And with how practical it is to have a four door hatch with a young one and two dogs, I don`t see me getting anything else for awhile. That`s why I figure I`ll throw some money into it (over time) so I have more of a desire to keep it.
Unless a used RS comes up then all bets are off!
Re: Random thoughts thread
Nautical- I`m all about *linear* powerbands, so bigger turbos are seldom the Rx for what I want. Heh heh, for that matter, TURBOs are generally not gonna give me what I want period, but some of the more modern systems are getting better.
And I hear you on the kids/dogs, these days if it won`t accommodate two (big, active) dogs (and sometimes even a dogcrate or two) I`m basically not interested.

I would ask, that due to last minute demand of a costly procedure(if it is a bit more "challenging" to apply than PBL) and product, i`d need a deposit , otherwise they may need to wait until i get a hold of it or just stick with PBL. that way you also won`t end up loosing $ if you buy extra CSL and have someone flake out on you. Doesn`t it also cost more than PBL?? soooo price increase and more $$$ for you?

oh he is still dropping the car off Monday regardless of whether or not I can get the CSL in time. he said he will just schedule again later for the CSL. doesn`t mind at all driving down just to leave me the car for a day or two and play with waxes on it or something of my preference - just not coating unless its CSL-
and I am fine tuning my pricing but I think I will figure it out very soon as I am getting a website built (finally!).
yes the CSL is about $65 without any specials or deals but I am going to order a vile or two on this current sale- I have a White Hellcat Challenger booked in September and a 15% off sale is fine w/me. (love me some mystery items and cant turn down 3 more DMTs at that Vega Deal price! - just a perfect storm of take my money- haha)
and back to the csl- it takes about 4/5 of the entire 30mil vile (or did for me at least) to do a charger - the redline cat didn`t have any vinyl so it would take less for this go mango (especially considering I over applied it with the lc coating applicator- once dialed in with the carpro block stuffed with the small suede cloth, it was golden (need to get more of those too- just like using them) see take more of my money- hell the longer I think about this post the more products I will probably pick up- lol
and yes, it much more time consuming to apply than pbl. to be honest on a recent car I sprayed the entire hood and then worked it (PBL) in and it performed just as easy as one section at a time (although I don`t recommend anyone taking after my bad examples)
I did make a few booboos with CSL on the pass side of the hellcat but they polished down after I noticed them and I solved the application issue (as far as I know)
PBL on the other hand is about the same price for the 4oz spray bottle BUT you could get several applications (5-10 depending on how much you use)...so its much more cost effective on my side to use PBL
problem is, what happens if I spluge after all these details and get Gyeon on my SRT, now everybody is gonna want Gyeon, lol
its a sick cycle of keeping up with the joneses with car club folk, lol
I plan to be on the $ side of this one though, haha
I think my real angle needs to be upselling the EXO on top of CSL since you can apply it so quickly, I just have not decided what to charge for that yet because its essentially applying two coatings but one without all the prep work involved
I suppose that`s another thing that is keeping me back, I don`t really know what My time and My skill is worth or at least what the market is willing to pay for it... first world problems, I know

Or could have just not gone based on religious reasons and been called a hero by some. I loved MASH.

I find the issue of (genuine) Conscientious Objectors to be a bit complicated. If somebody *really* believes that their religion utterly forbids the taking of another`s life or even contributing to it indirectly...well, defying one`s religion can be a big deal given that person`s Worldview.
Are there allowances for such beliefs, like....some MOS or Service Alternative that can accommodate such beliefs so that person could still Serve without violating their beliefs? I simply don`t know about such stuff...
