here is another line from the same movie. "When I was growing up, if we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub".

Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Here is a scene from one of my alltime favorites. Nenge? Nenge Mboko? It is me, Lionel Joseph! Lionel! From the African Education Conference! Yah, mon, I was Director of Cultural Activities at the Haile Selassie Pavilion. I remember the pavilion - we had big fun there! Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah! Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah! Oh, memories!

I prefer "dropping a deuce". 8-)

Good move sir, welcome to bassresource!

O brother where art thou! Thats one of my favorites 8-). Heres one, "I ASSUME YOU ALL HAVE GUNS AND CRACK!"

No Country For Old Men "If your gonna shoot, shoot...Dont talk.

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti"

Football and basketball, whether im watching or playing. Hanging out with my friends or just good honest people and im a happy man. Recently I have REALLY gotten into the automotive department and im loving it. I now work in a garage and learn tons of new things daily so I guess you could say my job is my hobby, I love waking up and going to work . My most current and fulfilling hobby is my truck, I have a few more things do do with it before its a finished project and when im done with that im going to buy a junker and rebuild and race it.

My brother went to Indiana to visit a friend and upon arrival they stopped at hooters. When the waitress asked my brother what he wanted to drink he said Coke and she said "Coca Cola?". Then my brother says no, I would like Dr.Pepper. He said it confused the heck out of the lady and then he expained that we call them all "Cokes". Apparently you northerners call it something like "pop". Oh yea, did I read a George Lopez reference in that post? "What kind of fountain drinks do you have"?................."One minute please, hey what is fountain drink"?OOOOOOOHHHH soda".

Say hello to Bubba!

And it sounds d**n good! I drove an 89 supercharged 5.0 and it had 40's with high flow cats, I just stood there in awe of the looks and sound 8-). Probably the nicest muscle car I have ever seen. Come to RI, we'll show you how we roll. Oh...and cats? Cats are a must here seeing as we do emissions testing. lucky for you, RI does not. As a matter of fact they do! Just gotta know a guy.... 8-) No way!? I thought Texas was the only ! The instructor lied to me then.

What about sponsoring a local t-ball or soccer team or something? I've never known the return on that, but I do respect businesses that help out their community. Also, perhaps buying a champion market animal at the local stock show? Just a couple of quick ones that were on the top of my brain. -Fisher Another: Oriental trading has alot of business oriented "give-away" items (Cups, notepads, pens, etc.). Perhaps handing these out at a local festival, etc.? Jake, more specifically, what part of the metroplex is the shop located in. I'm sure local economy plays into this somehow. Its in the Keller/Fort Worth border, close to Roanoke and North Richland Hills. We have been asking around so to speak and most of the businesses have been saying the same thing as us, its dead. Im hoping it will pick back up soon, it sucks to see my boss work so hard and so good and have so little business. Like Mike said, are there many new Kwik Kar, Pep Boys, Firestone, etc. service centers in the area (new Wal-mart nearby)? These places could have taken some of his business. I'd be willing to bet that many people just aren't having their cars serviced as much as they used to due to the high gas prices and slumping economy. He also makes a great point about your job. Keep your options open regarding further employment. If the business continues to go south, you might be looking for something else soon. That is exactly it. Back when it was first opened in the mid 80's he was the only mechanic in that area for 3 miles in every direction. Now there are 2 Wal-Marts within 5 miles and a few Kwik Kars and some Exxon service stations. Like I said, everyone in this area has been saying the same thing, its dead slow. The quality has not went down because since ive been there it is A+ work from what I can see. Hopefully things will change, I Love going to work everyday and thats something I have never had before.

I call every "soft drink" a coke along with 99.9% of Texas. "What would you like to drink sir"? "Coke". "Ok, and what kind of coke would you like"? Then us Texans specify which "coke" we want 8-).

My boss told me pretty soon I was going to be at the curb wearing a grass hula skirt holding a sign that says we will lay you since im the lowest man on the totem pole as of now :-[. I suggested a cookout/muscle car show on a saturday with hooters girls 8-), that one is being strongly thought about.

His model/year jeep only comes in a 6 if im correct. We had an 05 6 cylinder Jeep Grand Cherokee come in the other day to get his cat fixed. He had Magnaflow on it and it sounded like it was farting down the road :-X. Flowmaster is naturally deeper sounding so it shouldnt sound too bad on a 6 cylinder.

I dont want to sound cocky or over confident but we do ALL of that. We make sure windows are properly cleaned off before adding the new sticker. Its not just inspections, we do complete automotive repair and i dont want to bragg but we have one of the better Certified Techs in the DFW area here and the owner has been building engines since he was a teenager so they have the know-how. I feel like All we need is that little boost to get us really going but I just cant seem to put my finger on it.

Are you going to put them on yourself?

I have 40's on my truck, heres a quick video I made for a friend to help him decide. I think 40's have the best flowmaster sound but 44's are a good choice also.

I recently started a job at an automotive/ state inspection garage. The place has been here for years but things seem to be at a dead stop. The owner is getting frustrated due to the lack of business and is looking for ways to get our name out there. I have been thinking and have come up with a few ideas but i would like some more. If anyone has any ideas at all for a good marketing scheme it would be greatly appreciated. Just something to get the name out that we do anything you need done and more.

NICE!

I ditched the crutches last week :-/. I cant afford to miss work, I have an incredible opportunity to learn things that I have wanted to do for so long and I don't want to miss out. Plus I actually love going to work every single day. I try not to over do anything and take it as easy as I can so I think I'll be ok.
