  1. I had driven 7 vehicles before turning 16 :AH-HA_wink:
  2. Quoted for agreement and emphasis.I want this thing!
  3. While we're on the subject of brand-related bikes... It's the brand new Buick bicycle. Oh snap! Looks like they forgot the Tri-Shield or even "Buick" in script. Damn memory loss.
  4. haha I wish I had one. I'd drive it to work everyday.
  5. Yeah, I don't know, but it's what the Manager/Engineer (who I'm interviewing with on Wednesday) had told me at the job fair. Meh, either way I hope to get it.
  6. haha, Thanks, YJ Stinger. I can't wait to take better pics with my new digicam!
  7. Yes, and there's two fields: the area where you're actually at a shop and another where you're more in a design area. And they can't REALLY guarantee you the one you're looking for. Jump in with both feet and hope the water's warm, I guess.
  8. Meh, definitely not one of the fastest ones out there, but one of the fastest ones in my area. Lots of V6ers are going to turbos and head swaps now, but I'll be doing a hell of a lot better than the typical buyers (and older Mustang GTs lol). Oh, and I'm almost ready to start saving for my 5th Gen, so I'm not worried about a $h!ty LS1. (lol I just called the LS1 $h!ty. I'm a joke.) I wanted to do GM but they said you'd have to wait literally a month or two before being selected and, out of hundreds of students that apply, only 20 get the job. Schuby, Continental said they were looking for people with lots of hands-on experience. The first year (or just term?) the students take particular systems (ABS, Traction control, suspension components, etc.) out of the car and re-test the car (a camoflauged one at that) with CT's new technology. They said that already knowing how to take stuff off the car and re-install it is a big plus because they won't have to teach you and you'll be able to move into the position much quicker and easier.
  9. As found on myspace:
  10. First I've ever driven: 2000 Durango at 14 and a half. Started driving on a permit at 15 or 15 and a half. I got my license at 16 and a half.
  11. Thanks. Have you had mechanics experience working on cars? I told them I've done this stuff and they were wide-eyed and all about finding out how much I can do on the car.I hit it off pretty well with Umicore, too, talking to them, but haven't received a call... (it's been two weeks I think.. maybe three?)
  12. Dude. WTF. lol. At least you weren't 100% positive on it. But you got it right.
  13. "When I hear you on the car radio you're gonna be a sensation." There's one for ya, BBL..
  14. Nah, they'd probably enjoy sharing a Miata or Del Sol or something. :AH-HA_wink: On a side note, I could really go for some Trix cereal..
  15. Wooohoo! Although it's the wrong song.
  16. I Can't Dance - Genesis?
  17. 1998 Camaro 3.8L Oh, and it's black. The foglights are clear (chrome, actually), but I'm painting part of that chrome black. She has a billet grille already and black "halo" headlights. To match everything, I'm painting the engine black/silver and the brake calipers silver/metallic blue (an accent color that will match the color of my interior LEDs, which I will one day change to all white and blue).
  18. I like that rearend, YJacket.
  19. My schedule for the rest of the week is as follows: Tuesday - Work from 5-9:30 with my best friend and favorite boss. Wednesday - Co-op job interview at Continental Teves, Inc. (my top choice for a co-op position!) for Kettering University. Then work from 5-9:30, again with my favorite boss. Thursday - Test in Psychology. Last day of school before Spring Break. Work from 2:30-6. Friday - Start tearing down engine to put in camshaft, valve springs/retainers, pushrods, ceramic-coated headers/y-pipe, 180* performance thermostat, spark plugs, and spark plug wires, along with a full computer tune (though that means I'll be without my PCM for 5 days lol). Saturday - Continue working on engine and paint intake manifold, valve covers, and maybe throttle body too. It should be on its way to being put back together and maybe (most likely) be all the way finished by Saturday night (it's supposedly a 13 hr project for first-timers and I've done this stuff a few times on various engines in auto class). We'll have about 6 hours to work on it Friday and 12 on Saturday. Sunday - Easter. Should be a good day, though we don't have any plans that I know of. If not, I'll probably end up painting my brake calipers. Monday through Saturday of next week - I'll be done with the engine work and most likely sealing my taillights, turnsignals, and foglamps (they all let moisture in somehow, so I'm going to put sealant around their edges). I might pick up and install brighter LEDs for the halos in my headlights. I also might modify my turn signals and paint the inside of them. Sometime during this period of time I should be able to get my 3.73 rear-end gears and Zexel-Torsen limited slip differential installed along with my shift kit; the guy who's supposed to do it keeps delaying for personal reasons (his wife was in the hospital and now his wife's grandmother passed away). Also during this timeframe I should be able to install my new 32mm frontsway bar/bushings (part used on Camaro SS cars) to replace my cracked stock 30mm swaybar, which is heavier and less nimble. In short, the next week is going to be amazing for me, but for much different reasons than others my age who plan to go on vacation down south to get drunk and have crazy sex with multiple partners. I'm having good, "clean" fun.

    Isn't It Funny

    Me too. I can't believe he direct quoted Josh's voicemail. He must've got the same one with "ocnblu" and "Billy" instead of my names?
  21. And I bet you could count on one hand how many Durangos you've ever seen in a town like Brookville... Just kidding, dude.How tall are you, lauren? Just curious..
  22. I think we're going to SC/NC after I get out of school for the summer. If not there, probably FL, but I'm almost positive we're set on the Carolinas again.
  23. The grille looks awesome in the teaser. Can't wait to see the whole thang!
  24. Well, that's only if you're doing it on a park bench during a thunderstorm. Otherwise, feel free to take your clothes off.
  25. Have a good one, gentlemen!
