ok sounds good, i dont necessarily need a side job but just want a good shop that does quality work
by the way thanks to who ever gave the idea of putting a gauge in the spot where the trunk button is. It is going to look great when i get it finished ( got it all molded now just needs to be sanded+ painted)

From what I'm told, RaceCity was running some special cars on the track until 9, and then still shut down at 11:30. A lot of unhappy people. NOT worth the $25 or whatever it is.
It's nice that we have a 1/4 mile still in Calgary, but the people who run it are fucked. Aside from the **** quality of the place...

No plans for a drag strip anyways and that seems to be what most of the peeps on this site would want.
I really hope this does go through, looks like a pretty decent layout with the ability to section it into shorter tracks. Don't think I can swing a condo there though
And it's not that far away Pickles, hour and a half from the north side if you stick to the limit....and no one does that out here Well worth it for a day of heel and toe exercises

Seems like it is the Pontiac dealerships that are taking the biggest hit so far...except for the bigger ones like Shaw. I know Shaw is not getting closed because they sent out an email to everyone who has bought a vehicle that they will be losing the Pontiac brand, and the Hummer brand now also....but they are still staying open.

ya. its mainly the pontiac ones because pontiac is done here soon. it just sucks cuz there's no gaurantee that i will be able to get back with **** north. we will find out in the next month who is going to the north store. and i will start looking after that. it just sucks cuz i like shaganappi. who knows i might not even stay doing mechanics i might try and go back to doing computers

Yeah it sucks, but with GM going through the troubles that they are it was expected that there would be cuts. I am sure though that you will find a new job bro. At least you have lots of time to figure things out.

ya its just a matter of do i want to stay with mechanics or try another field related to cars, maybe professional detailing or maybe a customizing shop. only time will tell i suppose. either way i'm sure i will be fine. just got to tighten the belt with my spending and get some of my little bills paid off before december is all. or win the lottery
#7271
lol, detailing doesn't pay enough, that's why i got out of it. however customizing is fun to do, but you take some lumps to get good money. i guess that's like mechanics. well make sure you still go in july. hate to see you miss that because of a small hiccup like that. just so you know it takes a couple of years to make alright money in my field. if you might be interested in.

well as long as i can find a job that either pays a little more or the same as i do right now i'll be fine. i couldn't survive if i took a pay cut. and mark, you guys got any openings lol
#7273
lol, not really but if you need i can probally get you hooked up with a diff. company. always a job in this field. not many people can do it but i think you might be able too. you have a good mind set for it.

I know my company isn't hiring. I've been seeing a lot of layoffs in the IT industry, and I'm not sure how easy of a time you would have getting a decent paying gig without experience....
