why not keep the RX-7 and commit it as a track car? We all know that you want to. Would have a minimal effect on your ability to get a loan or pay the loan and provide you with a car to enjoy on track and have another to rely on for living. Just my .02, not that it matters much, since I've had 2 or more cars for the past 3 years.
oh, and congrats on the job offer

And Ive never been denied vacation, ever. Its a pretty damn basic level of treating your employees with a minimum level of respect and decency. Something, from what Ive heard, PEC isnt too good at. Also, PEC is the only contractor I have ever heard of that does not fly their employees back home every week. In fact, it is written into gubment contracting policies that this must happen, so PEC may be breaking some rules to make more money.

WRXehhhh !!!
With a good set of winter tires the WRX will dominate snowy weather. Also fun to drive in the springtime. Plus, AWD donuts are the win.

Evan Wrote:I'm not saying any of mine have ever been denied, I'm just stating the simple fact that an employer doesn't have to approve every request you give them. I personally expect to be approved of any vacation request I make that I give reasonable notice for, but that doesn't mean I'll get it. It's just good policy for a company to approve requests that are given with sufficient notice. PEC apparently doesn't care what it's employees think of them.Dragon Wrote:Well a vacation request is simply that, they don't have to approve it.Dont know what kind of companies you have worked for, but I expect to be granted vacation when notice is given ahead of time.
