i hear ya. right now the cosmetic mods are cheaper for me to do. but when the cash starts rolling in again, i'll be starting some more engine mods. but i will be doing my rear shocks this spring to get rid of the damn recoil noise i get over bumps

and mike i went out before it started snowing to the NW. so i got the lucky chance to drive home through all the crap. not fun, but i was impressed that nobody that i saw was being an idiot and everyone was staying far enough back from each other.

you were definately lucky then because i saw a number of numbskulls out there........i can't escape them, i'm surrounded by then all the time........instead of spending money on driver awareness courses they put in "speed on green cameras" so they can pick our pockets some more........

My brother-in-law is driving up to Fort Mac from Calgary today and it took him over 5 hours just to get to Fort Saskatchewan. The highway is not that good at all.

Hell yeah it was a good buy.

I did not get too much for my car, but that was expected with the high mileage that it had.

So if anyone in Calgary is looking for a SS S/C with coilovers and a CAI...go to SHAW GMC.

go figure, lol

well... interview is over with... he says i probably have the job as is...

2 little issues were had though...

I go to school for 2 months out of the 6 month term...
he wants me to post pone school for work... not gonna happen. school is very important to me and its hard enough to get in as is.

problem number 2: the answer to the question: what do you do when the boss gives you and unrealistic time to finish a project....

ummm lol. I can take high stress if thats what you meant... I stay late and have it done for the dead line.

tough to answer these guys are union guys and I am used to running a welding truck where you stay till your done or they find a replacement.. it doesnt happen often though but when it does. you put in the extra time. they sadi they will call back in 1-3 weeks. lol

and not 1 hour after that interview. the owner of a trailer company calls and wants me to start fabbing up some laoding ramps for fork lifts and such.. lol, they want me there next monday I guess
