    I thought verts come stock with LSDs? The last few I saw all had an LSD (early models though)
    yea seams to me 99% of early models had them the face lift cars..not so much

        I coulda sworn he said super eta bitten end and 731. I will double check, but he knows what he is doing regardless.

            steering dampers are absolutely A Thing. you just don't usually see them on cars.

                I know they have them on bikes, I just meant that the poster of that ad probably meant the steering guibo and didn't know the right word. But for a steering wobble at a specific speed it seems unlikely that the guibo would be the culprit. Sounds like bent/unbalanced wheels, maybe coupled with worn tie rods.

                  cleaned up and headed to first job interview since my last startup tanked.

                  company has a pretty cool app: http://tunein.com/

                  i'll have about 25% of the responsibility i had at my last gig, hopefully for about the same pay. that'd be nice.

                    My vert shows it as an option added.

                      My vert and my dad's are both open. I thought auto's all had LSD's but I guess that isn't true based on the above.

                            I know how much pressure is on interviewing for a more proffessional setting. Going into interviews for EMT and transporter positions are by far the most nerve wrecking thing I've ever done, and I normally do great on interviews

                            Good Luck man

                              I'm guessing you're a cs major?
                              where did you study?

                              oh yeah and congrats!

                                i don't have a degree, got into tech as fast as i could out of high school in the mid90s.

                                i played a risky move and told them i was in talks to be a sales engineer for another company. it paid off; i have a verbal commitment that they'll compete on salary, and a 2nd interview next week.

                                Fortuna audaces iuvat, motherfuckers.
