So I quit my serving job at Olive Garden to work at T-Mobile as a customer service rep because I needed job security and a stable income. So I enjoy a year of stability and good pay... then AT&T comes out like a little b... and tries to buy us up. Our call center's workforce gets slashed from 500 to 300 employees and our call center is in risk of closing if the deal goes through. FAIL!


Hope! Amazon is opening two distribution centers here!

I spent all winter building my ZE. I get it all put together and dropped in, and 90km later blow rod bearing #5. They had to go 20 thou under on the rod bearings...

The hope part is that now the motor is now at 1600kms on the new rebuild and running like a champ.

Ryan your engine going was a damn shame and SuperK, why are you working those kind of jobs are you still in school? You have a lot more potential than that even if you went full time into home/reno constrution.

My Fail. My keys are stolen off my front porch. I look for two weeks tearing the house and property apart but to no avail. Find my ignition tampered with so I go full bore. Change house locks, change car locks and ignitions $$$ and reset my Viper alarm on the Beef mobile to cancel out the stolen Viper key remote. Ok all is secure in Dan's world. :D Today daughter sees something in my chair (I have my own chair in the living room no ones allowed to sit in lol) there peeking out from under the cushion,,,keys. I wanted to put new door locks in the MX6 anyway. :oops:

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Thanks Ryan but out of it I realized you should never have more than one car's keys on any key chain. So how's your engine now Ryan?

Excellent. Straining at the reins to kick some Honda butt :) Still only taking her to 6.5....

I see douches in 90's civics with tails and other cheapo mods, spinning their tires and wearing white rimmed sunglasses and giggle a bit to myself.
