i'll save all that looking and get started on here  :icon_mrgreen:

Taken with my camera phone friday night..sittin on the couch...watchin a movie...lookin at bewbies.

yea i do want it! But now with another surgery comin up...SOB.

damn you matt! If i wasn't moving next month...argh, and i bought headlight covers...damnit! lol

You know what Matt i think you're the other one i was thinkin of!

i bought a new one from GM a few years ago and had it painted...it's still under my bed since the 92 hasn't exactly moved in a while, lol. It was one of 2 or 3 available at the time, i think another member floating around here or W-body bought one a few months after i did. I paid a lot for it back then too! Fortunately my TGP came with one that's immaculate

hot damn, Adam's already been making these for 3 years? Shit man

Yea i sent him a PM or two. He's actually probably 10 minutes away from me...hasn't responded to my text   :icon_frown:

Yeeeaaa that would be quite a cruise!! and i definitely plan on having a great time

Ok i think there are just a few guys here that are basically partial to this board, so i figured i'd post this shit up here too!

March 8th/9th (primarily the 8th) is going to be a nice little W meet here in Spring, TX (north of houston, south of the woodlands)

Saturday we'll all get together, hang out for a bit, do some BBQ, then all roll out, maybe roll out around 4-5, hit up a spot or two for pictures, then all cruise to a weekly cruise-in called the Nifty Fifties. It's mainly cars pre-72, in fact about 250-300 of them, but then there are LOTS of other cars that go for the crowd. The old cars have their own section. Most of the time there are groups that go out for the crowd, you have Vipers, NSX's, Ford GT's, etc etc, then a couple little racing crews. Very RARELY are there many imports, so it's pretty nice. Most of the old car owners are also cool as shit.

Then probably afterwords, either go hit up some bars or just cruise back to my place and act stupid here.

A few of ya'll know Matt (Euro) he's coming from Illinois!! NO EXCUSE anybody else can't come  :icon_mrgreen:

But yea i thought i'd post this up here. There's room to crash out saturday night for sure. I know a couple people will be coming from a couple hours away and just stay for the lunch BBQ and cruise/pics, hopefully the cruise-in (starts around 7.30)

If anyone is really interested let me know

Oh wow,  congrats on getting in, but i wish i'da known you applied there Nick. I'm not sure how the MMI is, but UTI is a hoax, and i'm sorry to say that The Master, i hope your son is enjoying it.

I researched UTI for months, as i wanted to go there.

Here are a few things you might consider, and these are NOT bullshit, these are RESEARCHED statements that are full truth:
UTI is under investigation by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for FRAUD and other things like FALSE ADVERTISING
Yes, they garauntee Job Placement, but if you graduate in one town, they're going to send you to another part of the US (Even Matt/Euro has a friend to back this up)
I've talked to MANY people that have graduated and didn't learn SHIT through the progam. Once you're DONE with the program it costs nearly $40,000, and due to that a lot of the teachers get paid shitloads, and don't give a damn about the students.
If you miss 3 days you're kicked out of the program. Doesn't matter what the reason. My grandparent's friend's son had a wreck and was in the hospital for 4 days, they kicked him ou of the program, he was almost finished. There went $30,000 that no way in hell can you get back.

I also have two real good friends that graduated from UTI. I became friends with them after they graduated of course, because i later found out they graduated. One guy is a COP, the other guy works at National Tire and Battery for SIX DOLLARS an HOUR. These are guys that paid around $36,000 for the program.

I have a few more buddies that are UTI graduates, and where they work, has nothing to do with the school. They could have not even gone to the school, and still gotten these jobs (i.e. firestone, dealerships, etc)

I'm just trying to give you a forewarning. I wanted to go to UTI, BAD. Again, ask Euro/Matt about it, i told him how bad i wanted to go, and his buddy that went even said it was pretty much pointless. They're in central states, and they sent him to Florida for a job, which isn't paying much.
There's also an O'Reilly manager that i work with, his son went through UTI, here in HOUSTOn, TEXAS, they got him a job in MICHIGAN. He moved up there, 4 months later, we were seeing him around again. All these things they promised him, he didn't get SHIT out of it when he went up there.
I know THREE other UTI students that are working at O'Reillys close to me, and none of them are learning shit. They said the teachers don't really care about anything, and they're all regretting going there.
My grandfather was the one who did research and informed me of how the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is on their case, and he never tells me ANYTHING unless he has EVIDENCE to prove it (he showed me about 3 news articles)

Again, not trying to cut or put anyone down, i'd just hate to see more people get burned.

All in all i've talked to or heard of (i.e. grandparents's friend's son) or an friends with a total of about 14-15 UTI students/graduates, and every, single, one of them regrets it, completely.

So what i did, i'm going to the Houston Community College automotive campus. Same degrees, same papers when i'm done, $3,500 in and out. Thirty five hundred dollars for an associates degee, and i get to bring my OWN car to work on (you don't at UTI) and you get to do your OWN projects (you don't at UTI)

And yea, they're rated #1 for most advanced, because one kid goes and pays them 40G's to go through school for 18 months, they beter have the best shit in town.

HCC, the school i'm going to, has the exact same abilities as UTI. Their machines might not be a year old, in fact they're probably 20, but the classes are small and you get lots of one-on-one time, and all the equipment works flawlessly. There are three shops around the school that send engines over to the HCC campus to have rebuilds done on them, head resurfacing, boring, porting, 3 angle valve jobs, you name it, this school can do it. The hours are the same as UTI as well.

Again, not trying to discourage you, i just hope you did a LOT of research on this school Nick, just wanting to look out for you

shit i posted my pics so i get to talk  :icon_mrgreen:
And i wanna find the SOB that lost to that mustang. He probably thinks something is seriously wrong with the car and is pissed and will sell for cheap  :icon_mrgreen:
