Little story...

Last Wednesday I unavoidably hit a dead creature in the road on highland road. Thursday afternoon the rear end of my car starts squeeking like a ***** on bumps and stuff.

I got advice from Greg to check all the bolts on the rear. I do that today and then drive home from my brothers house.(one bolt on the top of the coils moved a little but everything else was tight.) The squeeking is less now but is still there on ocassion.

I was thinking about spraying all the joints with WD40, any problems with this????

P.S. the bottom of the car(diff., muffler, wheels...) looked like a SAW movie, blood everywhere

I think Sharif totally dropped the ball several times in regards to this guy's car.. that whole issue with the Stage I turbo and the many times the kid brought it up? Sam talkin to Sharif about it being stage I and not II? Invoices popping up showing Stage I? The higher PSI to achieve the numbers? Come on now.. Sharif HAD to of known somethin...

I aint hate'n... i'm just sayin..

regardless, if i'm going to buy a 40K car, and drop another 20-30K into it to make it a "fast sedan".. why not just go with a fast car from the factory? with warranty?

Nice! I'm still studying for the CCENT, about half way through but I got a good understanding of it. My buddy who is damn near a Cisco expert questioned me with a few things and I got em right. I figured with the CCENT being so long the CCNA couldn't be any longer... WRONG, damn guide for the CCNA is 750+ pages

Looks like little c-mens

Okay so what I get from that is the DC controller is running DHCP and DNS and it looks like a class A network.

Are those individual computers (the lil c-mens) or just like "departments" or something.

That looks like one big clusterfawk lol

I was trying to explain to him the DC's at each of our sites.. Prod, Frisco, and Houston.. and how each DC replicates services like DHCP, DNS, WINS and so on.. this all came from questions about DNS settings and the differences between the primary and secondary and so on..

and the computers were there to justify the "squiggleys".. lol
