  • Overtime

    Who's working overtime right now so you can buy those car parts? And what is going to be your next purchase?

    I'll go first, got here at 12:30 pm, it's now 11pm. I'm buying coils, sleeves, nuts, and front struts for my advance suspension kit.

    I'm salaried so my goal every week is to work less than 40 hours. A lot of the guys I work with are hourly and hard core drag racers so they are always trying pick up extra hours to pay for parts.

      30 years being considered a life sentence as a self employed flooring installer led to a choice of early retirement without a pension.Everything i do now is overtime lol.I do appliance repair part time in the clothes washer division of my sons business when i feel like it.18 hrs put in,18 hrs of overtime this week.Yesterday i picked up 3 headlights, a set of power mirrors,radio bezel,a wiring harness,air flow hose ect.I wanted the combo switch he had but he wouldn't sell separate from the steering column which he valued at 100.Paid a little extra for the parts i did purchase but being they were pulled and i didnt have to work overtime and pull them myself.

              Can't work a real job right now. Grandma dying taking up more time than one would imagine.

              I've started buying and selling touch screen Android stuff to have fun money. Not that I have time to spend it. lol I guess that's my overtime. Since grandma is 24/7.

              And I have lots of stuff to install now. Spoiler from Junspeed. DIY coilover kit. Rio steering rack. Wheels. Custom grill. And tint still needs finished. Also a Subi turbo and one day a custom HeartsFab intake.
              Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
