that it happened... if it was murder.
  9. If he died because he was jeapordizing the unit, the gov't isn't going to come out and admit that. How would that look to the public, which isn't as a whole behind their efforts? It's sad, but I imagine this isn't an isolated case, but it's not like the grassy knoll.
  10. They did? Last time I looked they were running around with Ecotecs under the hoods... or rebadged a Subaru, and a Chevy as said marque. Styling-wise though, they are nice.
  11. What's funny is that Ford went on a spending spree a while back and acquired all of these other motor companies... formed PAG. Now they're cash poor (short sighted bastages), so they're hurting, and they might have to sell their only really profitable company. I kind of wish that Ford had bought a minority interest in Volvo, like they did with Mazda. Mazda keeps its separation from Ford, Ford doesn't muck around in the cars that Mazda wants to produce, and there's some decent platform and powertrain sharing happening.
  12. I heard that GM was buying Volvo. That way they can rebadge an S60 as a new Pontiac/Buick/Chevy... and give Volvos crappy interiors. Then they'll put the Ecotech engines in Volvos, and the new XC90 will be a Chevy Blazer with new badges. And I bet some of you think that I'm kidding!
  13. "Volvos... they're round and bouncy... but good" No wait, it's...
  14. I don't have a Saff, Mike. I am however shopping for a second V70R, for the wife. Oh, and stop stalking me! :D
  15. Hahaha! So true! I haven't even put my V70R into the garage yet.
  16. Neither do I, but I'm buying a toy, so I'll have a spare ride. Hope that you get it sorted out, Pras.
  17. QUOTE(matt b @ Jun 22 2007, 11:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Pras: Sorry that this happened to you. It reminds me of Scott's issues with his tune when he moved to CO, what do you tell a guy who's had to deal with all kindsa shit ? Unfortunately for Pras, he's got way more issues to deal with than I did. What do you say? Same thing people told me: don't mod your daily driver. ;)
  18. 1. "Please Press ONE to Continue in English". This is just completly stupid and pisses me off. 2. Citibank will LITERALLY give you a credit card even if you don't have a SSN... ie: Illegal Aliens. Economy suffers from this. 3. Illegal aliens can buy a home in our country, walk away from the loan and face no consequenes. Economy suffers from this. 4. The Gov't picks up the tab for healthcare for illegals. Guess what suffers... Solution: Build a tall wall along the border. Use wood. But who will build it, because we don't want to spend alot of money, so we need to find cheap labor. Let's hire illegals! So, have them complete the wall, and put a big ol' door in it. Now, have them paint the south face of the wall. Lock the door... problem solved.
  19. I think it's better than 6mths ago, sure. We are 'typecast' though, and you're right Charles, need more P2 membership and interest. That 'other' site seems to have a strangle-hold on that market, but that can easily change with support for those owners.
  20. I'll give my 6mth membership to anyone who buys any of my two auction items.
