You heard it folks, I'm now a Honda tech. I definetly would like to gauge my eyes out. I have so far counted 12 HARDCORE ricers here, with everything from loads of stickers, to LED washer lights, to triple-decker wings. Somebody shoot me...........

On the plus side, I'm using the bay and machine space to do Nissan work, so if you're in middle TN you have the use of a lift and me, have at it..............

Could you install some of those cool LED washer lights for me? Do you need a lift and air tools for that? :D

No shame in working for Honda. The cars aren't responsible for the horrible things their owners do to them. I pity the machines like I would a dog wearing a sweater or a monkey wearing pants.

No kidding, you all wouldn't believe the number of cars I send back that I wont' work on because they are improperly modified. Improperly lowered, timing covers missing, horrible alignment, exhausts improperly installed, etc. I won't even sort out wiring issues from idiot junk these kids have installed..........

I wouldn't mind working for a Honda Dealership. They always seem to be the nicest, so I'm sure they have the best benefits and pay. The Toyota dealership owns here though.

Hey it's a job, and one where you can get experience that's transferable to "good" makes (snicker). It also gives you a chance to peak inside the mind of ricers. I see no down side to it.

I'm in Nashville/Franklin/Brentwood, TN. Yes, our dealership is actually very nice and very honest, which is odd for most places. We will take modded cars as long as it doesn't in any way affect the repair work. It's also quite funny, the younger guys all have riced up stuff, the older-more experienced guys have lots of old muscle cars which we spend most of our time oggling over. And I'm about as anti-rice as they come, so no chance of me doing any of that bull s***. E-mail me if you want a specific location

I worked at a independet auto repair shop for a while and i was suprized at how honest they were in doing buisness. Most of the guys were into muscle cars except for this one guy called pete. He was craziest czech i have ever met. I learned lots of interesting stuff from him. Did you know you can get hookers for real cheap in russia? 2 hot ones for just 50 dollars a whole night! And you get the STD's for FREE! Anyways, he was into hondas and new subarus and stuff. But not rice, just nice.

I go to school in Knoxville, live in Nashville for the summer. I can't tell you whih dealership it is over the board like this, for fear of reciprocation and all, but if you need work feel free to e-mail me off board, my dealership is but 45 minutes or so from Lebanon.
