    I'm sorry to hear that and hope you find employment soon. With any luck, a job offer will come before the car is out the door.

    The employment environment sucks for all of us- and I don't see a lot of good signals on the horizon with the current economic train engineer.

    Good luck on the hunt for both!

    Hmm- maybe around the financial district/parking decks late night and see how many bank guards you can drive insane. Barney would be getting the bullet out of his pocket.

    Off/T...

    Not if I do it first!

    Barney would be shaking like a f@#$ing bowl of Jello... or maybe the animated avatar that I have that isn't working....

    Actually the police on campus are equivalent to CHP and have jurisdiction (Rambo reference) and they tazered some kid here on campus for SKATEBOARDING... It made city news...

    On Topic...

    Fonzie, I am not sure if others have asked yet or PM's sent but are you interested in parting out?

    Fonzie,
    Sorry to hear that, dude! I know you've put a lot of time, energy, and money in that car, and it's far and away the best-sounding RS6 out there, too. Absolutely animo!

    I wish you luck with the sale, and I'm sure she'll go to a good home.

    I fucking hate this economy. Fonz, watching your bumper cam video a few months ago put me over the top to finally find an RS6 of my own... and owning it has made me a happier person.

    For that I thank you. Good luck, man.

    Really sorry to hear about this Fonz. It sucks to hear about these kinds of things happening to good people, but you will find another job and another car if you have to.
