Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

don't buy one on an urge, take your time, find out what you really want/need and then start looking for that vehicle. I've made a few "urge" purchases in the past and ended up trading them in until I figured out what I wanted/needed. lucky for me I was able to trade in without being upside down on the trade. All that said, I'm quite pleased with my 3rd gen. Wishing you luck in your search!

 

there really aint no good points.

my teenage years were spent in WA........300 pages of traffic fines and other legal issues, my asshole father lives there along with my bitch of a sister.......traffic is LA style, nearly flunked highschool........yeah, Sea-town has a TON of great memories......my mother is...um...kinda nuts......into thinks like crystals and nexus of power places around the world.....

I chose Austin instead of Houston or Dallas because it is less LA and the data says this is a good place to live and affordable and all that......

WA is only 10-20% higher than here...Austin is 94 on the cost of living WA is 107...7 points higher than national average.......

 

So find a place in Texas!

 

This will be the second time.........after the rag heads fucked up our world order in 01....I lost everything in AZ and spent time on the streets......then came CA.........what a shit show.

65K should be achievable here, question is why is there no work to be had above 16 bucks unless it is flat rate and then most of the work is warranty or small shit.........with 3m,gm,dell,samsung,and other large companies, there should be work and money flowing....there are stupid rich fuckers out here and other "upper" class persons.......where the fuck is everyone spending the money?

Wait, I forgot, there is a "war" on white guys that are blue collar workers......

Unless the wife files divorce in Japan and all this shit settles, I aint coming out of this stronger....2 kids, one I have only seen for 9 months....yeah.......it will never be right or ok......

Thanks for the support BTW.

 

Well, as I understand it, Austin is a Tech city. Blue collar/trades isnt exactly this cities offering. Case in point, there is a fucking Yeti store on SoCo here. Not exactly blue collar.

 

Cant afford to move, came here with 20K and now I can't even find a job that will pay me enough to pay my rent, let alone move out of RR.

Then there is the job thing....since I turn wrenches, the work is in the industrial centers........

There is one last possible.......KENT powersports........

 

Tech, yeah....shit is strange, even in CA silicon valley has places like bike and car shops in the area and they are busy. here the shops are slow and 25 hrs a week is "good" money I'm told........just fucking weird....

I found a scooter shop in Seattle that is paying 25-30 per hr PLUS production bonus......all they do is scooters....here 18 bucks per flag hr for a master level doing the same thing........

I have been told that 3K a month take home is way too much money.........that is roughly 42-45K a year pre tax depending on deductions.......

how the hell does one pay rent (avg is 1400 in Austin) water,gas,power,trash,car,and car insurance on 2000 a month? I just don't get it.
