1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ah makes sense. I wonder if my dad has that.... he probably does

 

That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard

 

Ehh, lots of times lawyers can get around that if you're found to be directly at fault for the product, especially being the only one employed haha

 

Yeah i keep telling myself im gunna go out and see it but never do

 

CA does everything it can to tax entrepreneurs and small business owners into oblivion/bankruptcy. My fiance owns a pliates studio here and it's insane that she's able to turn a profit amidst all the taxes and fees. You have to have a really solid business model and huge startup funds/support to make it work.

What are you creating the LLC for? When I freelanced full time I never went LLC, may have eventually but I never made quite enough money to make it worth the costs at the time. But now CA is catching on to that and if you live in LA you have to pay a ridiculous 'freelancer' tax that will probably get adopted by other cities in the near future.

If you do anything remotely out of the ordinary for a living here then they'll find a way to get more out of you for it. And they wonder why everyone is fleeing the state for Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, etc.

 

Yeah. I’m just trying to cover all my bases in case, ya know? Better be safe than sorry.

My Cadillac horn business is starting to take off, I still do it on a small scale but there’s so much demand for them I’ve begun hiring some people to help me because I’m overwhelmed. I do power door conversion systems too - a lot of custom automotive electrical work basically.

I consider electrical items in vehicles to be “high risk” because of the inherent implications that are associated with electrical systems.

I’m just looking into insurance for myself.

 

@BartMaster1234

Could you please explain to me how you got the two pics in your sig to sit side by side? I am trying to edit mine and it is not playing nice..

 

Took a lot of trial and error. I went into Photoshop and got the exact maximum picture size in pixels and split them in half in Photoshop CS6.

 

According to the TacomaWorld overlords, the maximum size is:

Max width: 700px
Max height: 145px

 

Thanks man! i think i got it figured out.. total pita but like you said, trial and error and repeat

 

Damn computer nerd, i cant even figure out how to put a picture in lol

 

Lol it was all luck i promise

I don't know how to add a pic on a PC, but i can do it on a mac somehow

 

Im always on my phone, idk if that makes it any more compicated. I gave up after like 30 minuets lol

 

Yeah i wouldn't even try to do it on a phone. Computer is typically how i edit mine, and even then it's still a battle..

 

I just realized you are a 2nd gen guy, man i guess this thread is starting to attract everyone

 

To be completely honest, i just remembered seeing a 1st gen guy with two pics in his sig so i started cruising this thread to see if i could find the one i was thinking of so i could ask about how to do it.. i try to pop into the gen 1 section from time to time, but I'm not that active in here

 

Anyone ever replace their own windshield glass? There's a big ass hairline crack in my E320 and I don't want to pay Mercedes or Safelite the ridiculous amount of money they want for a new one.

 

ay that's me!

 

It sucks to do yourself unless it is like the cruiser and held in with a rubber seal. But the taco and your merc are held in with butyl rubber and sealer and has molding pressed into that as well. It is a pain. I had my taco windshield done for 160, I'd assume you could have the merc done for 200 or less.

 

Makes sense. It’s that Butyl stuff camper windows are held in with right? Stuff sucks to work with.
