Default Oh my god I hate the rain...

Today was my first day at my new job. They won't let me do shit except change oil and even then there will be no oil to change for a long ass time. So I run around in the rain getting cars and putting them up on the stupid rack and than water drips everywhere and then on me once I go under it. And its freezing. I will probably die of pneumonia from this shit.

The joys of being a mechanic. It could be worse, wait till it hits about 10 degrees and it's snowing like a mother.

He's just a lube tech....thats why they're ordering him around and making him do the dirty work.

I hope that doesn't happen to me when I work at Honda.

They said I have to do this BS for 2 months. However I have a Toyota Certification for Brakes and Suspension and Electrical Diagnosis so its not like I'm some noob who doesn't know shit. They better not keep me on this crap for that long. It pays shitty, 3/10ths of an hour's pay. Weak sauce.

And today I changed the oil on a Highlander with the interior and rims covered in plastic and 8.9 miles on the odometer. WTF??

in gran turismo 3, if you change the oil as soon as you get the car, it raises horsepower h:

It doesn't really raise hp, it just brings back hp that you've lost because you've most likely been driving with old/dirty oil.
