New Job!!!!

[Doug_Firebird]

I got a job at the local auto parts store. Advanced Auto Parts.

This is so fucking awesome! Big bonus is that its less than a 1/4 mile from me.

Just so happy. The manager was like holy shit, You know more than all these guys in here. All I said was yea, I know...Thats why I applied.

Starting at $8.25/hour...with employee discounts!

Good luck with it!

That's cool. Parts stores really need to start getting people that know about cars. My local Parts Plus has some illegal immigrant running the counter half the time, and he's fuckin asshole who doesn't know what he's doing and always tries to rip me off.

According to my calculations then.......

10 spd running 5.62 min @ 20mph

[89Firebird2.8]

Unless he doesn't hook right, then it's 6.32 minutes @17 mph

[wrightz28]

It's all in the reaction time

[Doug_Firebird]

I would put some very careful thought in that idea

Yea, I have....

Im tired of the honda. I dont have much money to build the firebird up...and I cant afford to insure and maintain 2 cars.

I can get atleast $2000 for the honda, and about 3/4 of it is going into the car, whats left is going into the bank.

[wrightz28]

After owning them for 12 years, f-bodies are not to be relied on as daily drivers, unless you you have the time and money to keep up on them diligently.

[Doug_Firebird]

I have the time, and with me selling the honda ill have some money.

Like i said..I just cant afford to insure and maintain 2 cars at once on my limited budget.
