Big O no mo!

Well, it's official.

I am a Big O guy no more!

My business partners and I came to an agreement: I agreed that they were fu&*in' Shi&^eads with no clue how to operate a succesfull shop, and they agreed that I shouldn't be their partner anymore

So I have some free time on my hands now to be a post ***** again!!!

I was thinkin' more along the lines of "Deuce Bigalow" as my next occupation

Seriously though, I'll be just fine financially for a while.

The only bad part about this whole thing, is that I had just talked my best friend (Bob79280ZX) into quitting his job and coming to work for me! Needless to say... They shitcanned him as soon as I walked out the door. So, I have to help him find a new gig.

I am NOT going to miss the auto service industry at all.

I'm gonna take some time off, spend it with my kids, work on the Z a little bit and when I feel like making some more money, I'm going back to being a "White Collar" shmuck instead of the shmuck I was at Big O

Well, There's a problem with that...

Last Saturday, some dumb bitch in a Corolla "S" tried to employ the "Pit Manuever" on my wife and kids in the ol' PT Cruiser.

Everybody is fine, but the Cruiser got a little touched up.

It's currently in the body shop.

Meanwhile... We get to drive a brand new Dodge Charger It's a great big giant gas guzzling ugly-*** piece of CACA!!!!

No... It's the way cops get a chase suspect to spin out... They hit the left rear wheel with their bumper and PUSH the car into a spin. I guess the stupid bitch decided she was getting into my wifes lane weather there was another car there or not.

Wow that was friggin' sweet! I used to be a hardcore watcher of chase videos. But that one by far was one of the best piece of driving I have seen on a cop chase video!

It's just too bad he could only recover in one direction Atleast the cops figured that out after a couple in the "wrong" direction

Actually, if you watch the video closely, you'll see he has his wheels turned to recover from that spin, but the concrete barrier on the side of the highway, prevented his car from coming around.

I suspect he can correct going the other way too.

That's some mighty fine drivin' from a good 'ol boy from Oklahoma!

Well, you finally made the break. After the last aborted attempt, congratulations!

If you have the financial wherewithall, definitely spend as much quality time with the family as possible!

What kind of white collar schmuck do you wanna be when you grow up?

Unemployed sounds so "white trash". Think of it as a "well-deserved and earned vacation" or a "temporary early retirement"

Think of it as "Independently Wealthy".
