That sounds a lot like my friend Manny's car. It makes about 500 RWHP.

I know there are 4 positions posted on the board, 2 for loaders/unloaders, one for office something and I don't remember the 4th, I think lift operator.
unfortunately I don't have any strings I could pull for ya but if you havent submitted your app yet I'll give you my name etc as a reference and I could put a word in for you if they ask me about you, but as long as you have deacent verifiable work history and no serious criminal charges against you it's pretty easy to get on there.
I believe starting floor wage is $15.65 or $16.35 an hr, it goes up every year and I dont keep up with it.
not too bad a place to work for and we get quarterly incentive checks that can range from $200-$400 and etc etc.
BTW I seen you pulling in this afternoon and was going to turn around go back and introduce myself but was in a rush to hit the bank and needed to get some errands ran before the wife got home.
i'm sure we'll run into each other again, good luck and hope you get an interview.

Clapped out black LS1 Z28 on 436 with spider web bumper this morning, I doubt your on this board but you got squirly and almost swiped my SUV full of kids. Bad Ju-Ju brotha, need to go practice basic driving in a parking lot. I wonder if you try to display your awesomeness around any cars that actually make power, instead of in the middle of family vans and old ladies. Poor old lady next to us almost had a heart attack.

Reminds me of the douche canoe last weekend in Sanford/Lake Mary area in a black convertible 03/04 Cobra.. my boss and I were heading to lunch down 17-92 towards Sanford in his 06 Z06. The guy pulled of somewhere near the Flea Market and immediately was sliding the *** end of the car around, seemingly rather proud of himself. He wasn't the smoothest driver I've ever seen either; Hard to tell if his girlfriend was having a seizure or it was just his driving.

We get to Lake Mary and he gets in the turn lane to make a left. Their light goes green and he slides the *** end a few times going through the intersection, all the while sitting up on the steering wheel like he was driving a 1980 something Caprice on 26s with Captain Crunch decals down the side.

I think he was in a hurry to get him and beat his girlfriend/wife. That was the kind of character he seemed like. Kinda like your stereotypical thirdgen owner got a hold of a Cobra...

Ran into a Hugger Orange Z28 with black Zr1's and a tragic looking passenger quarter panel (painful to see) on I4 and Maitland Blvd. A few seconds later got next to a nice looking maroon metallic GTO also on maitland, they turned off onto 441.

No, I roll on stock *** 10 spokers, lol. Mine looks like a bone stock unwashed SS with quarter panel door dings. The only giveaway its anything special at all is the exhaust volume and a tiny badge on the back. I live out in Apopka so I take the 414/429 everywhere.

Yeah I have seen your car several times but I am always in the mommy wagons. I usually don't drive the car when its really hot out so it stays in the garage during the summer.

There's a white and pewter firebird in the FAMU college of law parking garage this year. I think the pewter one is a trans am, not sure on the white one but it has dual exhaust outs vs. a v6 single out.
