  1. What I usually do is, having 3 weeks vacation, I give them 3 weeks notice and I’m on vacation effective immediately. IF they put it in writing they’ll pay my vacation time, I’ll work out whatever term they need for a transition. Shitty yes but it works.
  2. I wish Jeep would. Shit I’d be happy with the 5.7 over an anemic 3.6.
  3. Next time I’m in our office I’ll snap some photos. I believe we made a bunch of that gearing!
  4. This is like some of the old metal mill controllers I used to see back in the hey day of steel production in the US. Sadly, most of that stuff was bought out and shipped overseas.
  5. Back when I had my $50 festiva (yes a $50 car, whole other story there) I tried to go to a few exhaust shops just to get a pipe welded from the cat converter to anywhere protruding from under so I could take it to the echeck station and get a fail sticker. With the fail sticker I could get a t tag and drive it while I fixed it. The first shop quoted me $1200, the second was $800 and the third just laughed and said no. I asked if I could just buy a stick of pipe and the guy said sure, so I drove home in that festiva with a ten foot stick of pipe hanging out the window. I swung by advance to grab a few elbows and headed straight to my garage. With my trusty eBay stick welder set on kill, I welded on a straight piece to extend just behind the passenger door, added a 90 then popped another piece on to let it just protrude from under the car. Total cost was like $30! Best part is, this thing smoked like a diesel rollin coal and used more oil than gas but SOAB if I didn’t roll into that echeck station and it passed!
  6. Security not letting it crank? Safety switch because manual?
  7. Glue traps. We had a mouse earlier in the year and I went through so many different types of traps until I got fed up and started calling exterminators. Most offered to come out for a few hundred but none would give a guarantee. Luckily, one older guy said he wouldn’t take my money, just go get glue traps from eBay or amazon and put them near their suspected paths. Son of a bitch if he wasn’t right as that little bastard was stuck on that trap within hours. I gave a few to a neighbor and sure enough it got rid of their mouse problem too. Down side to living outside city limits near the edge of the woods I guess. Edit: also as mentioned above, seal up everything and that’ll help keep them out too. They are getting in somewhere and will keep doing so until you stop it.
  8. Chubbed so hard, great score! That’s my dream config sans the red interior.
  9. I bought a grizzly x2 so I could rip off 177 and 22 but thus far I’ve only shot 22 out of it.
  10. No joke seen there. “Free house”, lock em in and then ship it back?
  11. Gonna review it for us?
  12. CR old people should be better?

    Suicide..

    This. I used to think it was selfish as well but my own battles have opened my eyes. It’s a tough never ending journey.
  15. My son was crushed when roadkill went behind the paywall so I caved and bought a sub for him. He’s more than gotten the money’s worth out of it.
  16. Brad penn or go read on bitog
  17. Your steering wheel is backwards. Nice progress!!!
  18. I bought my steel one from harbor freight around 2001 and it’s still going strong
  19. Looks like everyone in here already covered it. I was in the same boat as Scott. I started on ls1edit and by the end, I had more money and time wrapped up into that and efilive that I wished I took it somewhere and just had it done. Now if I were to do it again, I’d just pay to have it tuned and be done with it.
