Second month as a service writer and I am doing pretty good. I'm really liking the job so far; I think the big reason is I work for a great indie shop that is always above board with customers. Went from writing 12 cars a week in my first month to 37 this last week. My first salary job ever, but its the best paying I've ever had too.  I fell in love with the E36 3 series vert with the M sports package though. I never thought a clutch could be so smooth! I did notice how easy it would be to moneyshift one. The gate location/distance for 1st and 3rd are far too similar. Before that one my favorite test drive was the E46 330i, and a manual trans 2001 4runner. Time to start saving some pennies I guess. In the meantime, a customer is trying to get rid of his 1992 civic DX hatch. No power steering, A/c blows cold, clutch is smooth, T belt done 40k ago, needs a little work but nothing major. 144k miles. Great interior. He bought it for 400. I think I'll offer him 750 for it and see if he takes it  If not, I guess I could finally get the A/C working in my WRX before the summer is over.

Just bought a 97 Honda Accord with 188000 miles for 500 dollars. I didn't need the car but the A/C parts for my WRX would be like 400 and the radio is hosed up, so why not buy a Honda that has working A/C, a working radio and a working everything else? Doesn't burn any oil, had the T belt done w/ seals and water pump at 150k. New tires at 180k. The transmission throws a CEL occasionally, and it hesitates a bit in the 2-3 shift, but I've got plenty of time to source a good junkyard trans for it. If I wanted to pour money into it, I would love it with a manual and an H22.
