    It was pretty slow for the month of November.

    December we sold more cars, and it especially picked up just after Christmas...they made a lot of money at the end of the month which I wasn't there for.

    So I got paid as if I was there, not to mention a second check labeled as 'FMLA-CVD19 PAY', which I'm unsure if it comes from the State to the employer->employee or not?

    I thought I was just going to get my normal pay since I'm salary+bonus so the COVID pay has me a bit stumped as to where it comes from...

    But to answer your question about my absence and the profits, a lot of business owners literally wait until the last minute to buy a vehicle for a tax write off; I was sick that week.

    They're basically laying down on a vehicle that they may need, might not, and just let us make money.

    The though was denso should be equivelant to toyota since denso made them for toyota

    Denso wires are kinda ass, I've had a few sets and they leave a lot to be desired. OE Toyota wires are Sumitomo

    Sorry Don. That does look fixable though I hope your frame isn’t tweaked. The bed is easy to replace.
