No, still waiting for it.

And for the male equivalent.

oh this is very uncool.

hey everyone, please post your disgust to this guy's ad!

WOT today too! Engineering put in some untested software changes to the VAC system which has turned things into a very poorly running bag of doo-doo. Now they're crying because targets are not being met...

I was too lazy to get under there with a camera and take my own.

Tsk tsk.

but if it's a picture of a member here who actually put in the effort to make a detailed diy for everyone, nicely finished, and unique, it's different. you can't just post someone else's pict without giving credit to that person.

also you're suppose to post a pict of your actual part that you're selling.

I take ripping off people's intellectual and artistic work seriously -- it has happened to me many times -- not here, but in other venues as well as at work. The OP in that thread should have reached out for help rather than taking liberties with other people's work.

I know poop happens. Normally I could care less about people using my photos, especially when they are used to help other people out. In this case I was bothered by it because it is a FS add where someone is using my photo for their profit. I normally get paid to do proper product photography. Anyhow, I have seen how some FS deals go sour because people don't read the add and rely on the provided pictures for reference. I don't want to be associated with that.

Guess the heat and long days dealing with know-it-all engineers have taken it's toll on me. Sorry for venting guys.

But now I am finding that just being in the wrong lane on some roads can cause me to scrape at speed. I didn't think we had such poor roads in Austin

Also, I tried driving with SRM on all the time, and I just get frustrated fighting it. SRM and VDC off FTW!

I passed on a great forum deal for a gun metal TWM Desert Eagle shift knob, but that's cause my wife said I could get the black chrome one in a few months. I think I'm going to focus on the exterior items for now, and work with the interior later. To do list: black chrome hamburgers and 370Z, black out fangs and rear valance, hood damper kit, possibly a CF wrap on roof and side view mirrors (Mr. Kenchan, I love your side view mirrors and the wrap

), and OEM fog light (or custom install LED inside the blank panel if I don't find OEM one on the forum for cheap). Exhaust is on hold because I can do a lot more stuff sooner if I wait.

Nice to-do list

You know what I hate? I hate it when people that used to manage particular POS old school devices on the network (DEC Terminal Servers) couldn't be bothered to spread a little experience to fellow teammates in need with regards to said POS because it's not in their job description anymore. Makes me want to choke 'em out.

Ok, I've said my bit now too! Sorry!

Yah, my mic comes in probably thurs as I used standard shipping. I was hoping it would ship last night but tracking shows no movement yet. No biggie.

I'm putting together a slide show of my car for personal enjoyment.

Excellent idea about the slide show. Let me know how it works out for you.

I feel your pain. We have an up to date side of the business and a antique side of the business combined with major reductions in skilled trades and an aging work force. Training doesn't exist for those who want it, old guys don't want to learn the new tech as they are close to retiring, and they don't care to tell anyone what they know about the old tech, and the company is so short sighted, they only care about the profits today and not long term profits...

Hell in a hand basket. As long as if my paycheck is in my bank account every Thursday, I can deal with the circus.

On a pleasant side note: My garage door is opening properly once more.
