New guy got sent home last night for yelling and cursing at the supervisor. I went up to the supervisor and started biotching at him about not sending me home all the times I have asked him too. Now I know the way to get sent home hahaha. Now I will have to wait and see if this guy still has a job tonight.

2005 Honda Accord Lx with 73k on the odo.

Grandpa's car when he passed, was sitting in his garage unused. Has almost new tires on it and it's pretty clean. Need to have it inspected and do the fluids since idk the last time any of it was done. Going to use it for a while until I save up cash and get all my things in order again. Maybe next summer I'll be rolling in an m3.

Make sure you get the transmission serviced. They are generally only good for about 150k in the accords and they are not cheap to replace. We paid $1400 to have a used one put in my wife's accord a rebuild would have been $1900.

Oh and make sure you get the tune up done there are some parts that are supposed to be changed then other than the usual stuff; if not it will start running like shiat and start Jerking while you are driving it. Another thing to keep an eye out for is an electrical issue with the radio. My wife's will turn on and off by itself and generally at full volume. This also causes the battery to die one in awhile because the lights on the radio does not shut off all the time when she shuts the car off.

Yep was gonna do some stuff on my own, and then bring it over to the stealership to have them do a once over and what not. Knowing gpa he most likely was bringing it to the dealership for regular maintenance. However, I need to make sure I have stealership money.

Will probably be replacing the radio in august. This doesn't have an aux input and I don't have cds so...I will lose my mind if I can't listen to anything but radio. Most likely I will upgrade the unit in the X and move the current X one into the honda.

There is a trim price that you can buy so you can replace the factory unit cost around $200; I believe it relocates all the controls for the heater and stuff. Other wise you will have to put a single din in the little cubby.

So their office is in Fredericksburg but they're hiring for a project they're doing 3 hours away and I would basically have to stay there during the week or drive back and forth everyday and never sleep. I like the company and they said they would hang on to my resume if they get something closer they would give me a call

Be a road warrior and only be home weekends. It's the cool thing to do.
