I think he would have been better off walking to work than taking a payday advance to be totally honest. So many people can't pay them off because they are free to do what they want with interest rates. BA$TARD$!

Fuckin scum, I hate people that trash something that is not theirs. I really think if the laws werent so freaking backwards and protect the guilty parties more than the victims and allowed us more freedom to protect our shit, thieves and vandals would think twice about doing things like this.

Hope it doesnt set you back too much with the other income problems you guys have been having lately.

if we pay the check in to cash back by the 24th we only owe $18 more

Well I hope you don't get scammed by that stupid shit. Messing with peoples cars or taking peoples money is never a good thing. Especially messing with others cars and why the hell would they take the stupid badges. well anyway now you can make the car look a little cleaner without them right?

that really sux, especially what they charged you for it. was that before or after a core charge? maybe if you take the busted one back you'll get your core charge refunded to you. it won't be much, but apparently it'd be really helpful to you guys. and if i were you, i'd get a job (if you don't already have one).

Civic Accord Honda
11-07-2006, 04:25 PM
all the local fast food joints say you must be at lest 18
and you have to know Spanish even for a cartpusher job
there is already a local paper boy and they wont go to are part of town
and paper boys are still kids out here
in we lived in Valencia
they
would come in a van and they

Dont you need a work permit from school when your under 18, I did many many many years ago

Civic Accord Honda
11-07-2006, 04:42 PM
u got a walmart right try them they hire under 18 i belive

just like home depot and k-mart thay only hire you tho cal-works (welfare program) out here

ghettogeddy
11-07-2006, 04:50 PM
so ur saying u guys make to much money for u to get on welfare

mkymonkey
11-07-2006, 04:52 PM
yeah i do believe you need a work permit to be able to have a job under 18. not only that, you can only work a certain amount of hours by law here in CA

but hes saying that they wont hire him because he dosent speak spanish

frantik
11-07-2006, 05:32 PM
^ yeah, but thats not racism is what i'm saying. :) if they didn't hire him because he's not hispanic, then that would be racism.. but you don't have to be hispanic to know spanish. anyways totally off topic

11-07-2006, 05:33 PM
Wow you really did get screwed. I went to a junkyard today and radiators were about $35 each. I also saw 2 3gee Accords, one was on top of another car, it was an LX-i too. Other one was a LX with weeds in it :(

ghettogeddy
11-07-2006, 05:33 PM
i guess it wouldent be racism maybe discrimination

frantik
11-07-2006, 05:46 PM
i guess it wouldent be racism maybe discrimination
it's not discrimination either, at least in the way you're thinking of it. Knowledge of spanish is just a requirement of the job.. like knowing how to operator a computer or welding torch. Yes the employer will 'discriminate' against those who don't have the skills required for the job, but that happens at every job. :)

ghettogeddy
11-07-2006, 05:57 PM
ya that makes sense i guess ive never had the prob and hell i worked at walmart never once had a prob with language nor was it ever brought up i guess it sucks to be in the middle of a farm town u have to know i dif language just to work a min wag job

Civic Accord Honda
11-07-2006, 06:36 PM

the damn radiator spung a leek today and we had to get a new one from a JY
it fucking cost us $95 with tax :(



Just letting you know I dropped a little over $1,100 into the DX about 3 weeks ago on a "radiator leak"

Where'd that $1,100 go you say? Well, it went into a new: radiotor, thermostat, holder, housing cover, a couple bypass hoses, some heater hoses, a water pipe, a pcv valve and tube, an o ring tube, an upper radiator hose 3 freezeplugs and some coolant + labor.

That's what it takes it keep an accord in mint condition now a days...gotta love it.

And whores, damnit, get back on topic.

yeah you best not have overheated it. cars dont like that. a thing a series engines like doing is when the water runs out they keep running really hot and the head warps and warps u lose one cylinder then 2 then it dies.... found that out thehard way when a hose blew. i thought it was damn good tho. not many engines can run without water for 20mins at 100 km/h must be that good old cast iron block
