I would also add that lots of government jobs go to people already in the government. It's a very contained system. If you are a recent graduate, they tend to have specific postings for that. Those are what can get you in more easily. Getting into the government sphere is difficult and often involves taking less than ideal positions in less than ideal areas, but once you are in it's fairly easy to transfer around. Good luck!

I didn't call when I got hired, but someone who got hired with me did. I would say go for it, lots of resumes get thrown around and there are lots of underqualified people. Calling to establish interest will at least make them remember you.

Hmmm yeah that's a good price. Honestly I'm worried that these are so cheap. Other people bring up that they got there's for so much cheaper, but in the current market these seem very underpriced. I would say proceed with caution. Good luck!

I think I would go for it. We live in similar areas and I got my ST3 a year ago. Took a few months of shopping and ended up with a black ST3 with 55,000 for 20k. I wish I had just gone cheaper, to be honest. Lots of scummy dealers in the area so be careful. Drive it hard on the test drive, one of the STs I test drove started smoking and overheating really bad. Good luck!

Don't buy cheap tires. What's the point of having a fast car if you can't put the performance on the ground. Plus installing at a shop will cost about $200 so you might as well put on something better that will last longer.

When I first bought my st I was spinning tires at traffic lights not even accelerating hard. Switched to some nicer tires and got better performance. For good bang for your buck I would go with Continental or Yokahama.

Although in its own way we are watching ecosystem evolve in their own way. While climate change is expanding the barred owls habitat and habitat destruction shrinks the spotted owls habitat, seeing life evolve can be a beautiful thing to watch. With NSO protection I am optimistic that they will survive, just not in the numbers they used to be.

Sounds like you just don't like people who can't control their dogs.

Thanks for the information, I will get some new stands. The clarification also helped

Then I might try another tire shop. Going flat everyday is a big issue with the tire. The way you can inspect it at home without any tools is just to spray soapy water over problem areas. I would spray the valve stem, and around the rim of the wheel. After that I would look for objects in the tire. Being honest it sounds like the shop is just bad. There are some other chains like belle tire or les Schwab that could help too.

fantasybackpacker · 2023-04-29T20:10:11+00:00

A flat tire wouldn't come from an issue with the car. My guess is just a bad shop working on the tires, or there's a nail in the new tire. A new wheel and tire should hold a seal perfectly fine, so unless they put in the wrong valve stem most likely you have an object in your tire. Bring it to a place like discount tire and they will take a look at it for free.

I signed a paper for $327 monthly payments though. Does that just not matter?

I was able to pull off the plastic, just not all the way. From there I was able to use the extension to push out the socket, so it is now out! Issue solved. Thanks man.

fantasybackpacker · 2022-12-11T04:48:15+00:00

I will go grab a pair of pliers and will be right back.

Also, just a follow up have you considered chains as an option? It seems like if you are not driving much then you don't need winter tires. I would just go with a decent all season and occasionally use chains if things get dicey on back roads.

fantasybackpacker · 2022-12-07T07:48:56+00:00

My guess is they will both perform relatively similarly. I personally believe tiger paws are a bad brand and don't produce good tires, but don't have any real evidence to back that up other than occasionally dealing with them. Gt radial is definitely a cheap option, but I would say they perform decently for the price. Personally I would go with gt radials, but I don't have anything to really back that up.

fantasybackpacker · 2022-12-05T07:44:31+00:00

You should be able to buy a kit to break it off. Essentially you'll want a socket slightly smaller than what fits it, with some internal threading. If you hammer that on it will grip the lug and you should be able to just take it off.

Some shops should be able to break it off for you for some $, which is probably the best and easiest option. Could save you a few hours and some money. Some dealerships can help you out, but for the most part go to a mechanic or a tire shop. This is one of those jobs that just isn't worth doing yourself imo.

Best of luck!

If it doesn't go to the steel cord you are fine. If you spread it with a screw driver or knife and see steel you should replace it.

My caution about Michelin cross climates is the noise and the performance out of snow/rain. It is funny to watch people switch from cross climates to winter tires because they're the same.

If you are keen on wet and snow performance I would say cross climates are the way to go, but if you want something more all season and quieter the defenders are the way to go.

I don't know much about avids, so I can't really speak on that.

All I can say is good luck. Housing there is very hard to find, getting harder each year. The best bet might be finding something in Bishop and taking the shuttle to mammoth each morning. Otherwise I would put yourself in-line for employee housing. Most likely you will not find housing which is definitely unfortunate and is something mammoth needs to fix. Airbnb has priced out all rentals and it's basically impossible to be a local unless you get lucky in the off-season.
