ZERO incentive for them to hurry at all.
Sometimes you get a gas attendant who doesn't exactly speak proper English or is just an idiot, you end up with regular even though you specifically say PREMIUM.

Oh, there's traffic here. Depends where your commute is.
I know what LA traffic is like though - I drove 48 miles each way from Fontana to La Palma (15 to 10 to 57 to 91) and back in my Integra, in rush hour traffic for work each day. Beware though - California drivers are much better than Oregon drivers (IMO), but you'll learn to adjust.
Where in Anaheim Hills did you live? I used to live in Anaheim and worked in Orange for awhile. I had lots of friends that lived in Anaheim Hills.

I'm just off of Weir Canyon, near Toyon Park. Did you get sick of Cali and go to Oregon? Or did you transfer for work?
I also hate not being able to pump my own gas, whenever I go to Oregon it kills me!!

it's a car-drive it
I like the gas stations that have pumps for credit card users and others that want to pay cash. I have pulled in stations that have a car at each pump-alot with no driver-They are inside the store-prepaying, buying goodies, or whatever. I usually pick that pump.

I had a gas attendent literally ram the the side of my car with the nozzle. I guess he felt the only way to make sure the nozzle made it to the hole was to slam it as hard as possible, at which point he missed and hit my quarterpanel just above the little drawer.
Probably has that problem with his g/f alot to....

I miss my family - they're still in So Cal, but I wouldn't want to raise my kids there. Schools here are good, they're involved in lots of great things here, and it's not a dog-eat-dog mentality wherever you go, like in So Cal. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect here, but there are problems everywhere you go. I'm happy here.

hey oregon, i've came down to two options on springs and need your opinions... for springs and springs only; which one should i get? tein s tech. from ebay for $180.99 shipped or eibach pro kit from tire rack for 205.41 shipped(my price)
i know most of you guys would say go eibach but its only a 1 inch drop... the teins are 1.2 1.4?? i'm leaning towards the eibach myself cause i've always had good experience with them in the past. just wondering if you can really tell if the vehicle is lowered with a 1 inch drop.

Both are great companies.. I am not sure on the stiffness between the 2.. also are you going to plan to add adjustable shocks later on? I know koni you can adjust the height on the shock too so that will lower your car as well.. so i guess you gotta ask yourself in the long run how low do you wanna go?

I always watch the attendant to make SURE they put premium. I've caught a bunch of them not paying attention, and yell out, "Hey, I said PREMIUM!", when they push the wrong button.
At the time, I was dating a girl from Oregon. She moved down to Cali and we got married in Anaheim, but after our first child, she got homesick and I transferred to an R&D facility in Portland. We've been here since 1993.

Yea guy is being shady though. Messaged me today saying hes gonna wait untill the money tranfers into his bank account before he ships...
Which anyone that has ever used paypal before knows there is no need to do this. I swear if i get screwed over again in the BM, all the cool shit ive found wont be as cool anymore.

So on a non car note.
Been looking into using my VA loan on a getting a house while the prices are low. Been looking at houses out around Oregon City since the girlfriend is getting transfered out there next monday. Best part is, for the price we want to pay we can get a 4 bed 2-3 bath. Also big perk with most of these houses is......Garages/Shops in the back yard.
Ive wanted a detached garage/shop where i live for a long long time.Now its back to the job search so i can pay the mortgage payments.
Threw out a couple resumes last night, and already got a call for a interview on friday.

^^ i use to live in OC its a nice area.. depending on where you looking to purchase.. i know if you buy a house this year the goverment will give you a tax credit next year too.. might want to ask a tax person on that though..
cool on the job.. hopefully its a sign that the economy is getting better.
