Not all of them. Only some of them. There's still good ones out there.

most of them are garbage.

when i'm told i can be fired if i move a case of soda that is sitting out in the middle of a lane in a warehouse because only union truck loaders are allowed to touch them i draw the line.

there used to be a time and place for them... i think we, mostly, have gotten to a point where a person can put their foot down in the work place. they are obsolete entities that exist to bully employers and non-union employees.

granted, the bullying is on a per person basis... but you get a nice mob mentality when it comes to heavily unionized businesses

now that situation is excessive. That's far different than subcontracting out an entire overhaul of a bus and then having me do a once-over for safety issues, and finding 3 pages worth of problems.

If I hadn't have done that once over, the bus may have caught fire, or killed a TON of people. THIS is why we want to do our own work. Subcontractors are garbage.

Julie found a potential car. 01 Mustang GT. Black, manaul, leather, fully loaded. It has an aftermarket hood, full body kit, and an SLP catback.

The bad, its an R title but sicne its an R it is street legal. We don't care about re-sale value as I would jsut part it out at best anyway so I guess the R title really isn't even much of an issue. The body kit wasn't isntalled perfectly, not quite lined up in the front and the paint has spidered due to cheap paint or bad prep. Has a wing so it will be removed and the trunklid will be filled.

The good. Only 51k miles, has 2 sets of wheels with tires, summer and winter, price is awsome at $6k, owner also has all the origional parts to go with it also.

We are setting up a time to look at it in better detail.

Whatcha think?

i bought a r-title truck before in washington, '01 Dodge dakota R/t, black, single cab, 54,000 miles for $4k.

thing was good, till i wrecked it myself

still was able to sell it after wrecking it for $2k.

long as you don't plan on trying to sell it afterwards, and if it's in good shape, go for it.
