| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: May 3, 2005 Views: 394 | RE: Dragonmaster I made $6.60 an hour in 1985, when I was a gemologist for a diamond and colored-stone wholesaler. |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 3, 2005 Views: 389 | RE: Dragonmaster I always thought the difference between my Team Leader (at my prev job) and me. I was on like $48,000 p/a at 37.5 hrs/week He was on say $60,000 p/a at say 45 hrs/week (no o/t paid) So that works out to $24.61/hour for me and $25.64/hour for him!!! So I was effectively like on $1 a hour less than him with virtually zero responsibility! compared to him having to performance reviews, complaints and sh1t like that. Having said that, an extra $12,000 p.a. is always nice. |

| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 369 | RE: Dragonmaster I'm guessing per annual! I know, doesn't it seem like sometimes he is speaking a totally different language! I loved his car answer! They make the same car as the Pontiac GTO? Why? Of all cars...lol Snrub - you never answered...what kind of car are you going to buy? |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 365 | RE: Dragonmaster You cant understand me, if I started with the rhyming slang you wouldnt have any idea. p/a = per annum As for the GTO, I'll bet Pontiac sell them on the basis as the classic american muscle car for the classic american man...aaaaawwww yeeeaaaahhhhh - right? Anyway, go here for a Monaro, see the simmilarity (I think they sell them to Saudi Arabia too!); http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/modeloverview?modelid=12001 As for me, no Monaros, I am just after an early 90's small car for like $4,000. I wont name the models because it will probably mean nothing to you guys but just something to get me around (so I dont have to drive my wife to and from work everyday). |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 364 | RE: Dragonmaster I dont know how I bolded that, I didnt mean it. |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 363 | RE: Dragonmaster ...okay... which of theses cars do you see regularly on the road: Honda Toyota Volkswagen BMW Mercedes Mazda Volvo Saab KIA Hyundai Deawoo Jaguar Any American cars? |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 356 | RE: Dragonmaster The only American cars here are Chrysler and Dodge (are they the same company?) I say a Dodge Crossfire (I think they are called) yesterday, it looked really good. But I think your manufacturers are happy making Left Hand Drive cars and its not worth stuffing around changing them to Right Hand Drive just to sell a few overseas. When I said I wouldnt list them I meant the models not the make because they call the same cars different names around the world. |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 4, 2005 Views: 355 | RE: Dragonmaster They were actually going to make a supercar monaro but I was shelved because of cost, they still made a few as race cars but the road version was going to have all the go-fast bits. Look here http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/26/1056449373103.html PS Sorry, I cant be bothered doing the code/tags thing. |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 350 | RE: Dragonmaster Hi, just got back and have bought a 1993 Toyota Corolla Seca (hope that means something), it is auto, power steering, CD player etc, alarm, central locking etc... its cool. Funny thing is that its red, meaning all 3 cars I have ever owned have been red. Its only done like 148,000 kilometres (miles ???), anyway other cars of this age have like way over 200,000 so I'm quite pleased. |
| Posted By: Pocket Protector Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 346 | RE: Dragonmaster 1 KM = .62 miles 1$ AU = $.778 US |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 341 | RE: Dragonmaster Yea, that is only like 92,000 miles. Yes, that is low. You can't go wrong with a Toyota. That is too bad that of all the American cars you have Chrysler products. Chrysler sucks...yes, Dodge is made by Chrysler. |
| Posted By: James Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 336 | RE: Dragonmaster (shrugs) the cost of living here is REALY low. I'm getting a 1991 Plymouth Acclaim. It came with a 4 or 6cylinder, but it will hold a small v8 (he he he) In two more paydays I'll have what I need to pay cash for one with a 6 (about$5,000) and by the time the trans blowes I'll have enuf money to get it overhaled. I'd rather have an older car with a new trans, engine, and paint (under $3,000) then have a new car that you have to hook up to a super PC to change the battery. I know spending $8,000 on a 14 year old car is a bit wacky, but its what I want. |
| Posted By: Ew Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 333 | RE: Dragonmaster Toyotas are the best. I will never buy American shit car. |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: May 5, 2005 Views: 367 | RE: Dragonmaster Ew - you are a wise man! I agree. I drive a Toyota Camry and I plan on buying a new Toyota Corolla next year, the WSR with the six-speed and all the ground effects and the rear spoiler, and sweeeet gas mileage! |
