Funny, I am a T-TEN grad as well. Went on to be pro-tech in 5 areas till I left Toyota in 2000. It taught me quite a bit.

Sweet! It's great to hear feedback about the program. I heard that the teacher down here, Tom Keller, is really awesome, so I should have a fun learning experience, which is what I look for in a class.

My instructor was Robert Brown at MCC. Rob retired, from what I hear, and is now part of the team that tested Toyotas alleged to have had unintended acceleration. Him and I didn't always see eye to eye but I did gain a lot of information.

Mods/admins: please do an IP check. It'll show the same for both users even if it's a real person as they will be using the same connection at school. Combine the IP with the browser data. If that matches drop another banhammer.

No, the coddled, clueless, creeper will probably ignore any posts that disagree with him. He might even add a couple more expensive choices that he's considering. I then predict the pampered pompous, prince of the pathetic will announce he has "chosen" a Tahoe, which coincidently is what his dad currently owns and is about to give him anyway. :facepalm:

He's not going to be saying anything now. From everything i have heard he got the banstick right in the face. Although there is some speculation as to the new kid in here being him. :squint:

With that being said we all know how he likes to make things so here ya go buddy

This is the only situation where the answer is NOT Miata. And if you do get one to spite me (which is about as likely as you making a clone of yourself, forcing it to have a sex change, and finally getting laid), so help me Satan I will...I will...uh.
Actually I don't think there is anything I could do to you that would be worse than being you...

True. Nala is not someone we'd recommend a Miata to; but he would deride it anyway as being a 'gay' car and hope someone on here would give him a internet high-five for it.

Sometimes I wonder what Nala would be like at 29. :ohno:

MMMMMM Panther Pink. Makes me feel soft and fuzzy on the inside. Hey Nala buy a Honda CRV,or Pilot. I don't know why you think you need a truck so bad other then a fashion statement. Gas is not cheap. BTW you could easily buy a used A4 if you love them so much.

I had a 03 Audi A4 1.8t quattro. Not a bad car and it was reasoable on gas. Plus it's lacks in the power dept. and has all wheel drive. You would really have to go full retard to wreck it. My A4 was surprisingly reliable too. You can pick up a 03 0 -05 with low miles for 10k or under.

Autotrader is your friend. I can spemd hours on Autotrader.

That is just the wheel style, its not a gear :facepalm:

Look at how the crank connects to the wheels with a bearing. It wasn't supposed to pretend to be driven by the teeth on the inside of the wheel.

I did T-TEN for a few years too. Never had any intention on using it for a job, just took it to learn about cars back when.
Its a good program, at least at Ventura College it was... They got pretty much every jobs, especially if you were any good. Chuck was the f*** man, amazing teacher. The other one Alan was OK, but didn't give a f*** about teaching people who weren't motivated to learn, and your typical vocational student is not exactly studious. However when ever I asked questions he was helpful, and when the book store ran out of books, and he saw me STILL trying to buy one off someone at the end of the semester he pulled me aside and just gave me one. Very hands on program with a good mix of theory an practice (we did 1 hour lecture at the beginning of every class then into the shop for a few more hours).
MUCH better program then the expensive schools, imo. All the experience, almost none of the cost.

What else can you tell me about the A4? I'm Miata shopping, but I really want an Audi right now.

Same 1.8t as the TT, right?
