Greetings from ZDAYZ The Tail of the Dragon is so much more than i expected. Its crazy and quite scary. Saw a Z in the woods on the way up the Dragon when we first arrived yesterday. Just saw the crew of guys at the carwash station and thankfully everyone is ok and the Z seemed unharmed.

NTB has a great deal for like $200 (I think) you get 5 years worth of alignments - it is even transferable to one other vehicle during that period. They have 1 year and 3 year packages, too, but I have always gone for the 5 year since it's not too much more expensive. No limit on how many times you bring the car in, so if there's one around you, I would definitely recommend it.

I believe it is, but I never bother to speak to them about it. Whether they do it or not, I always head to NTB immediately after getting new tires

Congrats alchemy. Glad nobody was hurt and the car not damaged. Stay safe but have a great time. No shop around here like that. Sounds really good if you get coilovers, you can adjust freq. and ensure that your in alignment.

OK guys off to buff out those marks on the trunk lid. Scary for me as I'm not used to polishers.

The job is in my trade and then some, but here's the rub, the pay is a lot less than expected, and the hours are mediocre. The good thing is travel time is next to nothing, and the work, like already mentioned, is in my field of expertise. It's not the end of the world if I decline the offer, I do have something else I can do, it's not in my field, but the pay is , but the commute is 40 min one way ... This is the problem right now, there is a shortage of qualified skilled trades (especially good ones). Everyone needs one, but aren't willing to pay for the experience. Then they are left scratching their heads when they're losing production because of incompetence, or wondering why they have high turn over. Bottom line, my experience is worth more than they're paying.

i use to travel a lot for business, but since having kids ive cut down about 99%. lol. when my kids are older i might decide to travel more again. at the moment im too busy with picking up the kids, etc since my wife works too. she really doesnt need to work as i can support the family on my own, but she's a very smart girl and likes working, so why not? she hates house chores anyway... (i get to do that ) hahaha!! im not much of a watch person, but my Orient watch couldn't keep time very well after a fall...so decided to go Seiko this time. so far so good. yah, we can PDR people's cars, install suspension kits, exhaust/intake mods, do dressup aero kits, detailing, etc while we drink dietpepsi, and make some cash... and when we're bored, we can go kick the sob's arse for more yelling. hahaha. |
