    No but seriously it runs extremely smooth and quiet. Odd engine but good design.

    Looking for a daily driver to keep miles off of the rig. Unfortunately not in time. Looks like with less than 30k miles my rear Billstein 5100 blew out. So I guess now we move on to Icons and they have better customer support and will help out with issues, where I haven't had/heard of great things coming from contacting Billstein about a faulted product

    Graduated, no. I quit. Dropped out. Retired. Whatever the proper term is. I couldn't do school anymore and wasn't putting in the effort to get good grades and make my money pay for itself, so I called it off. Too bad I spent $50,000 before I decided it wasn't for me. I got my associate's so at least I have something.

    I interviewed for a cad designer position in sliding stem, rotary, and one other unit. 5 guys were there asking me questions.

    Ah bummer. I don't know anyone in drafting, but I did hang out with the daughter of the head honcho in rotary while I lived there, not sure if hiring decisions even make it to him but I'll try

    Thanks! I listed everything for sale on Facebook and already have interest in everything, so that would save me some hassle moving stuff if they buy. The rest of my stuff is worth keeping.
