Starting my new Job Tomorrow
Well as some of you may know I start my new Job tomorrow...I'll be working for the company that I used to tune vehicles with HP Tuners Inc.
I quit my job with the state to take what I'd consider a dream job for myself...I'll be working out of my home in the automotive industry...what more could I ask for? They have a great business plan in place and the best tuning product on the market currently which made it an easy choice for me.
I'll pretty much be their email support system which ultimately takes alot of time away from new development for them.
Hopefully this job will lead to many more years of visits to SEMA & other automotive related shows that I've always loved attending.
Anyways thats my story & Im sticking to it 
-Bill

hehe...I think Little G already has dibs from like 7 months ago already hehe thats if I can squeeze him in...they are making it harder to get non employees in as it is and im not sure how many people they want at their booth as it stands since we'll already have a bunch of us there + moderators & such if they want to get in.

This is great and all, but what does this mean for me and my Maxx? I still can only do 108mph, and thoes shift points need addressing. And Im getting a pesky code about a coolant sensor...that needs to go away.
So lets get moving, ok?

He can do all the tuning he wants now, he just can't charge for it! So did you make it to work on time for your first day?

We could have just changed your username.  Now you are a n00b.
