  1. I go through a pair of boots every 6 months or so. Standing on concrete all day, getting various automotive fluids and degreasers on them, crouching down 100x a day to set racks or work on interior, all tends to eat them up. That said, I've tried most of the big names $100-200. My current and most favorite are Thorogoods.
  2. Miles ?

     

    126k

     

    Details?

     

    6.0 iron block, bored .030 over. Oil pick up relocation. Everything else is stock off the LS2. Old engine had oil starvation issue and threw #7 rod

     

    -Airbag light is on (code needs pulled still)

     

    Might want to suggest him look into this as it might be under recall.

     

    I believe this has been fixed, had a couple bad front end sensors. He hadn't changed his post that I copy and pasted

  3. This is for sale by a close friend. If interested, I can put you in contact.

  4.  

    Drugs, and drug tests, have completely fucked the job market, esp in places like Ohio which are affected by several epidemics. It's getting to the point where the skilled labor market is disqualifying 1/3 of their applicants, that's a huge number of ineligible people.

     

     

    So don't do drugs. Pretty simple concept.

  5. Duplicate of every hand and air tool I have at work.

    Large screw drive air compressor

    2-post hoist

    4 post drive on hoist w/ alignment setup

    Tire machine and balancer

    welder

    plasma cutter

    parts washer

    transmission bench

    engine stands

    engine crane

    tranny jack

    multiple floor jacks and jack stands

    30+ ton shop press

    multiple screw jacks

    dealer level scan tools

    computer/internet

    strut compressor

    heat and AC

  6. You don't have to be a Narc to see what is going on in southern Ohio. We did a few cruises in SE Ohio and went thru some small towns. The entire population of the town looked like a scene out of breaking bad. We did not even stop for stop signs, some crazy stuff going on down there.

     

    Lots of Ohio is this way, shame really. Of course when they keep reviving people with narcan and giving people caught with drugs/pills a slap on the wrist, the problems will only get worse.

  7. Current utilities can't even begin to handle to load of charging EV's if they were to become mainstream. Hell, they already ask people to turn AC up.

     

    Once the infastructure is updated to handle EV's, expect energy prices to sky rocket. My guess is that electric would surpass gasoline in price.

  8. I still like dealership life. Had a good interview with Wyler today, should pan out, and I'll be working with Kyle again.

     

    Just don't work for any dealership that Rob Chobski (sp) is at. He ruined our service dept. and we are still working our way back up.
