I thought you were charging your brohams. I hope that doesn't include the costs of the pads.

And when you quote the price, Justin...remember to say that you're "giving best price..."




And if they blink at the $234.50, you know what to say, right?

Good point, I'll keep that in mind next time you're in town!

How about this one...I turn down oil jobs all the time. Not enough profit margin for the amount of dirty and sweaty to make what? $15? Fk that...I did it for a co-worker recently, he paid me by buying me lunch one day. Fk that, go to Jiffy lube for $30 with oil included.

I would never gouge my brobots like that.
matter of fact, On sunday, an AZ member came through with an RL. I taught him how to work on the brakes. pointed out what all the components do and such.

at the end, he was like " how much do I owe you?/ how much would you like"

"nah, man. you're my friend. you learned and worked on your car today."

he ended up getting my paypal addy and said he would transfer some funds over.
i aint too worried on how much he's transferring.

Sounds like you REALLY insisted that he not pay you. You could have NOT given him your paypal address.

I used to code in Java...but, that was almost 10 years ago. And this is different than coding.


But, what's your question?
