Yea the on call guy was no where near home since his shift technically doesn't start for another hour. so being the backup and having no life I put the weights down and drove my happy *** back home.

What chaps my *** is these fuckign units are down all mother F***** day and these Dipshetts decide to call in at the end of the day versus checking the theaters and calling it in earlier...

This one in particular has been supplying **** temps for the whole week...

Sadly we are technically a vendor so I cant be like... "well you knew it wasn't cooling all week so you waited till Friday night to call it in?"

I have to kiss *** regardless of what the situation is...

that worked for a while but we just recently removed the budget from their bottom line. we actually found most of our stores defering service for decades and the stores were in bad shape (mostly outside the metro areas)

God, it's nice to drive the 8 again... Just a few "That Feeling When" I wanted to share.

>tfw you're driving down the street and look over to see your car's rolling reflection in the passing shop windows

>tfw you revmatch downshift perfectly

>tfw the light turns green and no on is in front of you, and you can give it a full boot to hear that purring engine roar to life

>tfw you perfectly clip an apex

>tfw you realize exactly how dangerous your car really is

>tfw walking away from your car after parking it anywhere, and you can't help but look back at it

>tfw you finish up a run, turn you car off and open the hood to listen to a beautiful chorus of ticks and pops

>tfw we all form such powerful relationships with lifeless pieces of metal, plastic, rubber, and wiring and that the very laws of nature will succeed in ending those relationships one day

Mostly stolen from /o/ but ALL of these happened yesterday. Should be swinging by 9k's today to check his progress. Looks like Shady is over helping Austin/Houston?

I couldn't man handle the manifold and turbo up there by myself, I forgot how damn tight it is even with the engine moved towards the passenger side. The turbo has to go up in first, then the manifold. Claudia did her best to help but I need help to get it bolted up.
