Mr.kenchan, that's less headache and more fun....


:tup::tup::tup:

:rofl2: i buy by the 20ft ocean containers... :tup: :ugh2:

yah, honestly it is. i can play at my own pace when i want and not having to worry about my gear getting stolen is a good feeling. ive had buddies of mine get their expensive radios stolen, lathes, motors, batteries. :shakes head:

that was in socal.

Test drove a Jetta TDI today. Underwhelming. Asked for the MT version just to get a better feel for the engine power band. Torque is good across the board, but definitely needs a tune for some lower end throttle response - its super muted below 3K RPMs to boost the mpg rating apparently.

i'd get an accord sport 6MT sedan in that price range. :tup:
4banger but it's fairly quick in the 7's for 0-60mph.

vw's are so :yawn: these days.

i remember the scocal event... it's HUGE....

I don't think the Accord is in the same price range. The Jetta is like 21K new fully loaded. Accord is pushing 25K with the same technology.

I think we're going to have to step up to the Accord range though. Maybe something a year old with <10K miles.

yah, even the local races were big. :D

yah, i was thinking more in terms of sedans in the 20K range.. but looking at the vw tv ads, i suppose the jetta is cheaper than the accords. :D

It felt cheaper, that's for sure. 112 miles on the car, and I hear a plastic rattle from the dash :ugh:

Nothing much.
Working really hard lately.

Mass company wide email came out today. 5-8s schedule for the entire site next week (normal is 4-10s). Guess why?

500 people (of 2000+) may get layoff notices on thursday/friday if Federal Gov't budget doesn't include funding for our project. They want everybody on site when they find out so you can get your notice-clean out your desk-turn in your badge-and hit the road jack. :eek:

Other than that...hope you are all having a better day than ms. pint. Or me.

P. S. This is kind of normal for govt contract work and workers.

:tiphat:

I sure wish whoever is moving the icons around would STOP!

:hello:

:p

:ugh2: that would be difficult to deal with.

msbc- wow, that is :eekdance: hope you dont get laid off. that would be so terrible this time of year. :eekdance:

getting f-ked by santa and all... :mad:

charburgers and fries tonight! :yum:

i asked wife not to get me the cheeze fries this time to cut down on the calories somewat.... even a little bit counts. :icon17:
