#respect takes a lot of courage and determination not to quit. Good for her (and you). Ok, i'm out as well.

 

Damn man I'm not awake yet!

 

*Gun shots and tannerite explosions* meh

 

I wanna shoooooot the whole day down down down shoot it all down. I don't like Mondays I don't like Mondays














Boomtown Rats

 

Clean work, late af response but was gone over the weekend mb. I can see why one would ask for help bc of ur craftsmanship haha

 

Ooh I've heard their older integrated and they hold their own vs separates.

Use the optical out on the pc and let the Denon decode for ya and itll sound sweet.

If you want some bang for your buck though, scour craigslist for a Peachtree Nova; that ESS Sabre DAC and tube stage will really make those LSIs sing (for about 100 more only)

 

Even though +370hp on E85 and meth injection made it a crazy torque steer monster, I miss that car.

3rd gear brake boost on the freeway, and you were gone when you let off. Ever chirp tires at 50 or 55mph in a Focus?

 

And just like I thought. He doesn’t have the backbone to talk to me and my day goes on as normal at work.



great management...

 

I’ve been hunting craigslist for a while now. Nothing for a good price has popped up. Probably will just go new

 

What did you get? A Marantz?

 

Only reason the rear diff survived being submerged on my red truck was a rusted shut vent.

I’ve since fixed it but if it was working the previous owner would’ve blown up the entire drivetrain in one go.

He flooded the tcase so it got stuck in 4LO then drove it in 4LO on the highway killing the front diff. The R150F was begging to die from being run low on fluid too.

 

It’s a denon 11.2. I looked at the marantz but ther internals on it were identical to the denon

 

Nice. You have Atmos and all that stuff?

 

I cannot say I have yet, but that sounds stupid fun haha. I saw an ST with a super EXTRA license plate that made me laugh and mention it to the GF.

"NOTASE"

 

What's funny is, as an ST owner, we did like others and removed the badging.

We'd also swap the clear 3rd brake light lens for the red one found on SE models; down play the whole car if you will. Same as the STi owners that removed their big ass wing (while WRX owners installed those discarded wings).

There's a red fake ST in my town come to think of it...

 

Hope y'all have a good day

 

Water under the bridge. Accept his ignoring of it as a positive. No brash decisions and feel it out as day goes on. If by end of day you still wanna chat, then go for it. If it seems all is quiet on the western front, then just accept it. But you might wanna bring up a system or something to put into place to more fairly distribute the work coming in. You can't expect things to magically be different either.
Reminds me of when I was at Toyota, about 17 years old, so I did oil changes, pull cars in and out of the bay for the stud techs I idolized and rub shoulders with, gear heads you know?, and I had my first 40 series Cruiser so I thought I was cool af.
Anyways a couple months in, and start time was 7am, couple months in though I clock in one day at 7:03am. Couple hours later service manager calls me into his office, and I'm this nice kid that loves the job, the place, everything about it lol, so he calls me in and he's sitting there with his finger pointed to a framed sign on wall. He says, Elijah, sit down and read that sign out loud for me. So I read it out loud:
To be early, is to be on time;
To be on time, is to be late:
To be late.... Is unheard of.
And he asks what time I clocked in. I say couple minutes after 7 and he says correct, Go ahead and go home for the day. I was shocked. He said I'm not mad at all, but I have to treat you the same way I do every tech out there to maintain the order and respect. So go home, and I'll see you tomorrow morning before 7am.

I learned a lesson from multiple sides that day. I understood why it was important to be the same to all, no favorites, and be conscious of what you do and and what you say.
Okay enough dad talk. Go get em Empty_Lord.
How'd that panoramic roof end up? And what broke in it so soon?

 

Always cracks me up when one of the 'good things' with a part or vehicle goes bad and protects it from even worse stuff happening jajaja

 

The swag word makes it
