Got the Nine_Ball boot

**JEB99TA** · 05-22-2006, 09:48 AM

Got the boot from the LS1Tech owner. Guess he didn't like me replying to him with the Wavey-finger.

Just wanted to say it's good to see a lot of familiar faces here ... thought I wouldn't know anyone here. Nice interface and good user-friendly site. Congrat's to whoever is running this one. I think I might just stay ... sure won't use that Wavey-finger anymore ... LOL!

Life goes on.

It's truly sad how much he makes profit wise off of that website. you can see that by the list of cars he has.

Anyway, he was at my exit one day on his way back to texas getting gas, I thought about stopping and giving him a nice one finger salute.

hell, we pass this around alot.

welcome home, find your way on to the train and get to know a bunch of us.

**Zboner** · 05-22-2006, 11:34 AM

yea man, welcome, looks like some people cant take a joke or anything, were all cool over here

**JEB99TA** · 05-22-2006, 02:49 PM

Nice place to be. Thanks for all the welcomes. I won't say anything about Nine Ball over at the 'other' site, except

LOL! I just couldn't help myself ... sorry guys/gals. Nine Ball's got buds/mods here and he'll permananetly ban me at the 'other' place, but, I don't care. Wasn't much fun over there anymore because the mods were getting too snobbish and dictatorial. There are a lot of good ones there too, but, the bad ones ruined it for all of them. JRP was one of my favorites and helped me a lot. Ed Blown Vert, WILWAXU. Even ole Unit213 came to be a good friend. JimmyBlue, Robert, MrR23, could go on and on. Lots of good mods and people there. But, it's changed since the time I joined that site and I don't think I wanna' go back.

My objective is to give back as much as I can and be a positive influence to this site. Hopefully, I can give back as much as some of the good folks over 'there' gave to me. Again, thanks and I look forward to hanging out with you folks.

yeah that probably has nothing to do with him being a mechanical engineer or anything

Ask a sponsor how much they pay a month, or for a 6 months to a year run. Then look at the sponsor list.

Wasnt brad almost pulling 15-20k a year of this place before he fucked it?

**skywalkrNCSU** · 05-22-2006, 03:54 PM

you dont get near enough money to do what he does with just that site. and he doesnt get all of it.

Well im sure with a sponsor list that streches beyond thier posting forums him not getting all of it does not mean he is not collecting a serious chunk of change from it. Not saying "Fuck him" im saying alot of that could probably buy him a couple of cars over the years.

**JEB99TA** · 05-22-2006, 04:52 PM

I'm surprised mech engineers only make $22.00 per hour ... thought you guys made REAL money?

**predator** · 05-22-2006, 05:02 PM

im sure some do... but im in AR and just got out of college... about $40k a years is pretty good for just out of college... and with over time... im making it...

the problem seems to be alot of ppl have figured out that engineering is a decent job... 4 years of school and descent pay so the market is flooded... but honestly where im working even hi profile engineers MIGHT make 6 figures.

**JEB99TA** · 05-22-2006, 05:21 PM

That was the same problem after I entered the Network Engineering field ... got in before the field exploded and it's been flooded for about 10 years now. I think any engineering filed makes about $35K- $40K starting out.

After I retired, I took up this as a second career. I'm 48 and still can only afford ONE built car ... LOL!

**predator** · 05-22-2006, 05:51 PM

right now im just holding tight till i can get a job i really want... and im trying to get a few toys along the journey... maybe by the time im 50 ill have a company of my own making the big bucks and driving exotics...

or maybe ill just be able to skim by like im doing now...

Damn I guess I got lucky making my 50K straight out

**skywalkrNCSU** · 05-22-2006, 08:35 PM

you are working for the wrong place if that is all you are making with a degree in mech engineering. i have friends who just graduated in mechanical and civil making 60k+ easy.

**predator** · 05-23-2006, 12:52 AM

what part of the country? it might look like they are making more on paper, but cost of living might be more... i make more than all of my friends that graduated with me do... some are working for like $38k and i should make about $52k after over time...

and back to the subject at hand... the whole mod scene is y i stick around here and dont cruise the other sites... no telling how many flame wars ive found myself in and i have one warning... and that was for porn nor for telling someone to go shove a cock up thier ass till its stops crowing...

-me

p.s. damn it its 4 am and im on ls1.com... i have to work to early... and this site means way too much to me...

**JEB99TA** · 05-23-2006, 01:59 AM

I guess the Wavey-finger was a bit much to do to the owner of the other site. I sure didn't mean it as shoving a c**** up his you-know-what. It was cocky, I'll admit, but, I think it was taken too personal and I got booted for 90 days. I guess being the owner of the site, he has to make exmples of people who break the rules and I DID break the rules (I think).

Whether posting the Wavey-finger or posting porn, it's both breaking the rules ... both here and there. I don't think one is worse than the other, as long as it is in good taste ... depends on the person, I guess. You got your warning. I got mine. We both broke the rules and now we both pay the price.

Ironic that the very first thing I did was to read the forum rules at this site. So, there was a benefit and learning point from giving old Nine Ball the Wavey-finger. So, the 3-month boot helped me to grow at my old age of 48. Goes to show you're never too old to learn.
