    Mechanics hourly wages?

    I'm with you on that one. As far as the Honda, Infiniti and Volvo dealership group I was at - the service writers made diddly-squat compared to what a skilled mechanic could make. Our Infiniti and Volvo guys were payed well, but I don't think any of them was making more than 50k. See my above...

    Mechanics hourly wages?

    Fresh kids out of UTI made about $12/hr doing lube @ the Volvo dealership I used to work at. After they were done at UTI, if we hired them - it was @ $15/hr until they got ASE and Volvo certified. Once certified and doing good work they were bumped to ~$18-$22 hr. From that point (this would...

    man i want to buy this car

    What, you don't have anything better to do? :3d_frown: Yeah, you right. I got sort of sick of people and their comments. I'd never rip on a guy just because their car wasn't my taste. I guess it just makes them assholes. To each his own man, you don't have to be a prick about it.

    man i want to buy this car

    this is a repost goddamn it! I wish people would stop making fun of my car - I'm sick of it. I have put my blood, sweat and tears into it. It may not be your style - but that doesn't mean it's not nice. The interior is great (it looks a little strange in the pic - but it looks phenomenal...

    "WORK it baby, WORK it!!!" *PICS*

    I'll work on them. I started to look at #26 - there are quite a few speckles either from dirt on the lens or light artifacts - as I brighten it up, those really pop out - so it'll take a bit to try to clean some of it up. I should have a few minutes to spend on them tonight.

    Bomex Rears - Post Em Gaps or no gaps

    Oh, I most definitely agree. The sideskirts are OK, but I cannot stand the front or rear. I was simply commenting about the person who was upset that the bottom of many of the cars were not uniform. The point was that the way to get a consistent line at the bottom was to use a kit that matched.

    If you want any of these cleaned up properly, send me the full size files - these are too small to do much with (notice the pixelation at the bottom):

    Paint is chipping but the car hasnt moved at all!

    If there was a quick change in weather it could definitely cause cracking. Improper mixture of bondo, primer, and paint (to a much lesser extent) and insufficient drying time before paint application could cause your issues. It is far more likely for it to crack from some sort of impact...

    Bomex Rears - Post Em Gaps or no gaps

    I'm with you IJ, I used to do bodywork for a living - so I can certainly do just about anything in that area myself. More often than not, I find myself paying one of my old coworkers to do a side job for me. It's just not something that brings me enjoyment any more. I also am very lucky...

    What does everyone think of Cooleeze Products?

    Oh, don't get me wrong - I am not trying to say they are a bad company or anything like that. Just relating personal experiences as well as those I have heard from others. Greg was actually very nice to me. I bought a DP and after not getting any emails/calls/anything after a month, I...
