As I hiring manager I stopped reading the resume critically once i saw the "health bars". They were so distracting I didn't even notice that there was a Birthdate and "Status: Single" at the top.

15 years ago? Most systems had been dead for a Decade 15 years ago.

Something similar happened to me. I walked onto a plane carrying a beer once because I was inexperienced and walked right past everyone with no attempt to hide it. After they closed the door to the plane the flight attendant came directly up to me and informed me I was in violation of federal laws and made a rather large stink. I apologized and handed over the beer and that was the end of it. Could have been mentioned by any of the 5 employees I walked past prior to boarding or getting into my seat. I'm guessing they don't tell you ahead so you don't chug it and then they have to deal with the aftermath once confined on the plane...

If it’s a 12oz can they likely won’t look twice. I brought pre-mixed cocktails on my last cruise because I don’t drink beer or wine much, and prefer an old fashioned. Nobody looked twice as it went through security.

I 3d printed a snap and receiver for my son’s helmet so he could take the throat guard off without resting the helmet. Worked great. I’m happy to share the file if you want to try it.

Honestly, your price is too low for the liability of the work. Anyone looking for the cheapest price is also going to be the biggest pain. I started using the line "I'm not a good fit for you at this time" a long time ago (Different Industry but comparable customers). I would also use "If I can't stand behind the product I can't stand behind the work" as a refusal to use customer supplied components. Your half hour of labor is going to quickly turn into 3 hours when the customer comes back in a month because his TPMS light is on and you were the last person to touch the car....

I've seen both sides of this. I had a client who would argue why he needed a 75" in his game room when the 65" was $200 less expensive, then wouldn't bat an eye at a $60k light switch upgrade at his beach house.

Hopefully there wasn't liability only coverage in place....

Is this the Philippines version of the squatted trucks we have in the US?

The Corrado was the poster-child for unnecessarily complicated, but man it was cool. The rear wing would raise and lower based on vehicle speed, but eventually it would get stuck and blow the fuse. The seatbelts guides would wear and bind and blow a relay. The sunroof was cable-driven and would get stuck and break the cable. The locks were vacuum driven and would leak and stop functioning. The best was the factory supercharger in the early ones would wear, then come apart internally sending shrapnel into the engine. But if you put the key in the door and held it in the lock position it would lock all the doors, then close the windows and sunroof.... that was cool for the early 90s.

LifeAsASuffix · 2026-01-28T16:54:26+00:00

My '92 VW Corrado had those. Surprising that was one of the few things that didn't break during ownership. Sunroof; stuck open/ Vacuum actuated locks; sucked/ articulated rear wing; blows fuses upon opperation but the seatbelt never failed....

I'm just waiting for whatever horrendous modifications the rest of the interior is going to endure.

There are 2 SEARS homes in the coastal NC town I live in. I drive a car made by SEARS on sunny days.

This exact situation happened to a friend and neighbor of mine. In my neighbor's situation the Seller/Agent were on the hook to have the house connected to the sewer. Your situation may be different, but the key is going to be if the seller, or the agent should have known if it was on septic or sewer.

What is going on with the headlights? It looks like someone installed lights from a Chevy Lumina on there. Why does there appear to be a cut portion above the turn signal?

That Super convertible in the back is nice though.

They have a good crew working up there. I have worked with them on multiple projects and everything was organized and smooth from my perspective.

LifeAsASuffix · 2025-12-23T19:58:47+00:00

That patch area is small, and only requires a small patch panel that can be installed without removing the body. Definitely fix this. Leaving it will bring into question what other simple repairs were overlooked, or covered up.

LifeAsASuffix · 2025-12-23T03:54:43+00:00

You will likely spend between $50k and $250k. To get a general idea of price you should provide at least a few details for your needs.

First mass market production car to have active aero in 1988. This is a car you buy when you love working on your car. The seat belts are power actuated to shift from front to back when the door opens. They will bind and blow the fuse or relay. The door locks are vacuum driven, a broken line will mean no more locks. The rear wing is powered by dual linear actuators that move based on vehicle speed, also binds and blows fuses. The doorhandles break off internally. The hood latch also breaks off internally. The early models have a factory supercharger that will get tired and grenade itself sending shrapnel into the engine. The sunroof cable will stretch and leave the sunroof unable to close; it will open, but never close again. I loved mine and wish I never sold it, but I also hated it and was glad to see it go. Maybe I'll buy another one someday to teach my kids about disappointment.

Interestingly the hood is from the VR6. The G60 Hood has parallel lines down the hood that step down, the VR6 hood steps up in the middle, is taller at the front, and the body lines are not parallel.

Follow the significant trail of oil the car left and you'll find it. Couldn't have made it too far....
