The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[XCLR8TN]

Ugh. I hate the turnpike so much. And there really isn't a better way to get over there. Arggggg. Fuckit I'm going to take the scenic route and leave around 5 lol. See you guys there!(unless I look at the buckeye traffic website before leaving and it's a clusterfuck on the highways up that way lol)

 

[WillD]

Why are you guys so against the turnpike? It's a million times better than any other highway around here in terms of maintenance and traffic.

I don't know if the Brew Kettle takes reservations but if we have a rough count on how many people I'll call up there and see.

 

[XCLR8TN]

It's boring as all hell and the STATIES have good hiding spots in the middle, shielded by the concrete. (Emphasis on staties because you know you aren't getting a warning from one).

They could at least put some curves in it. Oh wait, never mind. Everyone would slam on their brakes and go around a 60 mph corner at 30.

You can't win, back roads or highways.

The only part I don't like about the movies is the order. Now I have to watch them in this order: 1,2,4,5,6,3 Damit! Why are they playing games with me?

I thought 5 was the prequel

Jen got a call last night from the Ohio State Patrol, she goes monday to take a test. It's possible she will get a dispatcher job at the Mansfield post. If it happens she will make about 30% more per hour. It sure will be nice to get a little financial breathing room! That is untill we start spending more because there is more coming in. Isn't that how it works?

Nice Larry, hope she lands that job. And I know what you mean, my review is today so I'm itching to see what kind of raise I'll get. Won't be much left though, now that I have my passport I need to start saving for Europe, maybe Marlon can score me an infield pass for Le Mans...

Fixed


My review isn't for a couple weeks, also would like to see what kind of a raise I get this year.

Evan why is there no Mazda love from the lil woman?

She likes the 3 hatches and Speed3's (but I'm not replacing her turbo's, lulz) but that's about it. I tried to talk her into buying Jess's 2 but she doesn't care for the way they look. And she wants something kinda fast.

She could fit a piano in a Mazda 2. Or does she want something kinda fast, too? Lol

See above.

I'm just glad she's looking at an RSX. The K20 will last forever, tons of aftermarket support and it's a Honda so it will last forever. But she also wants a Golf, for some weird reason... Haha

I like the turnpike, it's $2, 70mph and 3 lanes so you can pass all the morons in the left lane on the right.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Lol right lane comment. So true.

 

[hat1018]

I pass on the right all the time. lol. I do it because everone knows you shouldn't, my way of messing with the dickholes cruising in the passing lane.

 

[o0n8]

I pass on the right alot, I just assume people won't get over

So get a 3 hatch and I will get her a S-plan number and she can get a new car at a low price, We got our Speed3 at below dealer costs, which meant we got the NAV package for and upgrades for free. They do have a VRM 2012 Speed 3 that she can get a good deal on, I am sure that she'll let you drive it once on a while......is that fast enough for her?

 

[XCLR8TN]

As for passing on the right, I only do it at certain times of the day. Believe it or not people do get out of the way of a barreling smart car. I didn't expect it but it does happen!

I used the right lane almost exclusively in all of my other cars lol.

 

[Lewis7789]

Haha, I appreciate the help, my funky brotha, but she only wants to spend $11k tops. She currently doesn't make very much money.

If she's looking at a Golf, tell her to spend a little bit more and get a GTI.

Larry, even though I received a promotion, I still base our budget on my original salary from 2 years ago. even with the new car, we still are using our salaries to pay our bills etc. Just work out a budget that will allow you guys to do what you want and have funds in reserve.

 

[hat1018]

Nice Nate. He is getting to be a real eating machine.

 

[princess peach]

But she also wants a Golf.

didn't she learn from the first German experience? That car will be a money pit in the future

 

[WillD]

She should totally get a new Speed3! Do you expect a brand new car to have turbo problems? I had 100k on my Speed3 and not one hint of any problems with the turbo. Is she only looking for used stuff?

As far as the Brew Kettle tonight... Codex, Marlon, Lauri, Tom, Phen, Jess, Evan, Tessa. Am I missing anyone?

**** that. Two words:
