A moment of thanks to some of the BAIC.

I have finally finished school. A few days shy of a year, and I am now a Wyotech/Sequoia Institute graduate. I finished my last class last night. I was going to do this then, but it's been quite emotional around my house the past few days. I'm also a little hung over, so bear with me.

Over the last year I have been posting here as a lowly troll (hopefully only by the strictest definition though). I've met a few you and despite always asking why I drive a GTI and not a WRX, you've never shunned me and I want to thank all of you for that.

Over the past year I've done buisness with a small handfull of you. Thanks to you I was able to afford to go to school in these trying times. As some of you may know, I've been un-employed since October of '03. There were times when bills were stacking up and my wife and I didn't know how I was going to get to school the next day. I know that buisness is just that. Buisness. But, your buisness helped my achieve something that I never had before, and I thank you.

Over the past year I've been given the opertunity to help some of you as best I could. Whether it be un-mounting tire's, pulling code's, or whatever little thing's you've asked for help with. Thank's to you I was given a chance to practice what I was studying. You've helped in a small way to make me a better tech and I thank you.

As I write this I can't help but think to all time's in school where I said as soon as I finish school, I'll get a Subaru. After I finish school I'll get a nice job and be able t support my family. After school I'll move to Oregon and start a family. Now that time has come I don't know what to do. I'm happlily employed at Orinda Motor's, and entire life has turned around for the better. The BAIC has given me a place to come when the whole world around has been pushing down on me ant I want to thank all of you.

I would also like to thank motoracr22's mom for helping me "vent" smy frustration's. You know. With sex. (zing!).

All kidding aside. Thank you BAIC for making the last year a little easier.

Also, before anyone else decides to dump on me for grammer, I know I sux0r'z at it, but read the comic and laugh with me.

Hey **** you dude.

It's all in good fun. Honestly, I hope you get things all straightened out (sounds like you're getting there) and have a wonderful, successful life.




P.S. Thanks for the alcohol

I went all day Friday without mentioning your mom, so quit whining.

P.S. That's what she said. And by she I mean your mom. (LOL, that just never gets old to me.)

Actually, it's funny you mentioned that, I went and looked at that yellow 03 wagon I told you about today after work. I'm starting the haggling process with one of the salesmen as we speak.

September? Has it really been that long? Wow, the lat year has been kind of a blur to me.
