oh and saif, make sure u tell insurance that all this happened at once, not two separate times, this way they will only make you pay your deductible once.

Ralph, you have to lower it at least a little bit!

That Greddy exhaust does look pretty darn good. I considered getting an exhaust of some sort, but I'm unsure since the car is an A/T/

Just let me know when and I can try and make it. This client is fast-paced as the senior is leaving so I'm taking over. Pretty intense.

LOL, like i havent heard that before.
/end sarcasm

what i do, is look at seismic data( ya know what earth quakes look like on paper right?) and apply geometry to it. Clean it up(usually alot of noise), make it look useful for geophysicist to analyze and determine where oil might be. usually the data is old, from 1970-80's.

Saif, we're having a meet on saturday @5, you want me to come scoop you?

To be honest, I scored this job unintentionally.
I don't have a degree. and math isn't my strong point.
Even tho, its very tedious and hard I manage to learn and keep learning about this field.
Right now, I make okay money. but I'm hoping in like 2 - 4 years time I hit 60K.

So i ordered this Megan EZ Street coilovers this morning and when i was researching bout them last night,i found out they just arrived in the U.S yesterday and are basically sold out everywhere. Im giving this a shot to see how they ride and give my own review,cuz i know one of the accord guys had the older one on his coupe and they seemed fine as he said (they also slammed his car). SO i hope this goes well c uz i know someone has to be scape goat right? I just hope they dont end up being POS cuz i was going to order K sport but i was 200 bucks short.

Theyre fully adjustable for lowness and stock high with rebound and such,and also 15 way settings.
