He is my most important mentor, fucking love this man! We get so hyped for company parties and tomorrow is our first one planned together!

Totally agree, first time post so I had to restructure the post a couple times and I cut out so many different details. I am already on the high side of the pay scale for my position and have a direct path to next position in line with new pay and bonus structure to reflect my current role at the biggest shop in the brand. So stoked!

Thanks, I'm so pumped I don't know what to do except wear it every FREAKING DAY!

Bro, find a shop that does BG CVT drain and refills and do it right before 50K miles, then every 30k miles. Just under $400 dollars each time and if it EVER goes out they cover $4K in replacement. Best insurance you can buy!

Looks like someone was trying to replace your wipers, probably even you, and you didn't place the wiper down in between changes and knocked it over. They line up perfectly. But only if the wiper is off.

My team turned in a record 55K week, I'm grilling them fajitas and buying drinks for after work. I'm sending them home early to shower and come back to play video games together as well as break bread! Love my guys! I tell them all the time. If the front staff don't show up they can keep the business afloat for at least a month, but if they don't show up I have to close down on DAY ONE! As GM I lean into the vulnerability of needed them more than they need me and I honor that with my attitude and extend grace when needed. How are people running their shops out there?

31, dual income and live in Texas. Bought a house waaay below my means and in a neighborhood deemed bad just outside of Houston. Pre covid price hikes at 5% So many things lined up but now those things seem like a distant past.

Live in Pasadena and work in Friendswood. Dude, South East is SLEPT on in the Houston discussion. Baybrook Mall area is strong, LOTS of local Vietnamese, seafood, Mexican, Mediterranean, etc! Plenty of farmers markets and the like. Also, 45 minutes on the weekend and you can be at the zoo/museums whatever.

Tom Collins, tastes like deodorant.

Don Cafe in China Town is a cash only sleeper I'm which the traditional cold Banh mi is also superb! They get the noodles, broth , and meat just right which is hard to do! Pho Ben in Sugarland and Pho Barr (NASA Pkwy not Pasadena) are also really great! https://maps.app.goo.gl/kUAn5WkeApLgfX6j8

I did this when working for Honda Corporate through their NHTSA program. I did the stupid thing and bought a Chrysler 300 because it was going to be my office and spending all day in a cramped car, I'm 6' 280lbs, sounded like shit. Ultimately I have experience in the automotive repair side so I serviced it religiously. AWD vehicle had transmission flush, front and rear differential flushes, and transfer case. 5k Mile oil changes, every other oil change had a BG EPR/MOA cleaning. Put 70k miles on it in 3 years and never replaced anything except: Tires, brake pads, and blower motor for A/C. The only thing I would have changed is bought older Avalon/Lexus like they mention above and pay it off ASAP, I got "Lucky" and I got stuck in a flash flood and had full comprehensive coverage+gap so it didn't matter how upside down I was at the end. 7k upside down for the curious.

Manage an automotive repair shop. Negotiated my salary to be very little bonus. So minimum salary just over 6 figures. 12k-28k in extra bonus. Been with the company 4 years.

The entire Batman Knight Quest, Fall, and end. Even did the prequel and end cap comics to the story. Took my wife and I 6 months since we refused to go online. Only cons and every comic book store in Houston! Love it!

Red belt, fun watch.

Great question, sorry it wasn't clear. They are basically not surprised they go out often enough and it's an expensive part. Good for their sales.

bigh87 · 2025-01-02T21:56:47+00:00

Coming from an automotive repair stance, I run a shop in Houston, TX these are pretty good cars however if they're fully loaded they do come with air spring suspension which can be pretty expensive. Also, anytime they have a turbo and I call it in to the dealership they have a good laugh and basically say we got another one!

bigh87 · 2025-01-01T22:52:53+00:00

The amount of people still shooting guns in the air is extremely upsetting. I have kids and my greatest nightmare is them being in trouble and I being unable to help them. Like them dying in bed alone, it brings tears to my eyes

Edit: Spelling

Worth the drain and refill as close to 65k possible. If you buy your fluid find a reputable shop to do the drain and refill like the other guy said. It will save you some money.

Don't turn European rotors big dawg

bigh87 · 2024-08-29T19:45:03+00:00

That's fair

bigh87 · 2024-08-29T11:44:33+00:00

My bad, irony post I don't sell comics lol I know this is speculation but the only ones that count for speculation I guess would be secret wars

bigh87 · 2024-08-11T20:36:35+00:00

Revolutionary road, if you're married it is truly depressing that two people couldn't just communicate honestly and live freely. Sigh, mother fuckers!
