Do not touch the outside of the car unless your name is rain or sunshine. Also, any sarcastic people with these names attempting to touch the vehicle will be shot, along with their hippie parents.
Besides me, only my son may drive it, and only to my funeral, which will have a mapped route of smooth, unsalted roads, directly into the parking spot in my grave.

Also, being someone who is getting his ASE cert's, I have to say that graduating from UTI or Wyotech is never considered certified. This industry doesn't care about your school, only your experience. Save your money and don't bother with UTI or Wyo, and go make some money as a bottom level shop guy doing what you want to do.

And Tupac was not on Death Row until 1995 (because Suge bailed him out of jail when he was flat broke from lawyers fees) but he had been making and releasing popular music since 1991 with Digital Underground, which makes it a totally viable option in these cars depending on your cars year and your personal history. So leave him, me, and our Tupac CD's alone. Although I must admit... Something about driving the Camaro makes me want to listen to Metallica more often than usual. LOL

The only argument I have for that is the fact that I tried that method and nobody would even look at me around here. Granted, I have almost no civilian job history (with the exception of doing construction 4 or 5 years ago) and all I have is military experience, which most civilian employers I've talked to could care less about. We veterans sacrifice a lot when we're on active duty. We can't continue our education very quickly and we aren't building the civilian job history that most employers look so heavily at. Coming off active duty I was way behind the 8 ball and still haven't been able to catch up cause nobody will hire someone with no real civilian job history and not enough education (since I was off serving my country).

Sorry bout the rant but I had to say that. I want to get into that career field but the door seems to be slammed shut for me right now.

Dizturbed One

The industry is doing so bad they won't risk hiring new people, huge liability. I got into transmissions because the money is there, most won't mess with it. But hey, doing a "simple" trans service on a newer FWD Nissan car is a 45 minute job if you're GOOD. You're dropping half of the front subframe. Pulling a trans from any FWD in an hour, like say a Focus, Neon, Hyundai, Kia, etc... and installing it in two hours, with a 99.9% success rate (success as in no problems now and no return later)... It's not possible to fake experience doing that. They don't want to watch you figure it out in 6 hours your first time, and they don't want to pay much either, lol. We don't even see easy RWD jobs that I learned on anymore. People do them at home, except warped valve bodies on Ford's and burnt electronics in Dodges cause they can't figure it out. I know so many unemployed Wyotech graduates... It's really not funny. It feels like you might as well try and be an astronaut.

IT'S ROUGH all over except at foreign dealerships shops. If you're foreign you're good.

Which brings me back to the original topic of this thread:

Thou shalt not speaketh acclaim of the ***** while under my t-topeths

Dizturbed One

wow, ric3r is blocked, that is awesome, LOL

Jairo

i have many rules but my main one is if the t-tops are off, your top is off too ;]
(only chick got to fallow that rule.)

Zerocyde

Mine is close to yours.

1) If you smoke, your cig holding hand is out the window 100% of the time, and you drop the butt out the window or hold it till we stop.
2) All drinks must have lids/caps
3) No rap\hip-hop unless it's old and funny (think "I Like Big Butts"). If it's country it's only the upbeat fun kind, not the crying and Jesus kind.

But #3 isn't just a car rule, that's a rule for being around me period.

HighTechRedneck

i just spent a while making everyones best rules into 1. enjoy.



0) Put on your seatbelt.
1) No smoking in, on, near, or around the car at any time unless you ask first and I say you can. You have to share if I let you smoke in my car. Chewing tobacco is also not allowed in the car.
2) No food or drinks. Sealed beverage containers are OK, so long as they are clean.
3) There are two people allowed to drive my car. 1 is me, the other is not you.
4) No feet on the dash.
5) Do not roll windows up or down. Only I get to do that. Do not mess with the power mirrors.
6) No leaning against my car.
7) No sitting on my car.
8) No pets in my car.
9) No cargo that will scrape up my plastics/rip interior
10) No muddy/dirty/wet shoes/clothing in the car
11) Don't touch any of the controls aside from letting yourself out when we get where we are going and operating the seat belt.
12) No children.
13) Do not lean on the door as leverage to get your fat *** out of the car. I can help you.
14) Do NOT slam the doors when entering or exiting the vehicle. Do not fling the door open so it bounces on the hinges and comes back.
15) No crappy drum solos to music on any surface within the vehicle at any time.
16) Don't leave your crap in my car. This includes receipts, bags, anything that you thought I wouldn’t mind throwing away for you when I decide to get out.
17) Always return sun-visors to their upright position when exiting the vehicle.
18) Do not leave the seat belt twisted. Straighten the damn thing out when you take it off.
19) Do not just let go of the seat belt and allow it to slam into random parts of the interior when you get out.
20) Never, under any circumstances mess with the T-Top release lever.
21) Do not draw on, touch, or smear my windows.
22) Do not leave bodily fluids inside my vehicle. This includes your snot, vomit, spit, or "other" fluids.
23) No yelling out of the car, unless it is a hot chick. No exceptions.
24) You do not invite your friends to ride in my car with you, or instead of you at any point, for any reason.
25) You may not volunteer me to give rides to anyone.
26) I like to park far away from other human beings and their cars. You are not allowed to bitch about the walking distance when I do this.
27) Passengers are not allowed to bitch about my driving.
28) Passengers may not bring anything illegal into the vehicle at any point, for any reason.
29) No fat chicks.
30) I will not modify any vehicle rule at any time for any reason, so do not ask me to. You are wasting your time trying.
31) No rule applies to me unless I wish it to. (Which 95% of the time I follow these rules without exception.)
32) Do not touch the radio, change my station, or cd, unless you ask first or I tell you you can.
33. No singing, humming, or whistling. Unless I say you can.
34) Do not bitch about who sat in the passenger seat last. It wasn’t me, I don’t give a ****.
35) YOU are the cup holder.
36) Do not bitch about the radio being too loud.
37) No saying other cars will beat mine.
38) make sure the buckle is not in the door when you close it.
39) I know that my check engine light is on. Thanks.
40) Only I am allowed to open and close the hatch, because you don't know how to close it.
41) Do not bitch about the A/C. There is none, I will not tell you this.
42) Do not grab the dash to "brace yourself" for impact because i'm going fast... You're going to die anyway if we crash at that speed and holding the dash won't save you, it'll just distract me from my driving and probably cause an accident.
43) Don't try to open the doors and attempt to tear the handle off the car when the door is locked... Especially if im TRYING to unlock it but can't because you are acting like a retard trying to pull theh handle 5 times per second!
44) Do not touch/pull on the shifter/emergency brake.
45) I still don’t know what will happen if you chalk my car.
46) These tires are extremely expensive so no I will not drift around this corner and no I will not be spinning the tires here
47) Don’t complain about how low the car is.
48) I know the headliner is soft and indents when you push it doesn't mean you get to leave your hand print in my damn headliner!!!
49) No long phone conversations. I am driving my car, the radio is down for you to say, can I call you back?
50) If you mention and believe in global warming, i drop it two gears and continue until I see fit.
51) Do NOT diss camaros, corvettes, or batman.
52) i dont care how much you ask, i will not take the drive thru.

55) Don’t bitch about being in the back seat.
56) If you wanted to put on make-up...you should've done it at home, NOT in the car.
57) Sit back and shut up while im racing, UNLESS you see cops.(I will allow one false alarm, unless it costs me that current race)

Be polite to my car..... you call my car junk 1 ****ing time, and your never gonna sit in it ever again you son of a bitch.


And a story about eating in my car. we stopped at taco bell to go to the weekly car show. after we got our delicious food, some guy, who was driving a car that he did not own, his license was suspended, and he was currently living at a half way house hit my trans am. My dad, eating his taco bell, lifted himself up out of the t-tops and threw his burrito, hitting the guy in the face. he pulled over at the next light, me and my dad and cousin jumped out of the car, ready to beat the guys ***. not major damage, the car needed paint and body work anyway, but still. I called the cops, told them what happened. They got a hold of the guy who hit my car. The cop called me back and let me know what was going on, and he asked "What was the other guy saying about a burrito?" So it was a funny story and the guy did get driving after suspension, hit and run and probation out of it. but now every time i drive i have ammo = 6" long pieces of 3/4" thick rebar.

I forgot about this one, as well as others.

My wife actually yelled back at me for this one when I yelled at her, "WHY DID YOU SLAM THE HATCH GLASS DOWN!!!!!!" Im not yelling at anyone here in the board but I did yell at my wife. She had no idea how expensive it is to repair the pull down motor assembly. But that should be at our top 3 Do Not list. What do you guys think?

Carlos773

iTrader: (3)

Its expensive to repair it?

Wow I just checked ebay, god damm. I have 3 of em in my bucket of crap since my Cam had 3 of em in the spare tire area.

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

Parts are not to pricey if you can afford it. I get paid $8.50 an hour and i got a family so for me, it's a bit pricey. Now if you buy the whole pull down motor assembly, reconditioned or rebuilt, then your looking well over $100 depending on the seller.

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

You didnt know that they where expensive? Now you got ur self over $300 if u sell em. Dolla Dolla Bill Yall!

Carlos773

O trust me, to me everything is pricey, I have been infected by Junkyard prices. I can understand where you are coming from, I worked last year for $9.50 an hour to save up some change for school or what ever I decide to do soon.

Carlos773

iTrader: (3)

To be honest? No idea. I was told by my father the previous owner messed with it and it would not lock for him, So he went out and got every assembly he could from a yard and tried all of em to no avail, and thats how he gave the car to my father and then my father saw that it needed to be moved up slightly or else it wont lock.


I will see about selling them I hate shipping things and probably will just keep em on craigs if I do. Thanks for the heads up!

I had an issue with my motor lastnight, thought it was gone. It was in the open position, and would not operate when I laid the hatch on it. I checked the wires, tested the relay and played with it for about an hour, cussing the whole time. this was at 11:30 pm, so I had to get it fixed, or closed somehow. I finally ended up pushing a screwdriver in the slot and it magically started operating again. schewwwww...... close call here. I think I am going to replace it anyway, just to be safe. I am about to have some HIGH-DOLLAR items in there and don't want this issue!!

chevyboy

No drunk chicks, they puke on consoles, ask me how I know.

Shadow Z

iTrader: (2)

I guess I'll never know. I've owned my IROC for over two years now, and my hatch pull-down motor has never worked. When I plug it back in, it won't shut off for some reason. Not a big deal to me, as I don't open it often, so I slam it every time.

Shadow Z

iTrader: (2)

So, what you're saying is, no drunk chicks, but you'll allow drunk guys?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I agree with the no slamming the hatch idea. I used to because the one I had in the car was welded. I have it adjusted right and now it shuts sooo easy. all you have to do is let the weight of the hatch sit on the latch, and it closes. Aligning one that good can get to be a PITA. So please, do not slam the hatch.

And no...under no circumstances do you sit in the headlight buckets. I dont know when it happened, but someone shot one of my headlights with a BB gun. They suck to replace and I have an extensive anglo-saxon set of words to describe it. Some people should just be from the presence of third gen's, period.

Haha. I have contracts that I make people sign before riding with me that list these rules.

6.) Touch my effing stereo, and your out. I don't care if its the president calling you, you ask me to turn it down, and ill give you ten seconds.

10.) Unless its a cop, you don't yell or point.
11.) Despite what you may think, the anniversary badge on my dash is not a toy for you to try to take off my car.
12.) The seats are set for optimum angle and leg room for me. People in the back, shut up and be glad let you in. Passenger, you touch my seat controls over there, your gone.

That's about it. If people don't sign the contract they don't ride.

Slacker85TA

1. No food unless we are parked. Drinks are OK w/ a lid or cap.

2. I choose the music in my car. Feel free to make suggestions but you will probably be ignored. Don't take it personally.

3. Don't tell me how to drive my Trans Am. If you do I'm likely to take you to a parking lot or curvy road and scare the ever loving **** out of you. Think I'm kidding? Try me...

4. NO smoking. None. Period. Having been a car detailer in a past life I can tell you that the smell of a smokers car never really goes away.

5. Don't act like an idiot. Yes, I understand, this car attracts attention. People will honk and yell things at you. Just nod or wave or give the peace sign. I like to exude a relaxed air of awesomeness in my car. You should too.

iroc stangs

dude, i live pretty close to you... so if i tell you how to drive will you take me for an spin in her? haha.

Get in.
Strap in.
Shut up.

Slacker85TA

Haha! No need. Just ask. My mom and sister live in Tigard.

That rule is mostly for non car people such as parental units or any of my sis or girlfriend's friends. For some reason the people who drive the worst think they need to tell you how to operate your own car.

I hate taking my trans am where ever my friends are, they do not respect my vehicles so I hardly ever take my trans am. Once one of them thought it was funny to slide across the hood and scratched it, luckily that was on my honda.

Only 1 person can be in my car, people think they can just sit in the back cus it has seats

It pisses me off when people lean on my car, once again friends think cars are meant to be leaned on

after last night, i added a new rule... "this vehicle is not a taxi under any circumstances. failure to comply results in being left stranded without any ride whatsoever"

Bret

I pretty much agree with all these answers. Not many people ride in my car, but those who do know the rules. The only rule I didn't see is don't put your arm on the arm rest. I know that's why it's there, but I already had to replace it once. just pretend it's your car and then take much better care of it. And if you even ask about smoking anywhere near my car... I will banish you from ever riding in it again.
