Re: So Cal General Discussion

ya the price tag was pretty hefty for wyotech and that they are just opening the auto body refinishing campus in october didnt make me feel very confident. like I said im looking into cerritos college, antelope valley college and pasadena so if anyone knows any other colleges that have good programs let me know. Also I want to learn how to use like an english wheel and other sheetmetal forming tools.

Re: So Cal General Discussion

man..I wondered what happened.....

so my room mate got pulled over for expired tags while driving my blazer. The permit is in the window. She shows the cop all the paper work and hes cool with it.
Just to rub it in, he gives here a ticket for no front plate....

Anyone know of a bracket that will work with a smoothy?

Not really, can you fab up something at work? How was the trip?

Maybe take a piece of flat bar, run it up around the air dam and weld another one perpendicular so it's like a "T" . Maybe mount the leg of the "T" to one of the bumper mounts?

I worked for NEC Logistics. Doing order processing for the freight forwarding warehouse. My new job is for Associated Steel Corp. playing with CNC machines and grinders all day long. The grinding part kills my body but other then that I enjoy it plus its paying better.

Re: So Cal General Discussion

man I didnt follow my own advice today and got pretty screwed over and f*cked with. I didnt have time to take my car all the way over to wicked motorsports to just get an oil change, alignment and put in my new slotted rotors so I figured since I know a couple guys at the pepboys down the street and its close I will just drop it off to get done and wow. I go to pick up the car and the rotors are on BACKWARDS, it is missing a center cap and somehow those f*ckers put 2 miles on my car since it was dropped off, hmm, I wonder what they were doing. I bring it up to the manager and goes to figure out what happened. The "mechanic" seriously didnt know which way to put on rotors and didnt feel like asking anyone so they had to redo them and I was another 2 hours late to work. The center cap was broken by the mechanic and if I wasnt noisy I probably wouldnt have found that out, the two managers were talking and I overheard it and they noticed I heard it so they had to say they were going to replace it. luckily I got it in writing that tehy will replace it, those center caps are like $60 bucks for an s4. anyways, horror story of stupidity, probably my own fault for bringing it there in the first place for minor sh*t.

Hey James are you hump and trim certified? I'm on the TB10 so I think I have chance to go to the XT10 but I want to get hump certified but I have to goto the XS11 for that. I'm going to talk to a dude named Doug tomorrow to see what he has to say. So hows the road?

Re: So Cal General Discussion

Well i almost Quit today, But one of my bosses talked me out of it cause the dairy is going to fix my truck, But if i were to quit now they wouldnt fix it so im staying longer............................................ ............ Well apparently 2 of my 3 bosses were at the Gym today and some one said that i passed them on the Right in the ditch and shot back onto the road and threw up snow all over their car and took off at high speeds................... ( keep in mind that there is snow everywhere and my truck is 2wd and would get stuck if i drove in the ditch, and i am in my Own truck and off the clock........................... So my 2 bosses say that i can not drive any of the dairy trucks till further notice..................... first of all i didnt pass anyone in the ditch and cut them off, 2nd i was in my own truck and off the clock and i was on the road not their Dairy soo i was ready to tell them what i thought and take off back to California, but my other boss doesnt agree with them and wants them to change their mind about it, so then i said well are you guys getting me a rental car while my trucks in the shop and my boss said that we will get my S10 running so ill have a truck to drive which is cool with me cause i want it running................. so basicly i had a bad day and wanted to tell the other 2 bosses what i thought But managed to have some selfcontrol to not do it............................ But after my truck gets fixed it could be a different situation.................... Sorry for the rant guys, just needed to vent..............
