Our drivers must have went to the same training class
I couldn’t tell ya what my FedEx driver even looks like. I did have a SMOKIN hot UPS driver for a minute though last year.. He definitely worked out..
Nah-it was definitely a she, and it was absolutely ridiculous how fine she was. I thought I was on some weirdo candid camera porn flick mash up the first time she showed up at the crib.

I was on live chat with Traxxas earlier today. I asked a simple question about one of their vehicles. The person who responded to me was extremely rude. To the point where I thought they were joking. But they weren’t joking. I can’t believe that company allows their customer service people to behave that way. So Chris from Traxxas can suck it.

Sadly, it is all too common with lots of 'chat helpers' these days.

I have not messed with nor purchased any new AE cars because of their customer service.
I love these cars but their parts dept can keep ALL their parts!
Considering how deep I've gone into Kyosho vintage, I'm gonna go ahead and guess that was a mistake on AE's part. I'm thinking I might be EXACTLY their target customer...
If I ever finish the 25 other cars I have to work on, I might give AE another shot.
I feel the same about Traxxaa. The Revo and Jato I bought were great! The company can kiss my arse!

It makes me wanna not buy Traxxas but they’re such a dominant brand in the industry. The local hobby shop here stocks tons of mainly Traxxas RC’s and parts. Guess I’ll just get over it.

or you could go vintage. little need for LHS's and no need for those twits from tx.
i stopped going to my local Hobby People cause all they did was push traxxas. weird thing is, the manager was a 1/8 nitro elitist. now they're out of business.

the boss has been in and out all day today. and now with 20 minutes to quitting time he's winding 
like his life depends on it. which means I'm going to be dropped into total fornicating chaos as soon as i walk in the door tomorrow morning when i have to finish all of it. 
i swear, if any of it is just for stock, I'm setting fire to it and pissing on the ashes.

Thats strange. Would you personally choose Arrma over Traxxas for a nice basher?

Gone - bye bye.
Yesterday at our shop we finished a pretty nice Impala with only 94k miles on it for a lady with 2 kids. Figured I'd do her a solid since there was nothing to do after.
This day it was slow and I had nothing really to do after other than sweep a floor that's not dirty so I went really hard on it. Most days I don't have time to fully detail cars, just our classic restorations but this day was dead. That's why I did it.
Completely detailed the interior to look brand new if not better ( I am a very skilled detailer, also do body work). I even did the engine bay with detail brushes and everything else to perfection.
Day ends.
I go home pretty excited about it telling my girlfriend how I was happy with the work and how I was very excited about finishing it to get it to the customer.
I'm the type of person who really likes to have happy customers and take pride in doing great work. I stride for excellence and perfection.
Next day:
I get to work and take it for it's final wash.
I get back, go to polish (clean) the windows.
Boss comes out yelling (yes literally yelling at me in front of the other employees, I'm the only one he treats like garbage)
"I don't need to pay you to sit there and detail this f****** car. it's JUST a $1000 job! go park that f****** car. There's other $*** you can be doing!" For the record the car had whole side replaced, the fender, front and back door and quarter.
He completely killed my moral completely for the rest of this day. Killed my pride in the job. Why should I care anymore to impress his customers? Why should I work like I'm paid $18-$19 an hour when I'm paid just above minimum wage ? Why do I do this?!!?
I'm already far under paid but I work like I should be paid well over that every day. I'm a hard worker.
My boss is literally a narcissist by definition with anger episodes.
He's always going on about:
"customers are the most important thing to this company! They're literally my boss!"
"We take great pride in our work! We are the best in the area so no cutting corners!"
And turns around and tells me stuff like:
"humans are just tools! You're nothing but money makers to me!" Bla bla
The first day he was fine letting me go hard on the car. But the second day he exploded on me and didn't let me finish the detail when all I had was the windows left.
I hated doing all that hard work just to leave the simplist of tasks undone. I was just trying to blow his customer off their feet and set a great image of our company.
He makes it very difficult to work there, very.
When he's gone and it's just us guys we all have a good time and work great, no drama.
Bad thing is I bought a car from him of which I still owe $3,000 for and I'm stuck with him until it's paid. I can't leave because In the contract it states "if -my name- leaves or quits the car is to be returned and stored. Payments can still be made"
Idk, I'm looking to start a power washing business to make more cash and get out doing my own and pay off that car faster.

I am now $5,819 into this new to me truck.
That’s my rant. I did this to myself and I’m happy to spend the money on it… but I’m still going to complain about it.

Thats one word for it. I'd sure like to meet the design team who signed off on this thing. You know, so I could.... shake their hands.It looks adorable.
