Les Scwhab is Gay. Almost as Gay as your mom. And I have the video to prove it. No really, I do.

See how long you can bust tires before you realize your much smarter than that. The shop I work in, I still do tires, but very rarely. I'm doing oil, coolant, tranny, power steering, brakes, and belts. Keeps me busy untill "The Move".

2 months until BMW (pending interview) not many dealerships were interested in hiring someone for so short, so I took what I could get. I think I'm the only one there with 8 ASE's though...

If you want to bring them to Orinda, sure.

More importanly, why short term only? Why not get a full time gig? Your gonna half to grow up and get a real job eventually. Someone spent an awful lot of money for you to just have a summer job busting tires, and I hate when she's in a bad mood. Makes me wear "The Mask" if you catch my meaning.

Dude, I'm wokring there for 2 1/2 months until I'm hopefully back down for Bimmer. If STEP is a no go, I'll get a real job, using my hella skillz. If you were running a dealership, would you hire some kid just outa school for possibly only 2 1/2 months?

jeez, dismounting a set of tires can only cost about 20 bucks, do you really need a hook up for that?

There's a body shop who's computers I fix, they have a great tire balancing and wheel alignment machine setup.

STEP is a damn good program, its just that once you commit to placement, you're all-in.

They provide you a job though, better than most people can do these days...

All in for a year, yeah that's true. I'm 19 though, so I can go anywhere pretty easily. We'll see!
