But if the dash pattern or the thought of having a scion badge churns your stomach that much, well then move along because that should be the least of your concerns with these little monsters.

Nah, I had an MR2 for 3 years and then the engine blew. That car is way more fun than the 86, but I'm getting one because it's nice and practical and new. Oh and, these cars are like Lexus LS compared to my MR2 lol.

I'm only asking because I'm getting a little impatient waiting for a used BRZ to pop up lol. It's worth the extra bit of money to get an interior I am fond of. If I were being rational, I would just wait for one to show up on craigslist since it's bound to happen, but I'm tired of not having a sports car to drive around.

I ordered an exhaust from Modbargin and they're being quite difficult with shipping it out. My billing address is different from my shipping and they made me fill out a form online with my signature, credit card picture and driver license picture. Now they called me today and told me that i need to sign a paper and mail out.

Que?

There's being properly inquisitive about non-matching information, and there's being paranoid. Shipping to a different address is not uncommon.

Anyone else feel cheated when they need to take a leak during their scheduled breaks?

Pas inhabituel pour certains endroits pour le faire.

Pretty common request from online vendors when selling to somebody giving different addresses for billing and delivery. Many got burnt by scammers doing that so now they are a bit gun shy. Would have thought that they would have the process down pat by now though.

Probably better to have posted this in the vender section though.

Luckily for me, we dont have scheduled breaks at my place. The joys of working in an office environment~

Speaking of which, I received good news today. Looks like the chances of me getting a full time position has gone up! Once I get the word that I'm officially part of the team, I will head over to the dealership and pick up the car that night!

What are these "scheduled breaks" you speak of?

I understand that and i have signed off for things in the past, but I've never had to sign off twice for the same item. Once you have my signature...you have my signature.

I don't feel like posting this to them directly, i just want them to ship my exhaust and that's the end of our love.

They're these pretty cool times where you can sit on your ass and do nothing while at work. You don't even have to pretend to be when the boss wanders by! Truck's here and you want to ship the machines? Pretty sure the driver can wait 15 minutes...

I hate high school kids with their fart can Civics. One just raced down my local street hitting VTAAAAACCC, disturbing my peaceful relaxation time.

Sounds like they want you to give your money to someone else. I would.
