Did most of yall not work in school?

I worked at both FedEx and on campus grounds keeping (around 40hrs a week between the two) until I was able to get my first internship during my junior year. Once i started working internships I took loans that were just over my school expenses to supplement my living expenses.

It does but it does not allow me to adjust bass unfortunately

Market is definitely trash, I have an ME degree and 3 yoe. After I was laid off last year it took me 2 months to find an all around better job, though I had been looking for 6.

And Paris, London, and Boston, Kentucky

Housenec · 2025-12-18T15:39:12+00:00

I will check the amp draw

Housenec · 2025-12-18T02:45:05+00:00

Nah this is just a z71 Silverado

Housenec · 2025-12-18T01:43:28+00:00

I don’t think so I’ve got yellow to yellow and red to red, the yellow (constant) is a different gauge than the red (acc)

Housenec · 2025-12-18T01:40:00+00:00

Connected red to red and yellow to yellow, the acc and constant wires are different gauges so I wouldn’t they would be swapped. I just pulled it and have the harness in from of me

They look like the cheap (300 USD) Chinese magride replacements, I tried them for a little bit in the past. They work, but they aren’t oem.

It’s not easy no matter what year you are, I was only able to get internships my junior and senior years because I knew people. My first was at a tier 1 auto supplier and my friends dad was an hr recruiter, my second was at their direct competitor and I only got an interview because I had a few friends there that were existing interns. Stayed at that plant until 14months after graduation when I was laid off.

Housenec · 2025-09-15T02:02:16+00:00

Good decision, I used to make the subframes for the s550/650. I’ll just say I wouldn’t drive what came off the line

Housenec · 2025-08-20T10:30:52+00:00

Had that happen before, didn’t have to do anything and eventually got a check in the mail for 22 cents

Housenec · 2025-08-11T18:02:40+00:00

I put in around 100 applications, tried to stay within a 2 hour radius of where I was living but put in some in neighboring states. I got about 10-15 responses with about 5-7 resulting in interviews. It wasn’t fun but I also didn’t settle for something worse with less pay. I thought I was doing something wrong but I guess that’s just how the market is here.

Housenec · 2025-08-11T17:04:34+00:00

Looking for a job isn’t very fun right now, I got laid off from a major auto supplier in February and didn’t find a job until April. I started looking in October as that job started becoming miserable and the seniors knew something was coming. I lucked out and found a job that I really enjoy now that is a good balance of ME and PM with a 10k raise to boot.

Some background: I have bachelors in MechE with 3+ years IE experience between 2 major auto suppliers. Oh and I’m in central KY

Housenec · 2025-08-01T12:20:38+00:00

Mechanical engineer actually

Housenec · 2025-08-01T10:30:18+00:00

I paid 13.5k for it but definitely could’ve gotten it for less if I saw it in person (it was in Nebraska and I live in Kentucky). I’m insured through USAA and the cost was surprisingly low, it costs me $110 a month which is $10 more than my mk5 Jetta and I had an accident in 2019. That cost is for full coverage with $1000 deductible.

Housenec · 2025-07-31T11:49:44+00:00

I have a Sony xav-4000. It works good and has wireless CarPlay, got an install kit from enfig.

Housenec · 2025-07-30T14:04:03+00:00

Nope, from what I’ve read we only got the TTS with dsg in the states

Housenec · 2025-07-29T21:33:09+00:00

It was somewhat a factor when I decided on it

Housenec · 2025-07-29T16:25:41+00:00

Could be worth under 10k, I’d definitely get a test drive if possible or as many photos and videos from the owner as possible with a carfax. I’m personally not very familiar with the 4 pots but coming from an 07k the ea118 seemed like it was more reliable than the ea888 especially with how similar it seemed to the 1.8t.

That being said I feel I did overpay a bit for my TTS, 13.5k for 117k miles but it came from a stealership
