  1. Yeah im sure a single board and bimding And boots isnt stuff to some people but I dont have much pal. When someone takes your stuff sells it and uses the money to buy drugs yes you would feel like wahhh too.
  2. Holy stuff man... So I was at work today and my girlfriend texts me saying my dad came and took one of my snowboards for my sister to use today I was like yeah thats fine. No problem right? Wrong my sisters too small for it and im 99% sure he sold it on me with the reasoning that I hadnt used it in years. It was at my grandmothers in storage and was still there I thought until I moved here and found out my uncle put it here when hemoved in there.sure I have another board but the bindings are toast and that board had been used like 10 times ever. Im pretty sure I have the shittiest parents ever.
  3. At this rate im going to have to take the job. My kids been sick all week my girlfriend cant take time off from her work as 3 people are on vacation and one quit. Guess ill talk to her dad today about it. Three days off this weekso far. Pay checks gonna suck.
  4. I'm going to sit down and talk with her father more about this and get some solid numbers and I'll most likely go to work for him. Changing jobs this much in a year just feels wrong to me thats all, it would be the 5th job I left in the last year. For 6 years before that i worked for the same company. I just want to be sure the next job is going to be the last job change for a long time.
  5. Just got a job offer from my girlfriends dad to come on as an aprentice electrician... also got offered a job as an assistant manager for the detailing company im working for currently. I have no clue which is going to be better to go for. I have got about a week to make decision.
  6. Nah jon just thought i would toss a smart remark aimed at people who told me i should trust lucky and not attempt to self tune at all. Dont get all butt hurt about it.
  7. im sure glad i was as skeptical of the whole operation as i was.if the only thing different on a orange tune and a (insert color) tune is the boost map then its pretty monkeyed that he would charge someone hundreds more for what an MBC could do? my big question is why the hell hasnt lucky tried to explain his actions or at least deny any of the accusations?
  8. So should I "just do it right and order an ARD tune" now? :D
  9. did he come up with the shove it or just first dude on record to do a 540 shove it?
  10. actually that did cross my mind today during this conversation. i think i may look for a position at a different dealership maybe a volvo dealership even.
  11. i was talking to a salesman today about a Nissan xterra on the used car lot. during this conversation i asked him a few questions about this car, things like gas mileage which engine it had. if it had ever been in any accidents or had any major repairs. he had no idea about any of it and instead tried to talk more about rav4's. it quickly became apparent he had no real knowledge about the product he was trying to sell. at this point he started to get agitated because i think he could tell i was starting to ask questions just because i knew he couldn't answer them. his reaction was to exclaim "who knows or cares about these kinds of things?" my response was "how are you an effective salesman when you dont know barely anything about the product you're selling" he decided at this point its was the appropriate time to tell me that i was an idiot and that no one could know that much about their products. point of the story, salesmen at the dealership i work at are assholes. rant over.
  12. my car got hit ): about 1500 in damages.just from a nudge on the rear bumper.
  13. Also found out my licence was suspended and I needed to pay a reinstatement fee.
  14. Yeah I asked he just shrugged at me and repeated I just don't think your cut out for this.
  15. Man this year just keeps getting worse for me.Putin my notice at the restaurant,found out my girl is preggo,3 days after my last day at the restaurant the manager at Berlin city calls me into his office and lets me go saying changing oil isn't my cup of tea. No warning no write ups no big monkey ups just all of the sudden after 3 months of him being all buddy buddy with me whammo. Had a guy in to fill my position the next day. So from working 75+ hours a week to nothing at all. The guy could have let me go before I left my other job, I let him know I was leaving my other job on multiple occasions. It's I'm dumb.
  16. I accepted the job offer. Switching jobs is killing my nerves.
  17. Haha. I donno they made a joke about how I would have to sell my volvo and buy a civic or an accord. I forced myself to laugh. They also said I would be able to move to the service department within 6 months and start working flat rate and that most techs make 60k per year. Which would be a significant increase in pay for me.
  18. Talking to guy at a honda dealership about a job in a few minutes. Feels weird.
  19. Does anyone have a wagon with a texas rake going to balance out tims car?
  20. i believe thats called the cali lean.
  21. did that with an aluminium pan once that had been sitting on an open flame for around 2 minutes straight. Brought a glove home rubbed hand down with diaper rash cream wore the glove over night . hand was good as new in the morning. Slightly sensitive to heat but usable for sure.
  22. i love polar but we just call it soda here like normal people.
