Sadi posted:I worked for FN for a senior design project for a little while. They seemed to have their poo poo together and know what they were doing. Their engineers were pretty good. Also their pay rate seemed pretty ok. Also as a recent engineering graduate, if a company came to me with a job offer like the one above I would tell them to screw off. There are so many good jobs out there right now offering a fresh out of school engineer 5-10k more than that.

If you're not going to fix your electrical gremlins, at least make sure you or someone in your group has a fire extinguisher.

Man, that blows. Early model XJ, looks like... wiring? Fuel lines melt through? Puncture the trans cooler lines and it sprayed on the exhaust? That's exactly why I carry a fire extinguisher in my POS. 1. carry at least a 10 pounder, preferably a 10 pounder and a few 5 pounders, you'd be surprised how little a fire extinguisher does if you don't have an ideal angle to spray from. 2. if the fire is under the hood DO NOT OPEN THE HOOD! It'll flare up, you should be shooting up from underneath if possible, if you have to, punch holes in the hood with something and spray through them. It makes a mess, but it limits oxygen to the fire while you're trying to put it out. 3. Most importantly, ignition off the second you realize it's on fire. No need to keep the fuel pump running, increasing your problems. 4. extinguishers should be within easy reach of the driver and preferably passenger as well while fully belted in.

This morning I checked my dad's truck to see if I could find its vacuum leak. I wonder why this side's so greasy and the other one's not?  wait a minute  well, there's the vacuum leak and the oil leak, which apparently has been spewing oil all over half of the engine compartment for at least a year. Wait a minute, what was  no  noooooooooooooooo Why? How? How long has he been driving it like this? How has he not noticed!? Also, possibly related: the bump stops on the control arms are beaten to poo poo and half missing on both sides. Unrelated: the flexible steering coupler has beaten itself to poo poo and the steering is unpleasantly loose. atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Sep 8, 2012 |
