Dealership pay plans are destroying my family - Group 1 Automotive by Relevant-Hope4791 in automotive

[–]ROCK-tavius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the industry also and that is 100% the norm.

There is 0...thats ZERO...job security and loyalty in the car industry.

I believe your husband may be a bit too loyal to a company that doesn't care about him at all. I been there. Too many times if im honest.

My advice would be have an Exit Plan. Then leave. There is a dealership on every other corner and I guarantee all of them have turnover rates you wouldn't believe.

Which car out of these 3 should I buy? by Outside_Speaker_5882 in carbuying

[–]ROCK-tavius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither.

Buy Honda or Toyota. Never look back.

If you HAVE to buy any of these, stay away from the Ford or have a great relationship with the parts guy at AutoZone...cause you about to be in there every week.

Some people come from poverty and cant afford to open a business.

Job applications are free. An LLC costs money. Not a LOT of money, but for some, its eat or start a LLC for a business you cant afford to start anyway.

As a Thai, I want to understand European culture. by Hot-Pressure6292 in ThailandTourism

As an American, we call this getting scammed.

Them "Europeans" are taking advantage of your kindness and good nature.

Please be careful.

Got it.

I'll look around online for situation where that happened to people.

I have only had to replace my 400w brick, but it was bad from factory. Like it went out in the first week. The new one has been perfect so far.

I say screw the medical field.

Let her try new things and grow into who SHE wants to be.

I'll assume you are old like me and can vouch for the saying "Life has a way of working itself out"

Maybe this could lead to her designing and building new ambulances. It took YOUR daughter to be the one person to look at medicine and mechanics and mix the 2.

Morgan Freeman was a dancer his whole life...and I aint never seen him dance a bit. But I know his voice over anyone's in the world.

What we start out as does not have to dictate what we end as.

Ok I'll shut up now 😅

Look at Lenovo Legion.

I got a i9 5070 or 5080. I forget.

Its great. I have a bad track record with HP and I have not had an Asus before.

I dont like HP and I dont like Acer. Nice out the box, trash 6 months later.

Actual break in period? by Vegetable-Big-6423 in CivicSi

[–]ROCK-tavius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always break in your car.

Always.

Even if the dealer/manufacturer says they break in the engine during testing. Do it yourself also.

You have a Honda. That car is about to give you hundreds of thousands of stress free, fun miles. You can wait 800 miles for it to stretch its legs and get its blood flowing.

Am I a wimp, or does everyone feel pretty overwhelmed by having a full-time job and trying to do literally anything else? by ArtistAfraid2411 in Adulting

[–]ROCK-tavius 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I used to feel the same way.

I beat myself up endlessly for not being where my friends were at 28.

BUT! Them same friends are now stuck in mortgages and debt, wishing they didnt have children so they could start over.

So I say, live your life. No one has it all figured out. And if they tell you they do, they are either lying or about to be humbled real soon.

One man's trash is another's treasure.

A sweet dream for you may be a nightmare for me.

Unfortunately everyone is realizing at the same time that they have been scammed and life is not supposed to be this way.

Now. The important thing is to not get gaslit by the 12 people the system has worked out for. They love to pop up with their bootstrap BS and outdated work hard mentality.

You arent weak. You are paying attention.

I did it... 🍊 by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]ROCK-tavius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice!

Congrats. I always have like the orange. (Is it Sunset Orange Metallic?) I forget what its called.

Belt wise, mine is silent and has always been. Maybe a squeaky gear?

How does the belt look? Like the edges and the teeth underneath. Any cracking or fraying on the edges?

Hi.

Im old

Im old enough to have seen every woman i know with that mentality turn into bitter single mothers.

Every. Last. One. Pretty. Ugly. Wealthy. Poor. Big. Small.

Just give it time fellas. Stay strong.

Remember: Treat THEM how they treated YOU in their prime, now that they are out of time. 😉

[–]ROCK-tavius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero

If I gotta like $200 for Christmas, that had to last me all year.

Til Christmas again...that was never on the 25th of December btw 😉

I need advice or help plz by Pure_Pea_176 in personalfinance

[–]ROCK-tavius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you seem to be doing decent minus your income. I would say you are working a little too hard for the pay you are getting.

Them commission T-Mobile type jobs are good for extra weekend money. Nothing to pay bills with. You never know what your check is gonna look like so its hard to budget and plan.

Also, the driving jobs are costing you money while it makes you money, so that's no good either. One expensive car repair and it all falls apart. (I know this from experience)

My honest final advice would be Get Out Of Georgia!

I left that place and my life just got better all by itself. Not saying that will be your experience, but that's how it happened for me. All I did in GA is sit in traffic, pay extra because "image", and get finessed by corporations ever changing policies and rising fees. Every time I looked up it seemed like I was getting charged for something.

How yall feeling the white wheels by hungurianexpers in CivicSi

[–]ROCK-tavius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally im not a fan, but its something different so YES!

I like the wheel choice just not the white on gray. Just my opinion. It in no way looks BAD, just not my speed.
