Honestly though the techs aren't hurtin at all...they are making some decent $$...people don't have the $$ for new cars so they are fixing their current cars...better then a car payment I guess...but they just decided to fu*k up the service writer & managers pay...1st time they have changed it in 2 yrs or so...wtf...

I've been coaching my sister's parks and rec basketball team so that's sucked up most of the weekends. Also i've developed a mild addiction to COD that turned me into a semi-hermit for a month.

I'm still pretty happy with it although i do have to get back under there and see if the way i moved those rubber holders around is still holding up ok. More than anything i just want to be able to drive around with the windows down and really hear it... i can' t wait for spring.

definitely want to get it tuned after a few more mods. Ideally i'd like to buy everything i need to get over 300hp and then get it tuned :P
