Marcus, if you were closer I would say come use the lift and the brake tools

Thats too kind of you, we would be able to do some programming too. But that would be one heck of a trip.

Thanks for offering though!

Started my monthly round of overnights a few nights ago, the past few days I've been itching again for something different, something newer. I bet it will pass, I still haven't put 100k of my own miles on my car and I've had it for almost 9 years. Overnights really mess with me, sometimes I have to stop and ask myself, if this is how I really feel (about whatever) or is this frame of mind skewed? I need a different job, trying to get into PA school. I guess it was brought on by an old friend taking me to a Grizzlies Game, huge VW fan, has had a few BMW's, one Porsche, his dad has an Alpine White 1M. He suggested I look at a 2012+ Tiguan 4-motion R-Line, I've been checking them out online, they are pretty hot. Just not sure how it would drive, probably like our CRV, always FWD unless the rear slips. I would think an x1 or an x3 would be closer to the driving dynamic I'm used to. I'm sure I'm just dreaming, the house needs a new HVAC this year, it won't be cheap. Is it 8am CST yet?

Hang in there, Marcus. I literally had the cash in my hands last summer to go check a ZHP on saturday. Well, the day before the AC guy came to the house and said : you need a new AC unit. Needless to say the saturday appt was cancelled and the money went to the AC.

Maybe you just need to do something for your car (new tires, new speakers, etc) and this will reignite your love.
