This is why I carry.

thought the car caught on fire in his shop?

nope, not even close.... I'm actually the exact oposite... Rob has always seemed like a stand up guy to me and every time I've EVER had a question car related, he was always the first one to answer and he's always been the first one to offer help when no one else would. This is first hand experience I've had with the guy.... Guys like that don't typically go around beating on your car unless they got permission. with that being said, would I trust him with my Z? probably not, but then again, I don't trust my own wife with that car.

IPS was brought up for a long time when they burnt that Z06 to the ground... time has passed at this point, so it's not brought up as much anymore... car catch on fire, shit happens, I've caught a rag on fire that I left in my engine bay one time because of just being stupid and accidentally leaving it there and it hit the header and there it was in flames...

please elaborate.... I am genuinely interested.

no I'm not dense in any fashion... I normally always think the worst in people (we'll call it part of my charming personality), but I also think there's 3 sides to a story... I know Rob personally and I think his knowledge on cars is 2nd to none... I'm not arguing that in that video, there's really no excuse to how he treated that car, but there was obviously other people present... I don't recall ever being at his shop when anyone else was working there other than a chick running the front desk and it was clearly a male running the camera. Do we know if the owner of the car was the one running the video or if he was asked to do that? That is my question.

if only my mower was 500 bucks.... I have a large property and riding mowers and "home use" zero turns just get eaten up by my lawn in a season.... so this year I had enough and dumped 7k into a commercial Zero Turn... it is fast, full independent suspension, etc... but fuck me, it was expensive!

who are the people in the background? I thought it was just him who worked at his shop? Is that the customer who asked him to do that? I've dealt with Rob many times and he knows more about cars than anyone I've ever met... like he knows stupid shit about cars, like specific models that had trim pieces in special places, etc.... My point is, maybe the customer asked him to do that and we don't know the whole story.... just saying... he's never done me wrong.

This.... Your boss is not your Dr or someone handling medical treatment for you, so I don't believe HIPPA rules apply. With that being said, he shouldn't discuss your medical history, but if it does pertain to your job, or you feel that it does then maybe he had to. I don't know. you aren't giving us much to go on here, so it's hard to really understand where the problem is. The facts remain, companies have better lawyers and more of them than you do.... the most you will get for something like this (assuming that you can prove that he did it) is a headache and just be out the costs of your lawyer, or maybe win that the comapny has to pay your legal fees (just remember lawyers that handle law suits, get most of your money) Worst that you can get is if the company wins and they hold a grudge is they can come after you for a wrongful suit trial and try to get money from you.

late 2008 Macbook air. Battery holds a good charge. has 120GB hard drive. new MAC OSX Lion installed. I am asking $450. It looks great and has no issues. The picture is picking up dust on the lid that is not visible when looking at it. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/A80B781C-CA72-4E82-A9E8-F8BA8DB859BC-13462-00000B1C61EFA032_zps8a2c8c65.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/0A49DDFA-F8A2-4155-9425-62291174AE25-13462-00000B1C69D81043_zps643a224c.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/5A87B83E-3A03-4B1D-9840-E0962184118A-13462-00000B1C701C681D_zps3fe13867.jpg

my back hurts just thinking about that!

I'd be interested in how you'd know that his test drives are "vigerous" anyways, I do my work myself because I don't trust anyone else.

Dull for you... up where I live, not so much.... which is weird cause storms always go around us and we've just been hammered tonight.

I'm interested, but I will be out of town this weekend at a funeral...

only for a second until you realize you still have a low 11 car that is sexy as hell and the only thing you'll pick up in that Juke is a blind person

I honestly don't care how fast that Juke is, I would be embarrassed to be seen in it.

going to an esig isn't quitting smoking... and the jury is still out on if it's any better for you ... just sayin.

I have a Craftsman, it is one of the bigger models they offer.... thing runs great! I've never had a problem with it and it always starts, even with gas from last fall, it started right up this spring.

it's a good read... very interesting. I often thought it would be hard to come back after not living by laws per say while on the battle field... going from accepting that you can be killed and kill, to coming here where neither is accepted would be hard to do.

I would LOVE to have this, it's fucking sweet!, Alas, I'm poor, and wifey wouldn't allow this in the house with little kids running around.maybe someday I will have to make one when the ids get older.

their wives were fucking hot!

LOL, serves them right, I'm sure he got tired of his building smelling like piss.

I'm all for her trying to get herself some exercise any way she can.

I'm only through page 1 so this might have already be covered, but saying that paged roads to have wild animals... I live in the country where we have a paved road in front of our house.... back of my property, there are caytoes (SP?) out here.... I have witnessed them first hand and they aren't the only animals.... while by themselves, they are like small dogs, they are also pack animals and will fuck you up without a seconds notice.... I carry while out mowing my lawn and will shoot one of those fuckers without a warning. I have kids to think about just like that guy does. The guy was upset, but he damn well should be upset about it.
