I have one question Gary - how in the hell are you an electronics engineer with "to college at all" or is that supposed to be "no college at all"? I'm not jealous of Junior, I'm just amazed that someone can get on the internet, do this marketing thing or whatever it is he does, and make that kind of cash. I, on the other hand, am 35 in the millitary working on aircraft for the past 8 years and bring home a measley 2660 a month. I mean WTF, how can my 8 years of work and long 9-10 hour days not earn me more than Juniors "marketing" crap he does on the internet. Junior has made more on that example he posted above than I earn all year. It just makes absolutly no sense how some jobs like what Junior does or professional sports players make these obsurd amounts of money and people that work what, IMHO, are important jobs like law enforcement, fire fighters, school teachers, and millitary personell make absolute crap for money. We work our asses off putting our lives on the line or teaching the youth of America everyday. Why can't our jobs get paid what we are worth? I don't understand and it's what pisses me off about the society that we live in. All of these other professions get to reap the rewards of a nice, carefree life while other people protect and educate the masses. It's like we give of ourselves so others can "live the good life". Personally, I'm sick of the 9-10 hour days, the moving every 3-4 years, the absolute crap I put up with on a daily basis, and the watches and duty section weekends that I work on top of my 45 hour workweeks. I will be getting out after serving for 10 years to go to UTI and get my ASE master certification. Hopefully I do good enough to get into the BMW STEP program and come out a BMW Certified Diagnostic Technician. I love high end cars and anything that's fast. I know a certified BMW tech makes pretty decent money, it's gotta be more than the pathetic 36 grand I earn now after 8 years on the job. My enlistment ends in Dec 08' - I can't wait to get out, I'm sick of the borderline poverty level pay and I want to start "living the good life" instead of working my *** off just to pay for a car and live with 3 other people in the same house.

 

pmed..

 

what an great thread! sounds like a hell of a road trip... lets the haters hate bro.. feed off it you should go to that titty bar and then post some pics... oh yea of the car too.. pics of the car.. good luck

420 pump
500 race

 

wow you guys have been through a lot. i wish i had seen this thread earlier i was in chicago this weekend, and you guys seem to need some company. awesome thread though. haha i think it's funny cause i worked my a** off for my OZ and I EVEN GET crap from my friends at school for being spoiled. It's just funny how resentful people can be.

You want to know who posts in here giving you trouble for being awesome? people who simply can't make it cause their ego filled up the space where their brain goes

can't wait to hear how the car goes. i'm making the trip back to the east coast tomorow, watch those ohio troopers man they will get you

 

Thanks for the continued support , everything is getting better, just hoping everything ends well with the dyno tune and I could drive the car off the shop and around town for a little bit before heading home Friday . Im going from a stock clutch to triple carbon...so I dont know what to expect...a stall or 2? lol

 

Everything is gonna go great bro. We'll be here waiting for the results. Don't go crazy now lol jk

 

Still cant go to sleep lol....

Im looking around trying to find the best prices for :

BeatRush Undertray
Ralliart Evo IX CF Lip

or some place around here that sells any of these parts...so i can pick em up and save on shipping while im here...my undertray snapped from the piece of deer as most of you know, and I dont want to drive back undertray-less

if anyone else cant go to sleep...mind helping me out? lol
