You gonna miss the truck?

FUCK YA- the thing is perfect.

but my truck is hardly moving now. i drive it to work and home. last week i had to take a work truck home/back a few days so it sat at my work. it's crazy having the payment I have for it to sit.

combining the #dadvan and my truck into one rig that can tow whatever i want/go wherever i want just seems to make sense.

explorer has a 4x4 system in some of the newer vans too, with a selectable knob, that uses basically all 2500 pickup parts... it's a 9k upgrade on a new van but some out there just have it and aren't "much more"

tough thing with 9k is 9k would buy a hell of a 4x4 winter beater

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Yeaaaap that does make sense, it'd suck to drive around a $5k heap dd though.

 

[Spivitz]

Heated seats

 

[Yaj Yak]

i should rephrase.

im cool with cloth.

leather needs heat though.

old stick shift bmw had not heated leather and it was fucking miserable at 445 am throughout the winter.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i wound up driving my truck a lot of days just because of the thought of the rock hard gray leather seats waiting to freeze my ass off.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i dont want to like red.

but i really like this.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Wifer and I started looking for another vehicle for her and ran across this gem. A Eurotrash 2013 audi Q7, low low miles and great price. Googled it’s problems and seems like it eats brakes/tires and rear brake light bulbs. Carmax awaiting title for it and we have first dibs.

or tell them you can be hired as a contractor....for 4x the rate and specify exactly what tasks you will do and thats it.

along with working hours are 8:30-5 M-F no exceptions. and at least a 4 year contract where if they break it, you still get paid in full for remainder of contract.

I've was put on furlough April 4th. I started my new job at another company on July 27th. I had not said anything to them, based on the emails they were sending that said "if we don't call you back, and you're eligible for severance, we'll pay you out. So I've been playing the severance game with them. I honestly wasn't expecting them to call me back whatsoever. I honestly think it's a ploy to weed out those of us who have moved on.

sure....here is me asking for quadruple my salary

pay it or pound sand.

I wouldn't trust the signature on the check. Probably signed by Alfred E. Nueman.
