Also going to post a link to my WTB thread for front OE shocks/struts since the thread itself has barely even got any nibbles, let alone any bites...

right now I'm working a lot with a stats program called R, doubt you've heard of it but maybe. It's bigger in the statistics world. using it for predictive analytics. Pretty interesting stuff, but the R language is syntactically awful. It is a statistician's dream language, but a programmer's nightmare. No variable definitions (well I guess php can be like that.. ), assignment operator is <- , lacks solid OOP foundation. Just can't stand it. it is so far from c, c++, php, java, etc..

sounds like you work for a small(er) company though. As much as I like development I'm moving away from it and more into an analyst role as india and mexico have taken most of our development work away

-I edited this post like 5 times for spelling mistakes. I think it's time to go to bed.
R is fun for machine learning and predictive analysis, but agreed in that it's about as fun a language to learn as Lisp.

I work retail, IKEA for 7+ years. However, I'm teaching myself how to setup and operate LAMP and mail servers to try and break into one of the major hosting companies here in Austin.

Getting a clunking sound in the rear of my car when going over small hills at very low speeds. Even when I turn the wheel left or right I can hear the light clack noise like the LCA's are adjusting. Hard to tell if it's the coilover top hats (which I retorqued and felt fine) or the LCA's have something loose. Maybe I'm too low as well. I suppose I'll have to get back under the rear and see if there's any play on the swaybar endlinks and coils.

Everything else about the ride and quality of the toe arms, LCA's, and coils are amazing. Just gotta make sure everything is set up right!
