But don't you know that the space nazis are putting fluoride in the water so they can tag you as a food source for the lizard people invasion?

No, the space nazis are behind the chemtrails to turn you gay. It's Obama that's behind fluoridation, but I'm pretty sure that's actually to make herding us all into FEMA camps easier.

My dad just phoned to inform me that he has acquired 3 corvairs of dubious quality. I've never even seen 1 in the wild so this should be cool. I don't know why he did this since he still has 2 MGBs to work on but I'd have a hard time turning it down too. Guess I'd better go take some pictures this weekend.

Going by the picture he sent, it looks pretty clean ( for a car from Buffalo, anyway ), but I have no idea why the hell he has it or what the hell he's going to do with it. You know some of them could be had with a factory turbo, right? And the 2.2 they paired it with will take downright stupid amounts of boost without giving half a gently caress. They're a pretty drat good sleeper. Though if he bought it for any reason other to throw all the turbos at it, well... uh... I got nothin.

My brother has a 2.2 tbi auto k-car, and while it's the slowest thing I've ever driven, it's not actually very terrible. Seats are super comfortable, too. I bet a 5-speed would go a long way to making it tolerable.

For the era they were sold in, they really weren't bad commuter cars. Not great cars either, but they did save Chrysler from bankruptcy. Problem is, Chrysler didn't know when to let go of the platform. I can't say I've seen one in at least a couple of years though.

Because I know where I can get a running, decent condition 88 Lebaron for next to nothing, and it would be hilarious to torture it with boost. I drove one back in high school, and while it got floaty as gently caress around 100, it was fun to drive for an I-4. Edit : Oh, that's why I didn't think about it, the 88 Coupe was after they switched to J-body. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 20, 2016 |

Gather round, boys and girls, for a story of... stupidity. There's always new faces at work, since this kind of job is a revolving door (plus they make it difficult to get hours, and keep hiring more people). Dispatcher needed a bunch of people to send out for our new restaurant delivery service. A batch of us got "volunteered". It happens. I'm not a fan of it, but I still get a very healthy hourly pay, and wind up driving maybe 20 miles for my shift instead of 200-300. It does wind up bringing my average pay down by $7/hr, but we all wind up just hanging out in the parking lot we stage at and bullshitting for the 4-6 hours we're out there waiting for orders. Dispatcher didn't recognize a couple of faces. That's the norm since, again, revolving door. There's also a lot of people who might only work a few hours a month, so they don't show up often enough for anyone to recognize. Dispatcher asks one of the new faces what his name is, so he can make a note of who he's sending out.  "Joe Ad.. I mean.. Smith. Smith." "Which is it?" "Smith. Ann Smith" "Well hey since I've never seen you before, I need to see your ID" *hands over ID* "This says Joe Adams" "Well I'm here to work for my girlfriend, Ann Smith" "Sorry man. You need to go home now." "BUT I DROVE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE FROM <insert city 20 miles away>" "What you're doing is illegal. Have a good night. "BUT I DROVE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE" "BYE. LEAVE!" "BUT I DR..."  tl;dr I got to watch a dumbass cause his girlfriend to lose her (very well paying) job. Well his gf had a bit to do with it too, but.... yeah. The stupid was strong today. Liquid Communism posted:Wait, you could graft a turbo onto a LeBaron?  If it was available with a 2.2 or 2.5, the turbo 2.2 supposedly isn't a difficult swap.

So I have a new employee sent to me by an agency. Guy knows his poo poo but he's a bit slow, so I was worried. However, he brought me in 2 bottles of homemade wine, 3 dozen eggs from his chickens, 5 pounds of chouriço, Portuguese sausage, and a fresh, hot, croissant made by his wife. Dude can stay. God-loving-drat.

Those things were poo poo then and I have no idea how anybody could be nostalgic for either that piece of poo poo or the Chevy Vega. I really don't get how that's a thing. They were poo poo then and they're absolutely even worse poo poo now. Of all the cars we sold, we would get more k cars and Vega's back because they hosed up more than anything else so we stopped selling both. We'd take them in on trade but then they'd either go to the Thursday night iron auction where all cheap poo poo goes and new dealers who are trying to start off in the industry buy lovely cars or they'd go to a wrecker.

gimpsuitjones posted:June Chat Thread: Bitch About Your Job (or lack thereof) I hated my first job out of college, so after a year I transferred to a different department. Figured out it was the company after another year so I lined up a few interviews and took vacation days to go about them. Got my current job, and I loving love this job. I get to make my work and I have the freedom to work on whatever I deem important. I'm meeting with my VP today to pitch a multi-million dollar project that will save the power company SO much money, and it's all because they gave me the freedom and culture to be able to look around for opportunity.

So today's daily report show that I did "23 hours of work" and the department average removing myself is at "5 hours".... What are the career options for a man with an accounting degree and 3 years of underwriting experience that won't make me want to blow my brains out?
