How many climbing jobs though? Not sure those that resume would work. Yes, Im mad cheap living and great opprotunity in NEO has led to my uneducated immigrant ass to become part of the "5%".

No, I think your salty because the long time girlfriend that you stated you hung around" Cleveland waiting for her to graduate, and then left town with to start a new life, left you. Now your seemingly alone in a new town, forced to make a new friend network. Now, that's not hard for an extrovert (I don't remember you being an extrovert though) but true and great friendships are not forged over weeks, months or years, they are forged over decades. You may say you give no fucks about her, or that situation, but in reality that stance would seem an impossible feat considering the time invested and emotional commitment it carries. The seeds of that waste? Good ol' Cleveland. I only bring this up because in matters of opinion (like this) the perspective if the person giving that opinion is very relevant to the opinion they give. As for the decrepit roads and foreclosed homes, yes. The near east side (97% non white... only 30% homeowners..$13,900 average per capita income) is clapped out-because NO ONE CARES about the area, or the government supported people that live there. Comparing that area to any suburb is ridiculous. Yes, not all near city burbs are great either, but god bless america, because you are not forced to live there either. There is not one pot hole I could think of in the suburb I live now (Independence) or the one I may be moving too (Avon). Cost of living is crazy low compared to most of the US. My houses have appreciated 30-40% since I bought my first in 2007, and both school systems are ranked in the top 40 public systems of the state (out of almost 900). I will however never say I enjoy the snow, or salt. But overall, after sampling several places in the US to possibly settle down, I'm more than happy with NE Ohio.

I could come down to the hood of Cbus or any major city and make the same satire video. Although funny, it does not "prove" anything. Its all a matter of opinion so there will never be a winner and a loser. But the main issue is the area of Cleveland that is an issue, no one that likes Cleveland lives in! 95% of the riff raf live in once concentration on the east side of the City. All of the people that live, and love Cleveland live in the near suburbs. So, its really moot point. If you come down 77, yes for 3 minutes of that drive you indeed drive though a large steel mill, which is situated in the middle of the east side- a place where no one of Merritt lives (see above) so its a moot point to argue. If you come though 90 east or west, you drive past some of the most affluent suburbs in the entire state. I wont harp on the GF situation, but I can understand why you at times seem like a salty dog. As others have mentioned, if your not happy in general, changing your location wont magically bring you happiness. I will be the first to say there are many things that are better about other places I have lived when compared to Cleveland. But overall for who I am, and what I am doing, I am very happy with the area an what it offers me and my family.

Hot! 4L80E?

There is a reason for it, because many people genuinely love living here. You are insane, and you overly ambitious distaste for the area is evident in your hate! A Cleveland suburb is #33 on this list of the 50 best suburbs in the US (2 from C bus and 2 from Cinci as well). I don't even see one listed for NC?? http://www.businessinsider.com/ranked-the-50-best-suburbs-in-america-2015-10 And just to clarify-didn't you leave Cleveland with you GF at the time? What happened to her?

You see what I do tot a 275 DR LOL The LS1 will murder it. Period. Even NA, a non DR is going to be LOL to drive.

Truer words could not be spoken on the topic.

I never thought I would have kids. NEVER! I have lived, and rocked out in multiple places, and can honestly say I am a bit selfish with my needs and my time. But I will also say having kids is BY FAR the most rewarding thing I have ever, and will ever do. My kids are ridiculously awesome. Every day is a new adventure. I can agree its not for everyone, and it only works this well because my wife is a great mother and a great teammate. There was a time when I was making more than all my friends, cash. It started with living 5 months in Hawaii, and then finding a great nitch in NE Ohio. I was literally with a different woman every night of the week, and was in South Florida, The Cali Coast, or Vegas once a month. I did multiple cross country and cross continent trips just to site see. At the time, had the fastest car around, and traveled to multiple racing events a season. In retrospect, it was indeed fun, but in the end unfulfilled. It was only as good as what I was doing at that time, that day. In some aspects, it was in a lot of ways the loneliest time in my life. Having a family is incomparable to anything I have ever done in the past-and I can without hesitation say its the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. And, as much as I could pretend I could be "single, selfish and happy" forever, realistically there was always a woman trying to lock me up. Good problem to have a guess

Trust me, the grass is not always greener. I did that shit for a while. What I want. When, where, and how I wanted to do it. Between Vegas, LA, Dallas and CLE via multiple cross country drives and flights, I was wore out-and had no "path" to life. You have to be one unmotivated motherfucker to be happy with just "existing" and "seeing new shit" I'm just glad I came out of it without any kids or STDs The only people that life works for long term are super odd potheads, and trust fund babies. (Oddly enough, they are often one in the same). That being said-I would advise everyone takes a 2 week cross country drive. Do it once-get it out of your system. This country is pretty epic when you take it all on at one time and should be experienced that way by every American at least once if they can. But, once is good enough. I can tell you that a normal, blue collar American would not enjoy a true vagabond traveling life very long.

Your description is spot on. Comes off as an introvert in person. That car WORKS for sure!
-
Do you have a wife/kids?
-
Thats not his car. His is still sitting under a layer of dust. Owner (Don)and Shop owner at AP (whom Build Jamie's car) Started a go fund me to get the car to Oklahoma. No Fucking Joke. He goes there, DNF, and mysteriously closed on house a few weeks ago. YOU DO THE MATH. I hope anyone that donated to that fund kicked themselves squarely in the dick! LOL
-
I lost faith for this dude when he started a go-fund me for a motor when it pop'd in Ohio. Yet, his car is fully sponsored, and he is the one making bets for everyone during street outlaws (per people there, yes, he did have to hand over cash) I'm sorry-you own a shop. Figure it out!
-
1) In America-anything considered an emergency must be treated-so I would not sell a thing. Let it go to collections, figure it out later. 2) *IF* There was situation that down the line could come after my assets-I would sell everything, cash out- and live off cash for as long as needed to settle it in bankruptcy, and be right back to "good". The reset button is there if you know how to use it On Wiggs-considering he is 100% trust funded, I dont think any of this related to him. But if he leaves nothing for his kin, he is an unspeakable douche. So far, it looks like there i will be nothing left for the next generation.

If you pay an employee "money" when you company is actually LOSING money, have you in reality paid them anything at all?

What is wrong with America? No wonder we have a National debt problem

Could be as little as 5-10k in the big ticket items (dyno, tool boxes...ect) are financed.

He is right- you know. Men need to use their balls more these days.

The "Im still talking about D. Wiggs 4 years later" thread
coltboostin replied to D.Wiggs's topic in Dumpster
Have you been to a "stance" show? There are so many non car smart cream-puff vaping faggots out there that they will literally believe anything. I blame Facebook. And, anything club with the word "Grip" in it
