So hows your Vette coming along? Did you get it to where you want it yet?

I remember seeing pics of it in the bartending thread and being jealous :3:

Right around the time I joined SA I was deciding what direction to take my career, and someone had the foresight to remind me that whatever hobby/interest I chose as a career would ruin it for me.

Same thing here. About ten years ago I was seriously considering going to a tech school and getting an ASE cert, until I joined a forum called FlatRateTech.com and all the members there effectively talked me out of it :v:

I did end up working part time for a Miata specific shop however, and it pretty much solidified my decision not to get into auto repair for a living.

Speaking of overpowered BMW sleeper sedans, we have my daily driver a 1999 M62TUB44 4.4L V8 powered 540i M-SportWagon.


This is interesting because I have toyed with getting a E39 (non M) wagon DD for a long time.

Would you recommend a family with meager earnings and a husband/father that's handy with a wrench own one? They seem super affordable on the used market, but I just don't want to get in over my head in expensive parts or having to take it to a BMW ($$$) shop. I've been considering the Mazda6 wagon as an overall cheaper alternative.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Flat Rate ladies and gentlemen.

It's what sucks about the business, but at least you know now and won't make that mistake again.

Too bad Jags are such a nightmare to work on because I'd love to own one :(
