    I like the new minis more.


    And yes, diagnostic and computer work is hard but in high demand right now.

    the all 4 stands for
    4wd
    4 cyl
    4 doors
    but the 4wd fails because its still based on a fwd platform

    yup and thats why im going to be the only certified person in the shop on computer diagnostics
    alot of the older techs dont wont to learn and work with it so im going to get all there computer work

    yeah. i have trouble finding mechanics that are electronic savvy enough just for prix stuff. like with our sensors and modules and what not. i have some family members who are mechanics and they just aren't skilled with it. which is understandable.

    but yeah. the all 4 is just too damn big. i prefer the smaller two doors ones. with boost

    you missed my damn point.

    what i'm saying is that most mechanics, majority older mechanics, who didn't grow up around or go to school when so much technology was being integrated with cars, or those who haven't updated themselves, aren't familiar with the electronic control such systems have over vehicle functions.

    i was not implying that a grand prix's electronics or mechanics are difficult to work on.

    i was referring to the application of such electronics not being recognized by some mechanics.

    Enjoy HS, everything after that is complicated and expensive provided you are a responsible person... Car insurance goes down as you age though... I make more $$$ now, but expenses have amassed and skyrocketed...

    dpzelenak better get yourself a x35i and learn how to change an hpfp, lol... Thinking about getting an e92 or c63 in the summer if things go well. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
