Tonight at our final MM meeting of this semester Dr. Thomas, one of our club advisors, mentioned his interest in going to Deals Gap, NC to travel on the famous "Tail of the Dragon". This is a great idea and would be something new for the club; the question is, is there enough interest among MM'ers to make a club trip?

Dr. Thomas may likely go in January over the winter break, and he extended an invitation to anyone who might like to join him. The idea was also to make another trip during warmer weather closer to spring perhaps as a club.

Thoughts?

Kinda reminds me of Dave's rear-ending by the drunk truck driver though.

So as some of you know I am graduating this spring. I will be graduating Business Management with a Chinese Business studies Minor.

I have started applying to many jobs to get my foot in the door anyway. I have a job offer from a University in China to teach English, and although this has little to do with business, it would be a year in china to just dick around, improve my chinese language skills.
However, I want to see what my other opportunities are as I would like to get into a career path at some point. I figured some of you seem to be doing well, and you guys also have the experience of working career jobs so your advice would be more than just helpful. I have a resume I could send any of you if you know of a job that might be a match.

I really dont know exactly what I want "job" I want to do, howd you guys figure out what you wanted to do down to a job title?

I would prefer to work international or in the automotive industry, but at this point, its a job and id like to get working anywhere so I can get some more experience under my belt.

Also howd you guys find your current jobs? What sites did you use, career fairs, neighbors, friends?

I appreciate any advice/references you guys have!

you guys always seem to know where the best deals on computer related things are so i figured id post up to see what you guys think. I'm trying to buy a photo printer for fairly cheap (150$ or less). I have no idea what to look for or what is good. Point me in the right direction!! Thanks in advance.

requirements:
-under 150 dollars
-print photos from digital pics
-doesnt need to be stand alone, itll be hooked to a computer
-also lemme know if 150 is too low for any decent quality
-links are always good

just something i came across that might interest some of you subie guys if you like this kind of thing. something like 2.5 years of various subaru used oil analysis.

information collected from the bobistheoilguy webiste and compiled by a very bored person

I was about to move from eTrade to Zecco, anyone have an account? Apparently there's a $50 referral, figured I might as well put someone in.

'07 F150, Extended Cab, Short Bed, Lariat, 5.4 (~365 lb-ft!) truck. Then, Alison and I promptly drove it 200 miles through snow, ice, curves, and mountains, thus why it's a little dirty in the pictures.

Pros:
It'll take me a little while to get used to it and be able to drive it like the tan one, but it really is a nice truck. It has a firm, responsive ride, the steering resistance is perfect, it hauls ass up the mountains, and it stops well too. Automatic climate control is sweet, steering wheel controls are an unnecessary but fun feature, integrated sat radio eliminates a gadget from the dash, and the power seats fit well.
3.73 rear end, big V-8, trans and oil coolers = tow much better than my other truck.

Cons:
I'm not a fan of the 20" wheels just because tires are expensive and limited.
The PO ordered it without the limited slip rear end. It needs LS. That's a big bummer. 3.73's, 365lb-ft torque = tire smoking machine.
Also, the PO ordered it without the sliding rear glass. Bummer #2.
Drive-by-wire is a little different in terms of throttle response. No necessarily a con, but a "Get use to it" thing.

It's no secret I'm a Ford guy. I think they really have the best truck out there. A drive in this thing across snowy, twisty WV roads just furthers my dedication to the brand.

It's not definite yet, as I'm going to try a spare battery this evening, but it appears that my phone has bit the dust. Since the plan the phone is on is not in my name, nor paid by me, I do not have the option of renewing it for a free/cheap phone....

sooo, who has a Verizon phone they're no longer using?

Unfortunately, I have to be picky: the phone needs to be "Chaperone - Child" capable... but that's pretty much my only requirement.

Just got back from picking up my car, guess the moped got a new friend. Here are some quick pics, better pictures tomorrow. I'm completely drained from driving 8 hours in a car that wasnt built with roadtrips in mind...
