3) stay in your rut job long a little longer... and justify it by telling yourself you can bike to work



Seriously though, my old rental place was in Southwood, and I rode my bike to work from there too... this is maybe half the ride as it was from Southwood...

I'd prefer to ride bike when it's over fifteen degrees in the morning ~ but considering how bad last year was, and my terrible luck for needing to drive on any recent day where I could have ridden... I"m just going to try ot pull it off tomorrow...

It's all about working in a grocery store. Lots of good memories from Safeway. Whether it was 2.5 hour coffee breaks to playing baseball with broken pieces of pallets and boxes upon boxes of fresh mushrooms as baseballs to power pallet jack bumper cars. Goood times.

ya at little caesars we had food fights after we closed. used whole mushrooms that left welts, dough that stuck to everything and flour got everywhere lol. it was fun.

at the end of the night after the dishes were done, there would be a huge goop of dough that had been in the dish water, and it was sooooo sticky that it stuck to anything you put it on (mainly my managers shirt lol)

Hey Jordan, this might interest you! https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...header-258461/

I know you can't put it on your car til you pay your own insurance but you could stock pile parts til you do or sneak it on

Well I talke to a couple of people and it looks like Jonathan is gonna be coming with me to the Dyno. I talked to mark and he said that he will be there so I'm sure between the three of us we will get a video or atleast some pictures of the run and how low my car did! lol

Oh and I know that baltbitch is gonna say that I have 245 hp so that's her guess! lol

If you still wanna come jordan if you can make the next one I'll reserve the spot for you!

well change it then. it's not like it's set in stone

I'm gonna say I'll hit the 238ish mark. from what I've seen, the GM stage 2 has tuning issues
