  1. As much as it sucks I would fix it myself. I wouldn't let them anywhere near my vehicles again. You could always give the manager a call and tell them how unhappy you are about it, might save someone elses car down the road.
  2. Im in Aberdeen. I didnt think there were any other Harford County folks on here.
  3. Thats so awesome Len! An Adams detail clinic would be the perfect kickoff to your new business. Where is the new shop located?
  4. Im so sorry man! I couldn't imagine losing one of my pups. I know its too soon but I would look into adopting another cat or possibly another dog.
  5. i ordered it through the mail. i ordered it on a whole new computer instead of sending mine in. just incase something was messed up with the tune or if mods changed i could throw my stock one in until that tuned one came back.
  6. Awesome I can wait to see it. I have the airaid tube and bb 87 tune on my 5.3 silverado.
  7. I would recommend the 91 oct. tune. My buddy has one just like that with an intake,exhaust,bb tune and a mild cam and it sounds like an old muscle car. I would also recommend an airaid intake tube with a drop in k&n filter instead of buying a whole expensive intake. The stock box flows pretty good.
  8. Get a black bear tune, you wont be disappointed!
  9. looks awesome! Should of taken off the dealer letters on the trunk while you were at it.
  10. Awesome job! Ive always liked the 03-04 Cobra's. The only thing I see that needs replaced is the Duralast battery.
  11. Hang in there! Try to keep her as positive as possible! Prayers coming your way!!!!!
  12. the bathroom is awesome and convenient. If I had a garage like that I would only need to go inside to eat and sleep.
  13. jealousy doesn't even begin to describe how that makes me feel. :beer:
  14. Thank you! My ring is made by the company Benchmark and is made from ceramic.
  15. Had a great day yesterday! After getting engaged in october we started planning a wedding for early may. After visiting many places we decided it would be crazy to spend 10 to 15 grand for a small wedding. We did not want to wind up with the debt afterwards. That money would be much better spent as a downpayment for a house. So we decided eloping would be the most sensible idea. We have lived together for over 3 years already and have 2 children together so it was finally time to make it offical. She also accepts my Adams addiction!!
  16. Very nice! Now you need to get the firehawk tinted to match the rest of the fleet.
  17. I have no useful information to add to this thread but to say enjoy the ride. Im a fan of a nice long car ride. Also I live about 10 mins from abingdon,md.
  18. I wish I had heard about this sooner so my academy class could all send him Christmas cards
  19. It all started when i was in my 10th grade year of high school. I went to a vo-tech high school and you pick a trade to learn. So I picked the electrical trade because it was the one I really liked. Well it just so happens that less than a mile from my house is a large electrical supply company. So one day after school I ride my bike there and fill out an application. Not even a week later I got a call for an interview and I was hired on the spot. I was still 15 and had a few weeks until I turned 16. It was the greatest feeling ever, I felt like I was on the top of the world. So i worked everynight after school monday-friday 1530-1900. That continued for the rest of the year, I worked fulltime hours during the summer and then back to after school hours during my 11th grade year. The summer before my 12th grade year i got a job thru my school with a commerical electrical contractor. I worked there fulltime thru the summer and during my 12th grade year we went to school for 2 weeks then work for 2 weeks. During that time i realized this is not what i want to do for the rest of my life and a big part of it was due to most of the employees and supervisors were drug users. Also I realized that after going thru the 4 yr apprenticeship i wouldnt be making much money at all. So once I graduated high school I went to a local CC and studied electrical engineering tech. I started working the 4pm to 12 am shift at a trucking warehouse while going to school from 8-2. I was miserable. I had litttle time for homework and sleep. It really started taking a toll on me plus I felt like I wasnt going anywhere. I dropped a few classes, failed a few classes and it was looking like i was doing to be on the 4 yr associates degree plan. Then one day im walking thru the halls at school and see a flyer on the wall for an electrical contractor looking for an electrical estimating helper. So after a few weeks i grow a big enough set to contact them. Sent them my resume, had an interview and got hired within a couple days. So i finally thought great this might finally be what ive been looking for, not physically demanding, with the ability to make a good living. I worked there for about a year and the company and people i workes with were great but there was just one thing. I HATED IT! I literally dreaded going to sleep because i knew when i woke up I had to go there. I did not like looking a blue prints estimating how much it would cost to do a certain job. I didnt get any personal satisfaction out of it. Not only that, i felt as though i really did not know what i was doing. At this point i am 20 approaching 21. Everyone else there worked their way up to estimating starting as an apprentice so they had a ton of experience. Now i was rethinking my whole life plan. I hated working inside in a cube, i hated looking at blue prints all day and above it all i didnt care about it. It didnt matter one way or the other to me if we got the job or not. It was not personally satisfying for me. So i decided i was going to go after my dream job as a LE officer. I applied to the county that i grew up in as a young kid. I had moved to a different state as a teenager as my mom got a new job . At the time the agency i wanted to work for was only hiring correctional officers and not LE officers. So i decided to apply for the corrections position and use it as a stepping stone to LE as it is within the same agency. I got lucky enough to get thru the long hiring process and was accepted to the 12 week para military correctional academy. All of my coworkers couldnt understand why i would leave an office job where i could make a good living to work in a jail. But i had to do it for me. So at the age of 21 i jumped ship and never looked back. i would rather make less and not mind going to work. It would wind up to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I made a ton of great friends, made good money with alot of OT, and most of all it was self satisfieing. I felt like I was making a difference even if it was extremely small. I was officially part of being one of the good guys. I worked at a county jail that held around 500 people on any given day. After about 1.5 yrs at the jail I had seen that they were now accepting apps for LE. I was on the fence. I didnt want to endure the long nail biting hiring process and a 28 week academy especially if it was like the first one. But I knew if i didnt apply i would be mad at myself and who knew when they would be running another one. So at the last minute I submitted my app and i started the hiring process again. After completing each step it was a small victory. I knew i was one step closer to my dream. After completing the last step it was time to wait........ for that almighty phone call. One day in the middle of this past june on the way to work I got the call i had been waiting for. I had made it! 2.5 years after starting at the jail and now 24 years old. Fast forward to now Im almost done week 24 of 28 of the academy. My dream is coming true and its still hard for me to believe. Im excited, anxious, nervous to start. Im very grateful to get this opportunity and very grateful to have the experience from the jail. That is something no one can fathom unless having worked in a correctional setting. So the lessen I learned is dont select a job only because of the money. Do something you enjoy and the money will come. Now ill get off my soapbox. Thanks for reading. Sorry if theres miss spelled words and parts dont make sense, i typed this all on my phone.
  20. i carry in a crossbreed supertuck. It can take a little while to get used too but its well worth the cost,and conceals my 27 great. Make sure you have a thick sturdy belt though. The best holster money can buy on a cheap belt is worthless.
  21. The Glock 23 is the compact 40 cal which holds 13 rounds. The Glock 27 is the sub-compact 40 cal which has 9 round magazines. The 27 feels kind of small if you have big hands, so you can add a little piece on the bottom that allows a spot for your pinky finger.
