Received rejection e-mail Monday, just got a call saying there was a last second decision by upper management to add more available positions, can I fly in for a followup next week?

Next round's on me

Nicely done!

I want the first one of those.

[///M5 2,833]

NEVER

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Yeah, reliability might be an issue

[///M5 2,833]

Understate much?

My next project is to build a slab wood bar. Similar to this.

[nem 2,019]

Once this bar is done you all are welcome to swing by for drinks and shots!

[///M5 2,833]

Not before?

[nem 2,019]

Always welcome, just a formal place to drink.

That's awesome. I've always wanted to figure how to do an infinitely variable cam using some sort of hydraulic or electric actuation.

[MKader17 332]

I agree on the reliability aspect. It does look like a cluster fun of parts.

With baby on the way, the wife and I had a somewhat serious conversation about moving on from my current truck. The question is, do I go to a 4 door 2wd truck (Mid-late 2000's Silverado) or a Sedan (mid-late 2000's Infiniti Q35/37).

If I get rid of the truck, I have no way of hauling building materials. I thought about getting a small trailer and a hitch on the SUV, but unfortunately our new place doesn't have a way for us to get it into the backyard... maybe...

I'd really like a car for the fun factor, gas milage, etc..., but don't want to give up the bed. The wife says an El Camino is not on the list

How much is your truck really costing you/worth?  Why not just keep it for the local vehicle anyway.  Don't you guys already have a pretty new little SUV?  Extra insurance and tags on it will be what, 300$ a year?

Do NOT buy the Milwaukee tools!  I made that mistake 2 years ago and have had nothing but problem.  The new manager bought some more a few months ago to replace the shit I bought and they've even worse.

We have 3 brushed drill, 2 brushless hammer drill, 2 brushless impacts, and 2 brushed sawzalls.  All SHIT!

Well, knock Milwaukee off the list then.

Volkswagen's pulling their diesels from the US Market, apparently.

Sounds like you need a Subaru Baja mike!

Cheap aluminum trailer is forever

So I have built two boxes .71 cubes @58 hz for 8ohm evil mids and after about 6 hours of play time I am loving how they sound. Now I am currently looking for a tweeter and I am looking at these and planning on crossing them @ 2.5K what do you all think would be the best option?
