Well, Since its summer, I applies at a Buick/Jeep dealership(Two american icons, with a cojoined BMW dealership..........close to auto heaven on earth?), and they interviewed me on the spot and had me do a drig test(which I went to have done immediately), and the guy said once they got the result they'd call me for a second interview.

 

1.) it looks pretty good for me, at this point, right? I mean doing all that in one day.

 

 

 

2.) I need a week off in june for that trip I've had scheduled since October. A Senior type deal(just me and family tho), to the USGP. I forgot all about it during the interview today, so shoul I call him back and tell him I'll need off a week in about 4 weeks from now, or wait until the final interview next week?

 

Oh he asked me to "sell my glasses to him".....I realized what he meant in about 1 sceond and went right off.......then I guess he was happy about 15 seconds later and was gonna interupt me, but I hit another main point and he let me keep going(cause I wasn't stopping........salesman style)

Sounds pretty good, good luck. I know it always seems to work that way when job hunting...I know friends who have had weddings and what not to attend while job hunting, and then you end up having to ask for time off right after starting...oh well, such is life.

well, I am Buick/Jeep used-cars only in sales, as all BMW delerships have to be technically independent of any other brand. so BMW bracnh is technically a different comapny, even though its the same building. I'm hoping though that I'd still get a discount on an 2 series. heh

 

but as for Buick/Jeep's, if I get the job, GM-TC guys are welcome to come there and talk to me. I should know something next week

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
