*** March Mischief Train... ***

I preferred shots myself

These days, I rarely drink...

Same here. Back in the day it was Wild Turkey or Captain and Coke. On a hot day, nothing went down nicer than a Chambord Sour. In the past 12 years, I may have had 2-3 mixed drinks and a few glasses of wine. My drink of choice now is Diet Coke, which is probably worse for me than all of the above.

garlic, onions, currie if you're into weird shit

They all smell good imo.

i made a 60 hr week this week and only worked 40. Flat Rape pay scale actually paying off for once.

[SHines-IT]

Even though I make enough money to not need to, I got a weekend job... Only becuase I thought the job was fun and would have done it for free, best part. I get $16.50 an hour, lmao...

Man, this shyte is crazy. WABC and Cablevision are at war because WABC wants more money for their programming from Cablevision. So...what does WABC do? Pull their programming. Now, when customers turn to channel 7, there is a looped ad from Cablevision telling customers why WABC pulled their programming. See, the thing I wanna know is:

1-WABC TV is linked to Disney and ESPN. Since they are all linked, won't they all lose MORE money since they pulled their programming?

2-Don't they get enough money from sponsors already?

3-If there are any lawsuits, who can sue who?

What's the pay time on the wedge install? What will the next throttle fix pay? Has the UAW stepped into Toyota plants? It would explain the quality plummet

if you just do the shim it pays .7, If you do both the shim and cut the pedal, replace the tibia pad under the carpet it pays 2.3 as they cut the time on the shim down to .3....... Just the tibia pad and pedal cut is 2 hrs. When you cut the pedal you also reflash the computer too. So all in all it pays pretty nice. The quality of the cars isnt sooo bad as that they are doing a lot of parts sharing. The build quality itself is very good. Yes a lot of plastic though. But between the pedals and all the upsell I been doing, I did well this week. I bang out some pedals and I look over every car I pull in. Nothing comes in my bay with over 15k miles on it and it not have SOME sort of recommendation on it. Thats just how you make money in this business. Good techs look over cars, chances are they need something. That oil change can turn into brakes, tires, power steering flush and 2 filters. What was once a .3 is now 4.5

[310stanger]

Let me break that down easier as it reads confusing

Op codes for the recalls....
1. AOA: just the shim replacement. this as a standaloe= .7
2. 90L: Cut the pedal, replace the tibia pad under carpet and reflash computer= 2.0 add on the AOA to the 90L and its 2.3

I've made 14.6 in one day with the help of that recall

AT Furd pretty much every car gets a 27 point inspection regardless what its in for. Even the crappy .2 brake switch recall

[Transamws6]

That's really interesting stanger, good info man.

Quick random question for ya here since you work at toyota.

I have no idea if the specific vehicles have departments and certain technicians work on them or whatever but just out of curiosity, do you work on the fj cruiser's by chance? If so, are those trucks built really well? Anything that my father needs to look out for with his? He has 33k i *think* and it's an 08, it's been completley trouble free, all stock besides it having more aggresive tires and a set of trd wheels.

they still do the brake switch recall on taurus? shit that came out when I was there like 3 yrs ago! Yeah most of the manufacturers have mandatory multi points, but i actually look at the cars. Quickly, but I get em in and look at em and make some recommedations fast.

we dont see a lot of them where I work as they arent a huge seller in that area but, I haven't seen any with known problems. The truck seems to be built really rugged to me. Theres been SOME I saw online that have some frame rot in off roading conditions but i dont think its common. They have great brakes, great engine and trans etc.

Oh ok cool man, thanks for the feedback.

But yea, that thing has just been a champ, just an awesome truck so far, my dad has had 0 problems out of it, and he's been owning it for over a year, the only dd'er vehicle my dad has had that wasn't riddled with problems. Was an excellent buy imo.

I've heard of that frame rot issue before also, i don't know the deal with that, but that truck isn't really heavily used in off road conditions so i guess he doesn't have to worry about that.

But anyways, thanks again for the info man.
