do you guys undercoat your vehicles? And if so, did you drill holes in certain areas to get the wand right in there to make sure you get every little spot of the frame and doors etc

Like this : and you plug them afterwards with little rubber grommets



Was talking to a few local car guys and was showing them my holes that were drilled and plugged, they didnt seem to get why, they thought you just put the car up on the hoist and spray the underneath and your good to go

Clowns! Talk to me in a couple years when your shit is all rusted out. I dont even winter drive my TL but I still get it undercoated just for precautionary measures

How's that jerb coming along el Jeff-eh?

This might be the most thing I've ever read.

And data point: no. No, I've never done that on any vehicle ever.

wow really??

id rather do that then have my shit rust out. Especially here I live by water.. Salt water ocean so salt is in the air

um, yes, we never do that.

I would think in Florida you would

All that rain, moisture and humidity lingering around would accelerate rusting. Do you see many rusted vehicles in Florida?

I know a lot of cars in Florida are new (wealthy) but I'm certain from the dealer some sort of proofing is applied prior to purchase??

curious what Adam and Yummy have to say as well

The ONLY place you'll see it is on the beach...
My black TL, you literally could break loose every bolt and remove with 2 fingers. ZERO rust.

Nice!

I got into the habit that when any work was done on my car, I would look at the schematics and literally buy EVERY bolt near or around the area that was getting worked on and replace it and put never seize on EVERY bolt. For a 10 year old northern car my undercarriage looks very good . Theres some surface rust and salt stains on some parts but it is what it is

Awesome, man...
yeah, previous owner did anti on all the suspension bolts.

Know something hilarious...
my co-worker and I drove by that place 2 weeks ago and were like, WTF is that...

I want to work there man. That would be sick

Can we all come by and test that assertion?

dont think I got it

Ill know by the end of the week but i haven't heard from them since last fridsy when they said it will be buttoned up by mid week this week. I dunno its weird because I felt super confident after the interview and felt I said all the right things and plus I thought I looked damn good too haha

what about you mike? Chicago I would think you guys undercoat your whips?

Not since cars stopped rusting out so quickly and people found that poor undercoating jobs (easy to get) helped promote rust. I haven't had a car undercoated since the 1980s.

I mean if you undercoat a car after was just rained on then yea. I guess the big thing here is salt. Like I said I dont drive the TL in the winter here but they use salt on our roads in the winter instead of say beet juice

My jam this evening

er... Gotta get that harbor freight torque wrench checked out there buddy....

sup jawbone?

It's my bed time.

its a half hour past your bed time. The weed must not be that good this round huh?

Dry till the first of the month. Wake up, wake up, wake up..... It's the first of the month

I like it dry

You ever consider grad school? Come on down stateside and put in a couple years? Might open up the opportunities for jerbs, plus a full 4% of our states are legal MJ now, so you know, progress.

No Vaseline.

Jdub was busy undercoating the inside of his doors. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.

Only if you bring the peanut butter. Chunky.

True.

Smoke weed. Get undercoated.

Fuck jobs jerbs.

I was thinking of putting in another 3 years to get my chemical engineering degree but fuck I'm already 29. I need to get working lol

Wait. Wut? I thought you had a 4 year?

Just did a 2? Or some sort of metric canadian equivalent?

my theory on the undercoating too is I had rust repaired on my front pass door and both my rear quarters so I figure if I pump the oil to the ol girl that it wont come back... and plus preventative maintenance can go a long way..

Adam, you dont undercoat your vehicles???

CuJoe I did a 3 year chemical technology program at college. I can transfer some of that time to a University and get chemical engineering degree in 3 years instead of the regular like 6 years to get an engineering degree... But like I said I dont have the money for that nor do I really want to put in another 3 years

The first car I undercoated was our 2012 Sonata. I've never done it since. In total, I've owned about 10 cars since I've started driving and the sonata was the only one I had it done on, because I got it for dirt fucking cheap. The Nissan has it, but it was already done when I bought the car (wish it didn't). Same with my Civic SiR (it was flaking off). But nothing else. The body is painted. It doesn't worry me all that much.

I thought you already were an engineer

so you're in first year? Or second?

read above

Student loans, ninja. Sell the whip. Get a bus pass.

If you suffer now, you'll live better later.

Def not selling the whip lol. Man what a fucking loss that would be. I have a winter beat. The university that accepts time towards the engineering degree is in Cape Breton which is in the middle of fucking nowhere..

I have a line on another jerb in Fredericton but its not great paying. Right now Im more looking to get into something entry level to get some experience under my belt so when my city opens up this huge ass fresh water treatment plant in 2018 I will have some credentials

Ah, I see.

Down here (at least at the Uni I went to), the ET degrees were all 4-year degrees anyway.

So it was basically, do you want to ride a desk? == BSxE

Do you want to actually do stuff? == xET

There might have been a few oddball Associates degree engineering programs here or there, but a 3 year degree isn't something I'm familiar with.

And yeah, loans or scholarships. Bust that bitch out and make the money on the back end.

I was just thinking about it tonight about how much fun college life was. I almost wish it would have taken longer. PAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYY!!!!

The program I did was a 3 year course as it was a Co-op program.. Meaning that spread out throughout the 3 years there was what they call "work terms" in which we would do interviews for various places and work for them for 3-4 months then go back to class.... I ended up working for the college in the lab which was a great experience
