- got my ppl but realised I would never be a fighter pilot cuza my eyes, so I decided to be a commercial pilot instead, and spent $40k on that.
- got all my licences and decided I did not want to spend 4+ years working in buttfuck BC
- spent 6 years in the hospitality industry, which actually was a ton of fun, made great friends, and learned how to deal with people properly and what real customer service is!
- now I'm selling cars and after 2 years+ I've learned more in this business then you can learn in any school. Honestly.
If you spend your whole life in one career, you may be exceptionally good at that, but you'll suck arse at everything else. I'd rather be a well rounded person.

well, if thats the case, i hope i can change your opinion.
Those that have delt with me on and off RS, and when i was at Advance, know i pride myself on providing the best customer service, no BS, treat every person with respect attitude. I do not plan on changing that fact about me.
the thing u gotta understand is that if u have ordered any part from any dealership, u will see the part number is like 000-000-000L or something. u know how many possibilities there are in that part number? slip ups happen, its however how well the person deals with it that counts. acknowledging of the slip up, and swift action is what matters. accidents, mix ups, they happen, no matter how hard you train or do well at ur job. Parts guys are human too.

They say that it would cost 3 times as much to build a 135 from parts than buying a new one. Quote:

Bought my car at BJ.
Good to see someone in the parts dept. on here.
Also it's:
Beamer = Motorcycles.
Bimmer = Cars.
Get that right and you are golden!  | |

Just curious because i did drive aroudn to see where to park. broadway/lougheed cant park from 3-6pm
and parking is very limited on boundary.
i guess parking a few blocks away isnt bad.

^^park at AK, and get a ride there =) haha. Oh yea, you should watch that huge ditch entrance on boundary, in front of reflex supplements. Eveyone drives sideways around that monster. And that damned speedbump right after you turn right.
