Good Morning CGs!

Welcome back to the work week for most. I'm looking forward to working today and then having a SIX DAY WEEKEND! I'm so excited. I can't contain myself. Rick (member on here) is getting married this upcoming weekend so that should be a lot of fun. Took a few vacation days since I'm in the wedding.

I need this vacation. My one boss at work has really been riding my ass lately. It's frustrating. He chewed me out yesterday for nothing at all....in a few weeks, he'll move on to someone else and I'll be free and clear. I just have to ride it out. Don't you hate bosses like that?

Ordered about $100 worth of stuff from Summit last night. A couple things I need, a couple things I probably didn't! Lol. Just don't tell the wife.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Bosses target? I always made myself small around the bosses. They saw the larger targets and wham? Of course those folks ended up catching more than their fair share of the bullshit. In most work environments there is usually a couple of easy targets. People that just keep drawing negative attention. Some of the mistakes I made though put me right in the line of fire.

Have a fun day ........ Don't be a target ....

Howdy! I'm going to take this afternoon off to finish installing the Corsa. As usual, my project turned into a cluster**** when I broke my el-cheapo pipe expander tool at about 5:15 on Saturday afternoon. Typical.

Have a safe Monday, all!

Ha, well,not Ha, I bought a cheapo from HF a long ime ago. It wouldn't even budge regular old tailpipe. Probably couldn't even expand a cardboard toilet paper roll tube.

We had a "good" one in the raceshop but, even running it with a 1/2 in. impact would barely do the job.

Nice sunny day today, then 3 days of crap coming, typical April.

Good Morning Gurus

I'm back to work this morning after a week of being on the road. Trying to get re-organized and figure out where I left off and what I need to get working on.

Brad good luck with the exhaust system. It can be a pain in the butt. I let someone else do my cat back after I installed the headers and I'm not happy with thier work. Wish I had done it myself, but I was in a hurry and just wanted it finished -- that's what I get for being impatient.

Matt -- I know it sucks when you have a PITA boss. I'm really lucky at this current job, my boss and I get along really well and have many of the same things in common. I just spent the whole week last week with him in Georgia doing some work and we did great with no pressures or hassles. Knock on Wood!!!
Good Luck with yours

I'm reluctantly back at work this morning....No fights here, at least physically, got some words going back and forth.

Brad, sure hope you get your exhaust put on, they can be one huge PITA. A good expander is hydraulic powered.

Matt, just ignore them, and continue doing your job, some people just like to blow.

Don, I could care less about what needs to be done, but my situation allows that attitude.

HOLY CRAP!!! This Corsa is LOUD!

I brought the pipe to a nearby Auto Max shop that I'd heard good things about, and asked if they could expand the pipe for me. 3 minutes later I was on my way, free of charge. They'll be getting my business from now on.

The install went pretty smoothly after that. Now to clean the rest of the car up to match the shiny exhaust.
