Automatic though =/ and the tires are tiiiiiny! I took the twisty way home and the tires were screaming and there was so much body roll. The interior is pretty nice though!

Nikko that's why you always unplug the battery before any electrical work.

awww the sedan?

jk jk....i haven't seen what the sedan has to offer power output wise - but i know the 2.5liter mazda3 is rated to have 160hp x 160tq - even with it's parasitic loss, it's still pretty nimble and comfortable.

best part: I CAN GO UP DRIVEWAYS WITHOUT GOING SIDEWAYS!!!

Really no clue if they are being tapped into the right wires then there should be no chance of a screw up. Check again to make sure we hooked them into the correct bundle of wires, if not we can solder some suuuper long wires to extend Rodger's and tap them into the door or map lights

anyways, just got back from my first day of my new job...originally posted this in the b@w thread

Repost:
just got back from my first day at my new gig.

Mannnnnnn - i'm havin' too much fun...the department i work in is all females (14 total) and 7 are attractive and 2 are EXTREMELY attractive!!

I have two immediate bosses. 1 is a dude(only other guy in the department besides me) but he's pushin' 50 somethin' w/3 kids expecting kids - not exactly peers, but we do have a similar sense of humor - and my other boss is a complete and total MILF. Mid 30's at most, tan skin, light colored hair, asian (of course) and hawaiian decent and great body. Great personality and firm demeanor.

The environment is wayyyy comfortable except for the fact that i got a crappy desk (facing away from teh hottness) but gives a great view of everyone comin' back in from lunch

Also had a great time on the exit, one of the girls i found attractive walked me out and asked me if i really liked it there - i said 'absolutely' - she said 'good, you're funny, i'd like to see you come back'



i almost jumped in her car....
