Hey guys.

I sent my BMW into the shop for an oil change and fix the rear tires.

The tires were worn from a lack of tire rotation and also has nails in
them ... so I swapped them out and they put them on the rear.

I have a new appointment for the new tires to be put on the right hand
side of the car for tire wear considerations and keeping the car level
on tire rotations not twisting caster/camber out because one pair of
tires has 50% more rubber on the road as they are new.

Sooooo .... got the car back with an airbag warning light on.

Took it for a spin and found out the cruise control and radio control
buttons on the steering wheel are not functioning.

Going to test the horn tomorrow to see if that is off as well.

Just the center of the steering column is off electrically.

The light switch handle and the wiper switch handle on each side of the
steering column are just fine.

If Tillman's finds some screwdriver damage to the wiring loom ... or
some such issue like that ... have to find out who is sabotaging a
vehicle so that a life is in danger of death by accident.

This is the second time something like this happened, but this time they
broke it good.

Having a BMW certified mechanic newly arrived from Mexico with all the
illegal wetbacks getting their Salena Salcido on killing US for a dime
... is not something to my liking I am sorry to say.

The illegal mexicans make foxed up Americans ... doing something like
this to their employeer ... as they can just jump the border and escape
the law in most cases.

Thanks to Obamabush Immigration Control ... just in time for Pandemic
Swine Flue disease coming up to kill us.

nice guy ...

I have no problem whatsoever with anyone coming in taking my job.  My
take is if someone can do my job for so much less, it is not worth
keeping.  I'd better find a better job that pays more.  What is also
true is if someone half way around the world can do the same job you
do for one tenth of your salary, your job is gone.  Protection will
not keep your job from going away.  If your emplyer does not move the
factory or the office half way around the world to hire people there,
someone else will.  Either way your job is gone.

no one can take my job as a psychologist ... always be one.

pay is not so good all the time however.

I also have no problem with who I hire to do a job, or any employer will
hire who ever.

Taco Press is cheaper in China ... sold in Mexico ... as the Mexicans
are paid to much down there to make a Taco Press.

Also at Home Depot or Costco ... the Chinese crap is crap.

If one wants a Kitchen Cabinet for example, they can get it better
built, delivered no damaged, and for less money to get it made locally.

Buy a headache with your money get what you pay for.

Obamabush told US he would CHANGE instead he steps on the GAS ... all
hail Petroleum Profits UP UP UP !!!

 I hope to hell you do not live in the US!!!!!!!!  The generations past
knew you did not cater to the lowest denominator. There are many
instances where protecting the home business makes sence. If all
manufacturing jobs go over seas then you have no infastructure for
Defence if needed. It is not a f.cking one world game as the retards in
Washinton would have you believe. those who pay attenction to history
understand the socialist bastards running the show are trying wholesale
to destroy the US as the greatest Free nation in the world. and thinking
like yours will just advance their adjenda that much faster. Please
think before speaking or we will just be another 2nd rate nation before
you can turn around. (and then there will not "BE" any better job for
you to get.)    KB

I do live in the US.  And I am quite confident my skill sets are
giving an edge which I need to constantly maintain.  I am an engineer.

What we need is to face the challenge head on.  We need to do what
other people cannot do.  If other people can do the same thing we do
we need to do it better and faster.  If we cannot do either our job is
potentially in peril and we do not deserve the life style we have been
enjoying when our counterparts are getting one tenth of our salary
doing the same thing.

For the past 50 years, our good paying jobs have been eroded away
because we lost the edge.  Manufacturing is good.  Except we need to
manufacture what others can't.

Nope ... Huffy Bicycle Factory moved to China and they burn gas to get
it here ... and it is in poor manufacture for the fact of it.  We do
make better bicycles and better cabinets and better cars in fact.

BMW has no problems making good cars and keeping good business and
giving goof value for the money ... GM is more interested in killing the
little people as the BIG rich foxnut dittoheads laugh all the way to the
bank.

Obama knows which side of the white bread gets the butter as he is a
good upstairs nigger for the foxing white boys club.

For 50 years our country has been destroyed from with in for the sake of
3% more profits.

Here in Sonoma County the Grape Alcohol Corporations used up all the
water last winter freeze to try and save 3% of the grape crop and did
not do it nevertheless ... however they used up all the reserve water
during time of drought ... as they fox their boys and girl children in
the arse to keep them from straying far from the cult.

Sounds like crazy stuff ... but is real I am sorry to say.

Still ... I have agree with you on the fix ... USA makes it better,
faster, cheaper.

Kitchen Cabinets for example ... buy local ... cheaper, better, no
damages on delivery ... etc.

Lots of stuff like that in the purchase power of the US citizen if they
just use their noggin and get out of the immature mindset of the toddler
tantrum.
