    yep. approaching the deadline to decide.

    not much of a bump in base comp, potentially a big bump in TC with options

    To an extent, but no...not at all what I've done to mine

    It's non-op so I'd need to trailer it if it's going anywhere; it's my track car.

    Does anyone work in aviation? I don't really understand the logic of taking shortcuts on safety measures, only having to pay more in damages later on than thye would've in R&D.

    Lists are my life. Usually I can only handle about 5 items at a time in my head and then it's game over after that.

    Those are all made right by my parents house, I go walk on the waterfront by the plant with my Mom when I visit, neat to see them in various states of assembly.

    Oh no it was here in our very own forum lol it was in a thread asking about an antenna bracket

    Someone said the $80-90 charged was worth it

    I chimed in saying far from it, but easy to recreate for those with some tooling and know how

    Naturally, he challenged that and resorted to name calling all because he thought no one could replicate said part and for cheaper

    Same way Zane said he could knock a job out in "xx" amount of time yet because it took him 4 times as long (not to mention the trauma it caused him) there's no way anyone can do it faster

    He seems to be the standard for everything idk

    I seemed to have cause him all sorts of trauma by responding to another user entirely about how long it took me. I never even tried to start a convo with him, but I must admit it was indulgent of me and fun once he piped up.

    I love the 787 Dreamliner. That thing is a masterpiece. The 737 MAX is a mess tho.

    Before the Dreamliner was flying I got to see it in the plant during a tour, really impressive up close.

    Is it true the 95-97s are easier to work on cause of the lack of passenger airbags and manual HVAC controls?
