Welcome to the IHoP

[Fonzi 3]

Tire sorry I had to leavee abruptly and go to denver when I was writing my last post.

What I found with auto school. Most of the kids that I went to school with were excellent wrechers, most had been doing it all their life. That was not the case with me, I jumped into it because I had noidea what I wanted to do out of HS. The biggest thing I learned was the recruiting companies were very concerned about how someone was with the computers and electronics in the car. Whether is was a Tech 2, Snap on Scanner, or the other manufacture scan tools.

Alot of the kids I went to school with were dumb, plain and simple. Most of them didnt catch on to the computer orientied stuff that I did. When it came time for recruiting I was highly sought after from some of the higher end companies like BMW, Mercedes because those are so electrical and sensor orientied. 7.50 is candy money they were talking along the lines of 50k+.

I killed my automotive school, I graduated top of the class, and the one thing that everyone told me to do was get my business degree which is what im doing now.

I guess if my rambling can say one thing is master the computers, all of them you can get your hands on. There are a ton of people that can change parts or rebuild an engine, but most of them have no idea how to use the computers and if they do they dont understand the numbers that are going on behind the screen.

Just my experience with it.

Thanks for the info! My father used to own a couple garages so I do indeed have some experience with the computer side. Home and personal computing is another story, but I am VERY familiar with the Snap-on scanner, have limited experience with the Tech2 and Ford's STAR I believe it is called. My buddy worked at a GM dealership and I've been able to have access to some dealer equipment the normal public is not priviledged to. The funny thing is, I've yet to rebuild a carburetor, but I know my way around EFI very well. Sign of the times I guess.

I'm done BSing and when I do something, it's all or nothing, so hopefully, I can follow in your footsteps and excel in school, then follow that into the industry.

ON a side note, BMW and Mercedes are offering programs where if accepted, they will put you through school, pay for your tools, and offer a starting salary of minimum $75K. That's tough to beat even spending $30-$40K on schooling. Hopefully my venture with Toyota will prove promising. I personally feel they are going to be pretty much taking full command of the automotive industry in the next 10-15 years.

Your exactly right with BMW and Merc, I was trying to not be cocky, I was offered upwards of 80+ after going through their traning programs. But the ability for me to make 100+ was very easy with the business degree tacked on top.

As for scan tools, if you can use the snap on then you have about 95% of everything you will run across covered. Manufature specific ones can get into tweaking the cars computer. I never got that deep with Stars, or tech 2's.

As for carbs and working on them, thats great fr personal recreation, but like you said EFI is what you need to know. BMW culd careless if your a carb master, they want you to be able to tech the problems out of EFI.

Just take it seriously and do good and the doors will open themselves for you. A degree is worth its weight in gold just simply for the dorrs it will open for you if you take it seriously. I did and ive excelled beyond anything I possibly thought I could do in life.

My next goal is to get into Princetons MBA school Thats gonne be a longshot and a half.

How do you set the gain on a infinity basslink???

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I think this guy I sold the Damplifier to is trying to screw me. What do you guys think? Notice, he sent an Echeck once. I told him I could not ship until it cleared so he asked me to refund that and he'd make a normal payment which he did, now he claims this,

"hi i am sorry to bother you but it seems as though you have recived two payments for the $85.00. there is one payment for a straight $85.00 and then there is another payment in the amount of $40.48 threw paypal. and then another payment in the amount of $ 44.52. the two payments of $40.48 and the $44.52 equal and additional $85.00 you have recived. could you please check your account and let me know so i do not have to contact paypal and open a dispute. thank you very much ....................A. Miller"

[jntar 15]

Send him that print screen and tell him to take it up with paypal.

Nothing more you can do. Its not in your account

He needs to contact paypal. They can also see your account and tell that you have cancelled the payment.

you make a lot of transactions.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

You should see my history from about 3 years ago. About 3 per day just buying stuff. Back when I had money, I spent it like mad. My computer room in my basement was filled from floor to ceiling with electronics, mostly car audio. At one point in time, I had over 30 different subbass drivers from 14 different companies.
