So i had an interview with the NHRA tonight about a job, but the giant downside is it would require me to move to California.
I'm having a difficult time wrapping my mind around the fact I would have to move to a state where $150,000 buys you a 700 sq foot manufactured home, my car is so not legal, and every gun I own would have to be checked at the border.
They put the ball in my court as far as if I want to do another interview, but I just can't get my mind around the cost of living and the move.
What would CR do?
If you have industry desire and they are going to compensate you appropriately, then I'd say do it. As a contractor here in Denver I did database work for SEMA/PRI and their advertising department last year and everyone is connected. If its not a good gig you can find some place to go elsewhere in less than a year.
When it comes to compensation go big. They know its expensive out there and adjustment. They know you are moving across country.
It was cool being on-site with SEMA and in a few of their offices. But I would not work in the auto industry in Cali for the 'cool factor' ... which actually would be totally cool ... I'd do it as a professional making a professional wage in California. Otherwise the lack of cool-life stuff would add up pretty quick.

A lot of people forget that Macho Man Randy Savage was born in Columbus, Ohio. Now, one Columbus man wants the city to honor the man got to the second round in 11W's Heart of It All Classic, our attempt to crown history's greatest Ohioan.
From rollingstone.com:
Earlier this week, a man named Joe Chapman launched a Change.org petition, asking Columbus mayor Andrew Ginther to honor the city's native son – "an incredible athlete, performer and cultural icon" ^– by placing a statue of him in downtown Columbus.
"'Macho Man' Randy Savage is known the world over as one of the best professional wrestlers of all time," Chapman writes. "During Savage's 32 year career, he held over 20 championships…and is a WWE Hall of Famer. Randy Savage also wrestled in what most consider the best match of all time, in front of 93,000 fans at 'WrestleMania III.'"
Savage was born Randy Mario Poffo in Columbus in 1952, the son of pro wrestler and world situp champion Angelo Poffo. A standout high school baseball player, Randy was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals and spent time in several other teams' minor league systems before turning his attention to pro wrestling in the Seventies. By the end of the Eighties, now christened "Macho Man" Randy Savage, he was one of the biggest stars in the WWF, and would go on to wrestle for WCW. His younger brother, Lanny Poffo, was also an established wrestler of the era.
Oh hell yeah, now this is a statue I can get behind. They should put the Macho Man idol at the corner of Broad and High.
If you dig that, you can sign the petition here.

mind if i ask how much? not sure what the market is still like on these, I have always liked them.
I'm in for book value (KBB/NADA) ... clean TA/WS6 cars are retaining their value; maybe better than they should.
Enjoyment factor -FAR- exceeds any monetary edge or small percentage I gave up here. Its something I wanted so I didn't negotiate too hard and I'm not over/under on it to start.

So I moved out of state (Denver, Colorado) and left my old TA (1993) to my dad who wanted to finish rebuilding it.
Out here I found someone selling a pretty clean 2002 WS6 for a reasonable price and pulled the trigger.
Its a 2002 WS6, White, M6, T-Top, with 65K and the -only- modification is a SLP air lid. The worst thing wrong is the door panel cracks (standard) but no dash panel crack and overall its probably an 8.75/10. This was someone's weekend and fair weather car. The passenger seat leather, carpet, and rear all look brand new.
I'll get a shifter and some 4.10s in it pretty quick and start going from there. No power adders after tearing up my 1993 car and just try to keep this one clean as possible. Denver is an emissions testing area so that will keep heads and cam options pretty mild.
On the weekends I'll drive to the casino about 45 minutes into the rocky mountains so I look forward to that drive. Las Vegas is a 10 hour drive so this car will make for a fun trip though the rockies and desert.
I picked it up at the current owners construction company; he parked it near this bullshit exhaust event on the building shooing out black coal. A quick wash fixed it reasonably well ....

Freaked out my neighbor earlier. Had the car sitting like this without the jack under it.

I've only met him a couple times, he drove past and thought the cat litter buckets were holding up the car and was concerned for my safety. I was really just using them to keep the knuckles out of the way while I put the control arms back on.
^^^ standard, Ford, LOL

Interesting feedback ... the guy is back on Saturday and I'll go take a look at the car.
If the guy is not insane on price I'll probably make something of a reasonable offer.
I don't really care about the P1 ... I have a brand new YSI in a box next to my desk. When the motor pops I'll use that or see about swapping out to a F1-something.

What would CR offer on car like this?
Cliffs ... looks like old man wanted to hot-rod his corvette ... its now in his son's hands for sale.
------------
The vehicle has 11,600 miles on it with a few tasteful modifications. All work has been done by XXXXXXXXXXXXX . The car dynoed 598hp to the wheels on 5lbs boost, with 91 octane fuel. The car has been well cared for throughout the years. My dad is the original owner but passed away and would rather see it go to a good home instead of sitting in my garage. I am asking $27,000, OBO. If you have any questions give me a call/text at XXXXXXXXXXXX
Modifications:
P1SC pro charger kit, installed at 4,962 miles, running a mild 5lbs of boost.
42lb injectors.
Full exhaust system, long tube headers all the way back to a Borla catback system.
Stage 2 clutch and aluminum fly wheel.
Line lock for burnout box.
Adjustable shocks, great for a smooth ride on the road, then adjust to your settings for the track.
Additional fans for the engine set to turn on at 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shift light set for 6800 RPM's
Custom pistol grip shifter/short throw shifter.
Custom built amp and sub box that fits perfect in the trunk with room still left for storage. Also, has an adjustable switch for the bass control on the dash professionally installed.
Comes with car:
Original exhaust.
Original shifter.
DOT drag radials with matching rims for the car.
Two catalytic converters for emissions.
Original air box.

Probably forgetting to list a few things.

Contact Ohio State Office of Technology or academic leaders of technology offices in the major colleges there.
They would likely be looking for a good-value SAN
At College of Business we had (~2002) Compellent San 003; before Dell and one of the first to leave their offices.

Polaris is great, there are a lot of really good options. Being close to parkway exit and Gemini I-71 interchanges makes getting around town much easier. Plus shopping and lifestyle has a lot to offer there.
Cons are the traffic. Everything is a two lane road and at peak you'll just be sitting there. I don't see it getting better but if you can get in and out early its fine.
From Thanksgiving to Christmas you will pay the mall tax. Its jsut packed and overloaded with people at all hours. You'll really notice it on the streets.
I'm living in Denver now but when there never gave a thought to moving elsewhere.

I think they are telegraphing the "she's a Skywalker" angle too hard, I honestly hope she's not, but I'm happy either way if they can keep the quality up.

TL;DR am I crazy for considering studying/taking the LSAT and going back to school to get a law degree at the age of 28?
Not crazy ... but most lawyers I know end up become full time poker players ... gl

I have an initial consultation at NK9 Thursday at 11 and an appointment with the other trainer January 7th at 6:30p- will make a decision after and update everyone then!
NK9 is a great investment; we did a few dogs though there.
Ultimately, they can fix immediate issues but long term you have to take their training and keep it going. This means you have to adopt their style, which is proven, and learn-do it yourself ... which is pretty easy but requires consistency from -everyone-

Send me a PM ...

I'm convinced cars and coffee started because real car guys wanted to avoid the dregs of society and someone had the idea to make it early when they are too lazy to wake up.
Thats why the lambos and 'rarris get tea on tuesdays
Move To Cali?
