    Yeah a lot of hand sanitizers are like that now, smell awful. I found an article on it randomly (google suggested it) about that actually explained why. I guess brands like Purell and GermX have a process in the making of the stuff that eliminates the bad smell that is normally a by-product of making sanitizer.

    But since demand skyrocketed after Covid, all these other companies popped up and are making it quick and dirty to sell cheap and en masse, so it reeks

    Yeah the gym I go to started using the stuff that basically pours out like water lol. Makes me wonder if they're just diluting the hell out of it to make it last longer

    Yeah I'd want to be a General Manager but that usually goes to those that have seniority at a dealership.

    That and I'm still learning service lane, absorption rates, efficiency, etc.

    To be making 20-25k a month though :drool:

    Everyone in this thread is always super helpful and knowledgeable so I thought I would ask this here. I have two suspension options to refresh my front suspension.

    Right now I'm running stock UCA's (that are maxed out pretty much but the alignment numbers are okay.) With OME 881's and OME shocks.

    I'm thinking about staying with the OME's and just getting a new shock but then I will also need to get upper arms. As my upper ball joints are shot.

    My other option is getting some old Fox 2.0's and rebuilding them and just replacing my upper ball joints.

    If it were my truck, I'd take into consideration if my Nitrochargers need replacing or not.

    Otherwise SPC arms would be in my near future.

    I wouldn't bother with the Fox 2.0 as you can spend just a bit more for some 2.5 coilovers.

    I would get new shocks in the 881s, Nitros or 5100s.. and new aftermarket UCAs

    Unless you're feeling spendy, then yeah...grab some 2.5 coilovers but I would still get new UCAs over putting new ball joints in the stock arms since you're lifted

    This song makes me feel like I need therapy but I love it

    The show it's from is really good/twisted and worth a watch, if you like really dark, existential time travel themed, German dramas (subtitled in English)

    I got them off of a member with 60k on them and probably put another 30k on them. So I think it may be time. The 2.0's are $100 bucks used off of a member they just need rebuilding to give some context.

    $100 is a great deal for used coilovers, assuming they aren't absolutely thrashed and just need a rebuild. Can get a regular rebuild done for a couple hundred or so, less if you know someone local that can do it (or do it yourself)

    I'll check it out, with the weather turning more Fall (finally) I'm listening to slower paced sad instrumental type stuff lol.

    That show Dark uses 1980's pop music (like Take On Me, Flock of Seagulls, Billy Idol, etc) as background for some really dark scenes and totally changed my outlook on 80s music lol. Shits twisted. Leave it to the Germans
