    Good luck brother!! Don't sweat it man! Just go in there with the knowledge that you are as prepared as you possibly can be! Don't be to cocky, even if its a done deal. I've definitely walked out of an interview feeling great, shaking hands with the owner and him saying "looking forward to working with you!" And then never hearing from them again!

    Yes sir! Confident, not cocky!

    Thanks brotha, I hope I get it. Closer to home (west sac), which means I can drive my truck everyday :D...I currently commute to woodland, which isn't too bad, about 35-45 minute drive. And its a bit more $$ too :thumbsup:

    More money is always a good thing! I thought i had a promotion in the bag recently, but then the guy who was passing it up decided he wanted it at the last second, after telling two supervisors he didnt want it. Hes also looking for another job and its not really even a pay raise since we fill the upper payed jobs almost constantly so we get the higher pay. He just "didn't want to get fucked with" for not taking the job.

    Does this mean you'll have weekends off? Good luck, whatever you do, don't be yourself. Jk. Hopefully it all goes well.

    Good luck Fernando! I'm still waiting on a raise that should have come at the beginning of the year. Super annoying but our firm isn't flowing with money right now. I'll just be patient for now.

    I'm curious what you guys would have done. A couple weeks ago I found a supercharger for dirt cheap in WA. I contacted the guy and worked out a deal for $900 plus shipping. I was planning on buying, rebuilding then selling on here or eBay. Easily could have made 1k no problem, which would have helped our family out. Found out a super cool and generous member on T4R had been in contact with the guy but I beat him out with my offer. So being the nice guy I am, I backed out of my deal so he could buy it.

    Would you guys have done the same? I'm happy with my decision and the other guy is stoked he has a SC but I was always curious what others would do. I mean 1k for 30 min of work is a lot of money, but I would have felt guilty.

    Thanks guys I'm happy with my decision because money comes and goes but his happiness means more. I'll make the money again but his happiness is priceless. I know how happy I was when I first sc'd.

    First, Chevy. It will never get close to the price you'll pay. It's 2wd, so kiss the sierras goodbye. Also it's wide as fack. Even if it's 4wd it won't fit on most trails so you're done for most stuff the NorCal group runs. Fun truck but I'd rather run a ranger or something else cheap that can do the dunes but not dropping close to 40k.

    I just want it for pure mall crawler status, 4 doors for when we start having kids. My taco is not going anywhere it's about to be sfa and that will be my trail rig.

    Here, this ones half the price :) http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5177167495.html
