Journey of a woman out of her element.

It seems I have not posted in a while.  There has been quite a bit going on.  LM is growing like a weed and I have been developing myself spiritually at which point I have been keeping up with that on my other blog.  www.holisticempath.com I feel it is best to keep sides of someone seperate.  That way it keeps people from not wanting to read due to my opinions all over.

I did not realize how difficult, loving, caring, wonderful being a mom truly is.  I am so excited about being a mother considering I would have never thought about it.  I am so grateful and thankful for everything in my life.

I hope that everyone can experience.  More to come I am being distracted by King of the Hill

This is 2 test the mobile feature 4 blogger…

Woot lmao

Superchips Announces First to Market

2005 – 2007 4.0L Nissan Xterra Coverage

Sanford, FL – Superchips announces first to market coverage for the 2005 – 2007 MY 4.0L Nissan Xterra. Cortex performance programmer (part no. 4950) is the must have accessory for any Nissan or Infiniti truck or SUV desiring superior drivability, power, and performance.

The off-road bred Xterra is now even more exciting for on-road, off-road, and towing uses with a Superchips calibration installed. Users gain up to 16 RWHP and up to 18 Ft/Lbs torque at 4400 RPM. Other key features in the Nissan Cortex include the best drivability in the industry, enhanced throttle response, wide open throttle restriction removal, speed limiter adjustment, RPM limiter adjustment, diagnostic trouble code read and clear capability, and an industry-exclusive 2-year powertrain warranty. DAQ 1 and DAQ 2 data acquisition software will be available as a no cost online update in the coming months.

The Cortex programmer is essentially never out of date with regular, free updating of the unit exclusively at Superchips.com. Superchips consistently re-engineers their calibrations to stay in-line with the new calibration files OEM manufacturers release and makes them available at no cost to their customers.

Superchips offers a complete line of hand-held programmers for most late-model cars, trucks, and SUVs. Whether you need power, performance, drivability, or improved mileage, Cortex, Flashpaq, and the all new Mileage XS from Superchips can provide it.

In working with all types of people, you begin to realize which ones are actual machanics and which ones claim to be with little to no expriance what so ever.  Which we have always called them ‘backyard’ or ‘shade tree’ machanics.

I know that is it best to LEARN from experiance.  On your own vehicle is fine; then, if anything were to go wrong, it’s your own vehicle and you can take the time to fix it.  But what about another person’s vehicle?  they choose you b/c you are the cheapest.  You have on a uniform so they feel you know what you are doing. It’s very deceptive to people, I see it everyday.

When we purchased

Everyone has friends, aquiantainces or whatever you wish to call them. Some you see often if nothing more than to come by to say hey. Then you have those who only come around when they are looking something whether it was free information, free parts, massively discounted parts etc. I’m sure we are not the only one who has had this experiance.
We have one who comes in for free information on his race car when he SHOULD be working with his business. But it seems whatever information is given, he does a 180 and does the EXACT opposite. And he has worked at this speed shop for many years several years ago but acts as though he doesn’t know shit. SURPRISED? no
We have two different ones that want us to build engines, brings in old, used parts to make one of that part then expects us to WARRANTY IT. Are you kidding me? We have gotten rid of one and hoping to do the other. It’s not worth it after all these years.

Just wanted to share some of what we deal with daily….heh

Keep it bitchin’

It’s obvious that most people who call a place, automatically ASSUME I just answer the phones. Which, I hate to say, is what I do when I call a company. Yet, when the woman goes ‘what can I help you wish’ I go on about my business and give her the infromation I need to find out for.

There have SEVERAL occasions that I have had people on the phone tell me they wanted to speak with a man. Even if I rattle off the answer, they still insist on talking to a man. I use to joke with everyone that I will go and buy a fake penis and throw it on the table when they ask for a man and say, ‘ok, now I have one, may I help you?’ I use to get THAT frustrated about the situation.

Today’s society is so stuck in the old ways and old times, it appears they refuse to accept the fact that women are in a man’s world and they are here to stay.

I do feel it’s intimidating for men to find a woman that know more then they do. And it makes it worse, it’s a woman that know more about a MAN’S subject. I have dealt with this problem all of my life and it’s more of a laughing matter then me getting pissed off ideally.

Next time you walk into a auto parts store, well a speed shop, (the auto zones and advanced stores will hire anyone) don’t cancel out the woman behind the counter, she may be your saving grace.

My Saturday was spent in VA at the speedway. No, not for a NASCAR race, but for the first ever, in VA, NSRA nationals. Saw MANY rat rods and street rods that were unique.

Our main purpose for going was so me and dad could see what changes have been made over the years with trends and popular things. It seems that walking into that place was the same was walking into it in 1976. Nothing has changed. Surprising enough.

More details will come later as well as some photos of some awesome rods!

I received the new Stylin concepts catalog in the mail today. I was looking through it and notice on the first or second page there was this. http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.aspx/partfamilyid/1547
Ok, usually, under NORMAL circumstances, when you see something like that , there is something wrong with the cylinder head. Now, is this a vague attempt to LOOK like someone is burning rubber when they are not? Is this suppose to be ‘cool’? Now, the ‘youngins’ may enjoy it but me, being somewhat of a partial younin myself, find it ignorant, stupid and highly ficticous.

That is my rant for the day.

Until next time
burning rubber…
