you sort of get used to it but at the same time it burns at you, this flat rate system we have now is another way for employers to suck their employees dry and a lot of employers are not doing legal business practices, partly unkowingly because they don't know the laws and partly because they know we can't afford to hire an attorney to sue. IMO, i see a class action lawsuit coming in the future against many dealers and many manufacturers.

personally though, i'm not one to take **** from anyone and to be in this business you have to take a lot of **** from a lot of people. i know i am above it and is why i am determined to make my business work.

what you need to do is find out what you want.

back to the subject, seeing some of the fraudulent things that go on in this industry make me feel dirty at the end of the day. and it does happen on a daily basis, to your parents, relatives and neighbors.

I haven't put my name on the list because it's still TBA The beast is currently "disabled" due to a coolant leak so needless to say, it won't be going anywhere for awhile At least I don't think unless Zach let's me play around with it in my spare time. But then again, I could just make it worse...it's too hot to think straight....

it was in marysville, i don't advertise it anymore but you probably could find it in the yellow pages in some older books. right now i only service previous customer's cars, not accepting new customers unless they are rotary related.

and what's wrong with the beast? i thought i fixed the coolant leak...

Yea maybe bob can stop by after his Golf tourny? :-D didn't see him at the last auto x. I was a little dissapointed. There was an older gentelman with a Red FD at the last arden meet as well, i didn't catch his forum name tho. Nice guy tho. Not to mention there was even a First gen out there. FOR ONCE since Jan is always busy or drive the Trueno.

Tim glad to see you can make it! I needed an FD buddy

basically that is what stresses me out. just the simple fact that your earnings are based on how much money you can squeeze out of the customer doesnt exactly bring warm, fuzzy feelings to me. i mean i know im an @$$, but this is just one big low blow. i just dont think i'm vicious enough to be somebody else's employ. not to mention flat rate sucks...
