Ben, sometimes it takes something like getting laid off to open doors to your next career. I know in my own personal life the times when I've left jobs were the turning points for me. at the time it didn't look that way, but looking back its much clearer. Good deal about quitting smoking & soda, those things will kill you far quicker then a hooker or blow.

BBS, I'm a ra-tard. got all wrapped up in baby stuff this weekend and totally forgot. you said you have friends in the area, right, let me know next time you're coming around and I'll make sure I'm available. Just not tonight.

MBC's will spike in higher gears. When I would drag race I always turned my hallman up a couple turns so I would actually see 22psi in 4th gear, otherwise it would be like 22psi spike in 1st and a solid 18psi in 4th . I usually set them now for the max boost I want in 5th gear and let it be lower in the other gears. that reminds me, I need to start turning the boost up for AX... I need to see atleast 24psi in 2nd gear!

 

I interviewed there about 8 years ago and got offered a position that I ended up turning down to get into the wind power industry. Now I am kind of kicking myself in the *** because it seems like I am constantly changing careers which makes it hard for me to move up on the pay scale. I was supposed to do the same thing back then for JM back then as I am doing now, but I am doing about 5 peoples jobs right now, let me fill you in.

complete engine setup/fabrication top to bottom
dyno and automation control top to bottom
bench and pm system cal. and operatiion
total engine operation calibration gas and diesel, natural gas as well
dyno operation
design test plans
alot of times data analysis
the list goes on...

Imagine running your dyno test area with 3 people


The only thing I do not do is washcoat or production lol but I make alot of one off devices. I am not compensated fairly and my supervisor agrees but I feel like I am stuck. So yeah, lmk if anything pops up, I have like 20 excellent refrences in various industries including catalyst testing/r&d and data submission to epa standards

 

Think positive, chances are very good it was for the better man, I speak from experience

 

I could see myself not smoking, but sleeping with a patch on every night

 

No way... I've done my fair share of that stuff, (if not more) and I can tell you sleeping with the patch on is not a pleasurable experience.



Petey, I'll keep my eye out for ya.

 

Good luck Ben! I stopped (almost) drinking soda a few years ago. The best part is that after a few months without, a coke tastes flipping awesome

 

I figured that I will allow the occasional Mexican Coke. They have real sugar in place of high fructose corn syrup.

As for smoking, I think cold turkey is the way to go. The first three days is the hardest, and then it's mostly mind over matter.

 

Someone snapped my fav of the show

 

wow, the attention to detail is staggering

 

Funny to see you creepily quoting pictures of my gf from TSB onto evom

You didn't see her because you didn't see me either! Idk were the **** you guys were, I saw all your cars (recognized chu, josh and dan's) but couldn't find you guys.

I parked next to that black one later in the day when I moved my car from Walmart closer to the meet to protect from dings haha

That car was lol

 

~~~tHi5 hAs GOt tO b3 dA dOPestttt tYtest wHip onNNnn dA lOt~~~~***

 

that's seriously your gf? that's pretty random and something to be said about my posting the picture. take it as a compliment to the both of you. there were some seriously torn up women there on sunday. like i said to doug "i'm here for the guys"

 

Yea lol. It was a joke since you couldn't tell and obviously I know its a compliment lol

 

so wait this is or isn't your gf? that post is confusing

she does look similar to the girl on your FB page.

 

Super Street FTW!
