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
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
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

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.
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.
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

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

thing I've ever read.
