yea man those must be reliable because i see a shit load of people here that have them and they are all old cop cars too cause i can see the little bars they put in the front i guess to ram cars? i mean honestly it's ugly imo but im sure worth the buy. im still just shopping around so much things to take into consider when buying used like rust, leaks, etc.. my coworker drives a $600 car think it's an oldsmobile she said but it is the newer models not the classic ones. her car runs fairly good it's beat up badly though rust all over the hood and everything.

im just trying to buy a car before her breaks down cause once that happens i got no ride to work. im keeping my options open like i mean yea looks matter to me but at the same time price range needs to be good as well for the type of car and condition it is in. plus selection here as well. if anything around october is the earliest i can buy me a car at least. given something in decent condition yet old and still needs some work done is around $4-5k. the good thing is since i am saving up right now at least if i want something and it's not for sale i can wait longer and continue to save and if i see something like this car and consider buying it then yea i can just get it right then and there.

i would just ask my dad to loan me the money from the altima that got totaled but technically it is his money to begin with and i don't like "owing" people anything especially money. it's a good buffer for him/us as well in case we need it for bills. he still hasn't taken out any money from my moms bank account nor any money from her life insurance and they have apartments they rent out as well so they got income from that coming in as well. just a bunch of money floating around.

EDIT- DAMN SON! found a integra posted today coupe, decent looking condition in pics but boi is broke.. RIP. cheap af too $3.8k

Back from the interview, shaved bits never came into play. What a weird experience. The other manufacturing type jobs I've interviewed for are usually a quick tour, then a hands on type test with the line boss to see if you can do the work and that's it. Since the line isn't up and running yet, this was WAY more professional, sitting down separately with 2 different managers and a HR rep here, then a phone interview with the line manager at the plant they're closing. And very little talk about the work, more about the companies culture and interpersonal skills and a bunch of bullshit hypothetical questions I had to BS my way through. That's the corporate crap I can't stand... The people here didn't even know basic answers to the questions I had about the assembly processes. I was talking about things I could see in the pics they had of the existing assembly line and they were dumbfounded:dunce:. Then when I talk to the line boss in Chicago all he needed to hear was that I know what a bunch of different hand tools were called, that I've used pneumatic tools, and what really impressed him was that I own a torque wrench and an arbor press. He said I was the only person they've interviewed that he's confident ino_O.... I'm wondering WTF kind of imbeciles are they interviewing or am I just under valuing my talents? I don't think anything I do is special, but I guess with less mechanical inclined people with every generation my value goes up. Maybe getting older ain't all that bad. :blsmoke:

We live in a society of yokels with their unpressed arbors just flappin' in the breeze, offending right-minded women and children. I salute your pressed arbor, Sir.

I'm not sure if it's the same in the US, here all the emphasis is on academics and competing to get into your preferred school. I wish I took a few shop classes in high school... I'd have to pay someone to remove my kitchen sink. :confused:

The wife and I voted about 0800. It's a special election, and we were the 6th and 7th voter in our polling place. She looked online later, and there had been 35 voters in early afternoon.

I ran into Panama mid morning to pick up Sister and my grand niece at the airport. Trip there and back was uneventful. Lunched when I got back, tried to nap, but rain woke me right after I got to sleep.

Had to run by one of my banks to deal with non active accounts. I could have signed and mailed, but the bank manager is a friend, and I don't get in there to see her very often.

Had a very nice thunderstorm after I got to work. Hope it was doing it at home too. My wunderground site is less than 5 miles from the house, and they got over an inch.
