I miss NoLa and Louisiana in general. You should need a passport to get there though.

Around Petersburg/Ft lee area, still getting used to the kindness of it all again, Baltimore to here is quite a drastic change lol.

Ahhh other end from me. I'm over in Chesterfield. I would strongly consider going to VCU. I'm doing the GI bill thing there. It really is a pretty cool campus. Several breweries within biking distance, great concert venues, solid car scene (check out my dad's vintage car shop on the boulevard).

Nice!, always nice to meet other GRM folks in the area!

Update:

Well I did get a job finally, but unfortunately its back in to the flat rate mechanics world, Granted I'm extremely happy to be working again but just cant believe that putting in for over 20+ jobs all I've got back were confirmation E-mails thanking me for wasting my time.

Well at least I get to learn something completely different at Volkswagen lol.

which is better flat rate or book rate ?

Neither TBH, but depends on who's book you are going off of, still have to get familiar with this dealers numbers.

Mechanics make the best plumbers. If you can swing the relatively low pay during the several years of apprenticeship, the pay and the perks once you get a license is great.
