#1973 of 2033 How's everyone? Even in this economical crisis? by andeet Sep 30, 2008 (3:36 am)
In the shipping supply world, my company is still doing well. We should hit a billion dollar mark sometime next week or the following. Last year, we hit that same mark around November-ish. No rumors about cut-backs, Thank God for the Uhlein family! We're in good hands cause the family is wise with their money.   Back to cars, I just got done reading the article about the largest Chevy dealer went bankrupt. Man! That's gotta be tough on those 150-ish past employees. My buddy of mine who is the tech at Illinois Toyota-Chevy dealership...says his Chevy dealer might be on the chopping block by GM if they dont sell. His pay just went to booking charges when he used to be paid hourly. That dealer has been around the Chicagoland area for years! He was also saying something that four other dealers are also on that same list to get chopped.   Something is up with GM cause I drive by my dealer which is Carmax. They also sell Chevy. I've noticed that their new car lot is being flooded with Toyotas even in Chevys lot area AND I see more empty spots from Toyotas than Chevys.   If I was GM Exec; I would push up the Camaro production to NOW!! - JMO (Just my option)
#1974 of 2033 Not only that, andeet... by iluvmysephia1 Oct 01, 2008 (2:14 pm)
they might consider getting the Chevy Volt in to production for the U.S. earlier. Then again, it will cost around $40,000! There are supposed to be rebate checks coming back for around $7,000 from the Guv-Mint, and Chevy themselves are also going to offer $3,000 rebates just to kind of get sales "moving" a bit.   Hybrids somewhat interest me, but not as much as all-electrics do.   The Volt is decent enough looking, it does look a tad bloated. Wonder how much that puppy weighs.   Otherwise, work is good, and I am still enjoying the heck out of my 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with automatic CVT tranny and 2.0L 152 hp 4-banger.   Great RF stereo, gets ya thumpin' pretty well.
#1975 of 2033 Mitsu's are flying off our local lot! by andeet Oct 06, 2008 (2:26 am)
My brother has the FIRST ever '08 GTS sold in the state of Wisconsin...take a guess what he thinks about it?????   He doesn't treat it like he's proud! Always dirty inside and out. He's jealous of my always clean and well kept tC.   But if I'm still debating about me saving few thousands and buy daily driver while keeping the tC for fun. If I do...I'll probably look at a base xD that's if Bullitt's sales consultant is offering her great service again. If not, I may look into getting Lancer ES.   Anyway, this is how much I love my tC!!!   I got off of work at 4:00 am then took the hour drive home. Relaxed few hours until 8 am. Washed the car twice. Then hand dried. I polished with buffer. And hand polished with soft terry towel. I waxed by buffer and waxed twice with buffer again. Did all of that in my work uniform while the weather was 50 degrees. Let's just say I didn't go to sleep until 2:30 pm and woke up at 5:30pm. I worked more on the car than I slept for the day. Still went to work that night! I took this photo when I got done. Didn't want to look dumb in my uniform so I changed. LOL     I got that picture idea from this....     My Mom when she was in her early 20's with her first car; VW Bug. I so miss that woman, RIP Mom.
#1976 of 2033 Great pictures, andeet... by iluvmysephia1 Oct 06, 2008 (7:22 pm)
and I am so sorry about your Mom. I lost my Dad in 2004 and still can't believe he's gone. My best friend in the world, gone. Our parents shape us in so many ways. Dad loved his pickup trucks, their '73 Plymouth Gold Duster, and his baby blue '66 VW Fastback(great car, I learned how to drive stick in that car with the patient help of my Dad).   I love my '08 Lancer GTS. Mitsu found a great maker of body kits for that car. That is a big part of why I love my '08 Lancer GTS, the bodykit. The car offers a lot more than that, though. Leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift(the steering wheel felt so nifty in my hands this morning), the titanium paddle shifters are cool just behind the steering wheel, the boomin' 650-watt stereo, the foglights, sunroof, spoiler, etc. The Lancer GTS offers so much for the money and the car drives and handles well, you can push it in to turns and it locks on to a circular spot and asks you to push it some more. Mitsubishi makes a mean driving machine. The more I learn about them the more I respect them as carbuilders.   Your Scion tC looks great in that picture.   BTW, my bro-in-law, a Chicago cop, owns a vacation house on Fox Lake, in northern Illinois, that shouldn't be that far from your neck-o-the-woods, huh? Heard of Fox Lake before? And you're from the land of 'That 70's Show', too! What a celebrity!   Keep us up-to-date with what cha'all doin' over yonda, all right?

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Oct 06, 2008 7:22 pm) Of course, I heard of Fox Lake! I was originally born in Northern Illinois. My Dad was born in Chicago while my Mom was born in Indianapolis. I drive to Waukegan for work. So I put least 72 miles a day just for work. I think I received my driving foot from my Mom's side of the family. "Indy Leadfooter" lol   "That 70's Show" is actually supposed to be Pleasant Prairie not Point Place. It's small town close to statelines but is mostly industrial & commerical area. My employer is in the process building 30,000 sq ft corprate building and 1,000,000 sq ft corprate warehouse along near Interstate 94. I won't have to drive the 72 miles starting December of 2009. We already have 600,000 sq foot warehouse there which I did work at until last May. Stupid building manager had to be dumb "butt" towards me and I asked to transfer back to Waukegan Corp branch since we didn't get along after that....lol

thanks for the northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin edumacation!   Yeah, my wife and son went to that vacation house in late June-early July '08 to recreate. I guess you can go to this sandspit in the center of the lake to go to the bar and to listen to rock bands, etc. Bro-in-law has a volleyball net set up and a boat docked there on their property to play in.   Yeah, isn't work fun when somebody decides they want to be obstinate about something or other? Workplaces can be such a pain in the butt anyway, but when you get somebody that decides to ravelrouse with you it really can be a pain. Part of the problem is that those types start to feel like they "own" the place after they achieve some sort of milestone or they have successfully "brown-nosed" their way to a certain position. Power can be such a energy-sapping phenomenon to other worker-bees at a workplace!   I liked this little town called Geneva west of Chicago that we rode bikes at. Always a fair-type atmosphere going on, even if one of their many "celebrations" isn't going on. Nice place to walk around on the streets and hob-knob.
#1980 of 2033 Sorry Peeps! I kind of went WAY off the edge on the deleted post. by andeet Oct 23, 2008 (3:33 am)
It's just a pain. I enjoyed operating equipment. Now I can't...   Anyway, I may get new friend down the road.         '05 RS 1.0, 5-Speed, 38k, interior in good shape, no major or minor scratches, wheels haven't been scratched, underbody looks quite well, and brand new Toyo tires. "Sexy Red" or "S.R. (For short)" is the name I thought of when "I love at first sight." She could be Bullitt's older girlfriend LOL   Bullitt and I can easily have her for $14,9xx. Which is the highest price tag on a 2nd car loan I can go.   So......I decided if Sexy Red is still at Kenosha Carmax around Christmas. I'll use my big fancy bonus' for a down payment. I can afford both tCs including insurance. I just can't go anywhere except for work until March. Which I feel would be a good way to stop my driving habits.   If I have "IT MOVES (MVS) ME" on my current tC's plate. What will I get? How about this?     (What Moves You?) LOL

I sure like the Scion tC. I test drove a 2005 Scion tC RS 1.0 in Absolutely Red in Idaho Falls, ID, in late 2006. I was there to test drive a 2006 Scion xA in Polar White and iPod connectivity, foglights and 5-speed manual. Ended up not getting either car but I liked how both drove, actually. Just wasn't the right time to buy.   Glad I waited for my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. You're really gonna spring for another Scion tC? Wow! Replies to this message: andeet (Nov 05, 2008 3:04 am)
