Well Boys, Its Been A Year.

[CarMichael Angelo]

This makes my second attendance at the international auto show working in the capacity as a BMW Genius, and that means its been a little over 12 months for me here in the new job.
Its still going good overall though, this is a job that I couldn't have hand picked for myself any better.

Im not gonna get rich here that's for sure, but where else do they pay 22.56 an hour to talk about a car?

It's not all a bowl of cherries though,....standing around at the international autoshow in Birmingham AL. is not w/o peril...People still get drunk,...and then for whatever reason decide to go to the autoshow....and then find me with their drunk assed selves so they can tell me all about the 1983 3 series they had in college/highschool.

It is what it is though,...I mean how can anybody complain about having to stand around while getting paid.

There are some "site specific" Interesting tidbits that I found relevant enough to start a thread here however:

I mean, Who wouldn't want this pinball game in their man cave?

Ever seen a Mustang pinball machine? I havent.

Ive also never seen obe of these things..
( up close anyways)

Im here till 6pm tonight...any of you guys wanna stop by and see me, ill be the guy standing around, trying to keep all of the riff raff from slamming shut the I-8's doors.

As a pinball guy mustang is on my list to have one day to go in my small collection, it's a mid level game, semi affordable (at about $4000) used. Catches some flak because tanner foust is a voice.

I believe it was actually sold through some ford dealers as well as pinball dealers.
I considered putting it on a credit card at ford and telling my wife it was a transmission...

I spy a SHO.

Still the same damn car 2013-2017 without changing a damn thing...

They have one in the waiting room of my local Ford dealer. My daughter likes a slam her hands on it and pulled the knobs. I have never actually spent any money in it. Prettu cool though, didn't realize there was more of a back story.

Congrats on a year of steady employment. Aside from your wife, I am surprised anyone has been able to tolerate you in person that long!

They are German, they dont know what Mike is saying. Makes it easier to tolerate.

I know you guys are joking, but I also know how Mike can appear on the forum.

We really need to have a Stangnet meet one day. He's really a fun person.......of course we have to wait till I have a driving mustang.

The thing I remember about you being there is that's when Doby finally got painted Jeez.

See, i told them you were a nice guy.

I don't know when the real deal (working on the blue car) will happen now Mike.

The bodyshop industry is tanking so hard here right now. Talent means nothing if there's no work. Might cause some fundamental changes soon.

Bright side is, I might be without a significant other soon.

With all the strange weather we've had this spring, you would think that there would have been a dramatic increase in hailstorms...

Did you ever consider painting aircraft? If you work for the right companies, you don't need to have any aircraft maintenance experience.

Don't fret over it Chris, but thank you anyhow. It's just life. A year from now and everything will be fine.

Trials are good for us, builds character. Sucks a little going through it, but.....
