  1. I spent just about 7 hours calling about ever 10 minutes to try and get through to the department of labor here in Connecticut to start collecting unemployment I walked in to work on tuesday and before i was able to clock in, I was told that i was being let go along with a few others. Was not expecting that at all, numbers weren't too far off from last year and we had done a lot of cut backs and improvements to help us stay afloat. I've worked at this bike (bicycle) shop for over 5 years now, since i was 15 years old. I was one of the top mechanics and sales people their. Worked on just about everything their was to work on in that shop, cheap department store bikes to bikes that cost as much as our trucks. I've custom tuned suspension, pretty much can tear down any shock or fork and rebuild it, along with pretty much Fox suspension product... I'm pretty mechanicaly inclined when it comes to cars to. I've done motor swaps, clutches, differential work, etc... just not a certified auto mechanic. I currently go to class at night trying to get real estate license, I have only ten more classes to go until I can take my test and hopefully get my license. Then after that i have home inspector classes lined up. My father has been a home inspector in the area for about 15 years now and self employed and mother is real estate broker that is also self employed. Money is definitely hurting for them in this economy, but things are starting to look up so far 2010.... Hopefully i can hold out and get my licenses and their business will pick up and can go work for either one of them. Any suggestions toward anything i should look into? so far i've been turning up empty in my short period of searching... Gotta come with some extra money so i can try to hold onto the truck and make the payments Btw, I can thank obama for one thing, the extra $25 in stimulus for unemployment -Neil

    Love my awd, no major problems at all from mine (fyi: it's for sale)... Only decent sized problem i had was that my cats clogged around 55K on them. Easily fixed with straight pipes and tuned for no rear o2 sensors
  17. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and out in the garage, There wasn’t a trace of a Ford, Toyota, or Dodge The presents were wrapped, and the lights were all lit, So I figured I’d mess, with the Camaro a bit. I popped the release, and lifted the hood, When a deep voice behind me said, “looks pretty good.” Well as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, And there by the workbench, stood good ol Saint Nick! We stood there a bit, not sure what to say, Then he said ”don’t suppose you’d trade for my sleigh?” I said “no way Santa”, and started to grin, “But if you’ve got the time, we could go for a spin!” His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, Turned into a smile and he said, “Hey! Let’s go!!” So as not to disturb, all the neighbors’ retreat, We pushed the Camaro, quietly out to the street. Then taking our places, to drift down the hill, I turned on the key, and let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted, took him by surprise, But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes. With the tires a’ cryin’, and the exhaust pipes aglow, We headed out where, the hot rodders go. And Santa’s grin widened, approaching his ears, With every shift up, as I went through the gears. Then Santa yelled, “I’ve never felt so alive!” So I backed off the gas, and said “you wanna drive ?” Ol Santa was stunned, when I gave him the keys, When he walked past the headlights, he shook at the knees! The Big Block exploded, with dual exhaust sound! Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground! Power shift into second, again into third! I sat there just watching, a loss for a word. Then I heard him exclaim, as we blasted from sight, “Merry Christmas to all……….have a hell of a night!!!”
