Just buy mine...

Not in the market right now, closing on our house in two months. She wants to get a TL with a 6-speed next spring, so I just have to keep her Celica nice for another year.

I remember talking to you about it when you first wanted to sell it.

Very nice, can't believe you were working 55hr weeks, 40 is full time job hours here, anything over is overtime.

10 vacation and 10 sick is a bit below what we get here, we get 20 vacation and 10 sick

When you're salaried, there is no overtime. That's how they get ya.

20 vacation and 10 sick? Ugh. Can I move there?

what's these "getting" sick days

so 10 sick days, does that mean u can only be sick for 10 days?
what happens on the 11th?

10 days of PAID sick leave. After that, you get docked pay for missing work.

TL would be fun

TL would be fun

Perfect for what she needs. Enough ass to be quick and fun to drive, 6-speed to keep her happy, and good old Honda reliability. Plus, her car will be 5x114.3... so I can justify buying more wheels that accidentally fit the Prelude.

Andrew, did they say anything about a non-competition clause? Just so you can still do freelance work.

Tire machine doesn't have a pneumatic arm to push the tire into the drop center. The sidewalls on 512's are pretty stiff. We tried using bars and shit to get it done but it wasn't working out very well.

Ah thanks, was having a look at that but it only describes for paint, but nothing to metion metals.

That sounds like a weird tire machine

For those scratches you'd pretty much want a finishing compound.

what about this stuff, ever heard of it, sounds pretty aggressive

I use Presta Ultra Cutting Creme mostly, sometimes I use Mother's aluminum polish if it's something I don't care as much about.


Presta Ultra Cutting Creme for 1.5-2k
Presta Ultra Cutting Creme Lite afterwards
(forgot the brand) Hand Glaze on a terry cloth after that
Race Glaze automotive wax to seal

Yeah unpaid overtime is gay, I never done unpaid overtime, I do not agree to it, but it is almost mandatory once you get into the $80k+ zone

I don't know if there are any automotive journalist jobs here but you could try

My dad and I do paintwork on the side, so we usually just have it laying around. It just happens that it works well on polishing metals too.

Gotta remember cured clear coat is pretty hard stuff. Aluminum is a pretty soft metal so this stuff should work pretty good. (That's what I am hoping for anyways)

I guess i'll check out some cutting compounds

Hey Andy did you have a crack at the paint stripping yet?

I **** paint stripping when it does not remove the clear coat in one try or when you get small bits left over and need to re-apply

Nope. Free to freelance as much as I please.

That is the single fucking most annoying thing in the world.

I had to re-strip my Evo wheels like four fucking times before it all came off.

[180roman]

I'll have to re-apply paint stripped to the LMs tomorrow then a painful 3hrs of sanding for 1 wheel because I need to sand down a slight lip, some corrosion and a few slight dings from dropping wheel nuts on the lip
