thats the hard part. its also hard to get a job. everywhere is on a highering freeze.. but a guy in my class is going to talk to his friend that has a cherokee with a big lift and everything and his girlfriend rolled it and he thinks hell either sell it to me as a parts truck or just sell me parts off it. which would be freakin awsome either way..

Hey jeeptilldeath, I hate to tell you this, but I have a friend that works for Fastenal here locally and they have cut his pay twice in the 8 or so months he's been there. He actually got laid off not long after the first cut, but somehow, through some favors owed, his boss was able to pull some strings and get it reversed. He did tell me, that on the last cut, they cut this same boss's bonuses out and that cut his pay by 50%. Now, this may only be out of the Indianapolis district, I don't know. Just thought I'd share that with you though.
