I agree, even the weather thread was sort of a miss :laugh:
We could start talking about all the things I need to fix up on the Cougar... That would go a good 30+ posts :blackeye:

Speaking of alignments. Mine does go a little to the left. And how could I forget
Something other than blizzaks for the summer (just the front)
Fix the dash clock (starting to think it is a E1, took the dash apart and there were wires like how to hook up a dash clock into a E1 and later).
Changed out 4 of the 6 spark plugs, couldn't reach two in the back without taking the pack off. Need the other two still
Get my y-pipe on
power antena doesn't go down
remote doesn't work for trunk (what could do that?)
trunk struts are shot
But hay, the car was only $2K. :laugh:

I don't know whats worse... the problems, or the fact that we're bragging about them.

Well, we can just trade SVT's so you can have all the problems. :laugh: Then you win.

I think I will pass
though that has its quirks too... Speaking of the SVT though, which Springs should I get for it? I'm leaning towards B&G at this point.elraido

You can have my broken one. Free of charge. And is it sad that i have never heard of B&G? I just have another set of stock SVT's waiting to go on.

SVT sucks, V-TAK for da win!
jk
if we want to talk about what our cars need, my svt needs a bunch of body work, but at least the AC works!
the hunda needs upper front ball joints and a cv joint . depending on how i am feeling this weekend (ive been sick the past few days) i may head down to the cities to do the ball joints. i guess there is about a quarter inch of play!! i have a fear of driving down the road and one giving way. that would be a mess.
the fiero needs spring time.... asap.
and i need a job.... asap. anyone know of any graphic design jobs in duluth or (more likely) the twin cities? anyone work for a company that highers graphic designers?

Oh they're not so bad stock, that's what I'm putting in the Cougar
The B&G aren't that popular but they achieve the look i'm going for, 1.6" front... 1" rear, raked look FTW!

i interviewed with them already. they are looking for somone with more web design experiance.
the job i was at fell through. they let me go after i wasnt selling up to THEIR standards. i learned one thing though, sales isnt my thing (especially advertising sales) and i;d be much happier with design.

i can come up with ideas if you want me to. where the most cost comes in is the illustration itself. they take probably between 10-20 hours to complete. one of these days, i'll sit down and work on one straight through to see how long. the price will probabl;y go up come spring, when there are a few floating around at different car shows sparking interest.
its a great custom touch to ad for somones car

I know Carlson Craft in Mankato is always looking for people. I worked there for a while when I was in college. Had to alter clients files in Photoshop, Illustrated, and use Quark etc so they would print properly.

It was a preflight specialist. Honestly it was a good place to work, I just didn't like Mankato. LOL. Great benifits, great staff, decent pay. Since I didn't have any paid experince or a degree at the time, I was paid almost $10/hour and it only goes up from there.

Well I already have a board (I don't remember the dimensions) and have been debating how I want to lay it out and with what. My girlfriend loves scrapbooking so she is assigned the task of coming up with a layout :laugh:
Never a fun discovery. Previous owner's handywork?
