Boise has great weather, and something like 8 different rally cars that are getting or got constructed this year. 4 hillclimbs within 2.5 hours (2 within 30 min) Rally idaho, dedicated Rallyx course that doesn't use cones. Time attack/Track day every other month (more seat time than you can afford in tires for 50 bux)

Every time I go to Idaho I can't stop making white supremacy jokes. Yes, I know not the whole state and all of it's people are closed minded bigots, But I'm pretty sure if I ever lived there I'd end up getting my ass kicked or killed by one of them by not being able to keep my mouth shut.

John , you fuckin crack me up .

A.) I hate hipsters , emo kids with skinny jeans , soul patches , beck and "pbr" gives me a hell of a hang over. Im a heineken only drinker!

B.) Alice in chains is the only thing I listen too.. Seattle grunge!! Beck blows dick!

C.) my only real interests are fast cars and $$ to make my cars faster! Really anything motorsports . I secretly want to urQuattro swap my 87.5 audi gt coupe and rally it! But we talked about that john...lol

D.) obama and clrack/meth heads go hand and hand and my book. Bad!!

As for physical appearance . Im a normal 28 year old that works hard every day. Very self motivated ( I think you have to be to run your own shop) . No soul patches of abe lincoln beards . I maintain a military mindset on appearance . Hippies can go fly a kite somewhere!

Hope this helps! Maybe JFAB needs a good grunt/fab guy that gets shit done!

Sounds like you'd fit in fine in Everett or Albuquerque.

Heineken = skunked 95% of time I have had it. The other 5% of time was in France. It's not good. Caswell posted a pic once of a reciept for a 50 euro bottle he bought at a hotel in Monaco during WRC or F1 race weekend.

B and C are contradictory. If your only real interest was in fast cars than music would be more of an annoyance. I find myself listening almost exclusively to Adam Carolla podcasts and one of three Pandora stations, one plays Bach and other classical, one plays 70s rock like America and the Doobie Brothers, and the last plays reggae. I was explaining to someone the other day that there is no band that I like, only bands I hate and bands that do not annoy me to listen to.
You have to smoke crack or not be paying attention or be of low intelligence or be highly influenced by poor and biased news sources or be a multi-millionaire to billionaire if you think Obama is not the best option out of realistic presidential candidates we've had in the last 12 years.
Have you called Dirt Fish yet? That'd probably be my first move. Call them, send them a resume with fabrication photos, etc. They're probably one of the few "employers" in the exclusively rally world out on the west coast.
Are you flying out for Olympus. In a small world like rallying, jobs in rallying are about who you know.

Intelligent above that of a lab rat? Seems to me he is this smatest thing you that you have had in office for a looooong time. If you had a global vote, obama would win by a land slide. But what do I know, our Country runs along behind you like a lost puppy.

Heineken's got a bite to it , thats what makes it a heineken . How did this turn into a obama/ beer comparing thread.. Its a opinion . Everyone has one. Ive picked up two sponsors this week for the rally car so maybe knoxville isnt lookin that bad. Just have to threatin to leave her to make her act right!!lol . Plus I would really hate to have to have a boss again. Its been a long time since ive had to answer to somebody.

It's ok Bryan, eventually the east will win again and we can continue down the path of the "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" and other stupid BS. hot smiley

Or how about the NEP? Which the Liberals and NDP were looking at bringing in to strangle the wealth of the west again. Naw, they'd never do that...

lol. that's funny. Also maybe you should tell Gage about a URQ rally car just sitting around... Also Gage, check out www.motorgeek.com sometime. I think there are 5 different guys doing SWB converted URQ's. There's a targa newfoundland B3 avant that is a converted to quattro car, an LS powered rs6. Good place to hang out.
